A local bar has embraced the power of artificial intelligence, commissioning an AI to create a large-format artwork for display, according to a Reddit user. Frustrated with the results of using traditional photographs, the bar opted for AI-generated art, finding it offered a visually appealing alternative at a significantly lower cost than hiring a human artist. Reddit user /u/Roy4Pris shared their experience on the r/artificialintelligence subreddit, remarking that this was their first encounter with AI ‘in real life’. The post has ignited a discussion on the increasing accessibility and real-world applications of AI art.
