The Death Of Commercial Art

For the white paper on eVTOL I put together I decided to use AI generated art. Finding copyright free images is always difficult and I did not want to use pictures of actual eVTOLs. This was to avoid singling out any particular project in what is a criticism of the whole sector. This led me down a rabbit hole of the astonishing (and slightly spooky) capabilities of AI art. Since I have done this I have started to recognize it being used occasionally in commercial journalism

The images below were all generated for free using Microsoft Bing AI Art generation (https://www.bing.com/images/create?FORM=GENILP) and Gencraft (https://gencraft.com/generate) I tried a lot of free generators and I found these two were the best for what I was doing.

Below are some of the more interesting and wilder examples – starting with the Gencraft set. I will show the text prompt that generated the image above the image. These are in general order of complexity.

And then those generated using Microsoft Bing

Very spacious manufacturing facility for a small sleek white aircraft “eVTOL aircraft”. Workers wearing neat black overalls. Big windows and a sunny day

eVTOL with very complex wires and systems being worked on by maintenance technicians, standing on a lake, surrounded by people. Photoreal, sunny day.

And finally a couple of fun things.

Very spacious manufacturing facility for a complex steam powered “eVTOL aircraft” full of wires and systems. Man in a top hat. Big windows, large open doors and a sunny day. Union Jack flags.

A hall full of the readers of the newsletter from Abbott Aerospace UK Ltd. Bright sunny day, refreshments being served Large aircraft hanging from the ceiling of the hall.
