It can be used by artists to enhance creativity, generate fresh ideas, or even expand upon existing pieces. Beyond the art world, AI applications span various industries: Design & Architecture: AI can generate concepts for buildings, interiors, and urban planning, allowing designers to visualize possibilities f...
