If ChatGPT has become a representive example of artificial intelligence (AI) today, tect-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 chich AI will 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 learing itself determine the result of the generation. Consequently, AI-generated images are often limited or biased.

VS AI Street Fighting builds upon Midjourney, a highly noticeable AI text-generated image tool at the moment, and creates a creative combat of text-generated images between humans and AI in public space or on the streets. The work poses an essential question: is the creation of AI simply mechanical, and therefore, meaningless and merely imitative? Or does it signal fresh creativity when the complex human imagination and creativity are combined with AI? Adopting the mode 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 techno art in terms of coping with the rapid changes in the scenes of technology and content production.
