USC Libraries Board of Councilers' Ahmanson Lab Project Spotlight

Ahmanson Lab AI + ART Competition

Each round began with two nouns and one verb delivered by Lab staff.

The first player then had 3 minutes to craft a prompt including those words to generate an image.

The second player had 3 minutes to assess the image and alter the existing prompt to improve it in some fashion. How might they make the current image more interesting, realistic, or engaging? How might they make it more fantastical, grotesque, or bizarre? How might they take the current topic/prompt in a different direction entirely? In altering the prompt, the second player may add as much text as they like but can only remove 1/2 of the words already in the prompt - thus working with, while still altering, their opponents ideas and style.

The first player then had 3 minutes to repeat the process in the prior step.

After 3 volleys, the audience voted on the best of the 6 images generated throughout the round.
