If ChatGPT has become a representative example of AI today, text-driven image-generating instruments such as Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion can be said to have brought a brand-new meaning and impact for humanity in terms of the production of pictures. AI-generated images come from the training of image databases: without that, AI would not be able to produce text-based pictures. In this regard, the image databases selected for the training as well as the training of machine learning itself determine the result of the generation. Consequently, AI-generated images are often limited or biased.

VS AI Street Fighting builds upon Midjourney, one of the most popular AI text-generated image tools at the moment, and creates a creative combat of text-generated images between humans and AI in public spaces. The work poses an essential question: is the creation of AI simply mechanical, and therefore, meaningless and merely imitative? Or does it signal fresh possibilities when the complex human imagination is combined with AI? Adopting the form of a street combat video game, the work brings the controversial issue regarding the creativity of AI to the streets, transforming a serious topic into a participatory event of street entertainment for the public in a festive mood. Meanwhile, it also highlights the proactive approach of tech art in terms of coping with the rapid changes unfolding today in technology and content production.
