Talk:AI Art Application and Improvements Handbook

Splitting into chapters
I think this book should be split into multiple chapters that are more developed from an educational standpoint. I will plan to start this splitting myself soon if no one else does. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:37, 9 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, how would you split it? It would be better if you outlined this in advance. I'll get back to it once I find some time for it, for one thing I'd like to use lots of citations but don't know if it should rather go into a new WP article that I thought of earlier starting off with some short list-style content I added to the AI art WP article long ago. It may possibly also include a section on research and development citing computer science studies. I could show you that former part of article but I've got more by now. A key thing is that while AI art can be used for all sorts of things, many of these are not yet notable or are actually implemented in practice (relatively successfully, meaningfully, or widely) – so what would be listed would be these that are notable and have good / WP:RS sources. I don't know if it's good or bad thing if citations are used in WikiBooks. Would be interested if you have feedback on these things. The book is intended to inform about notable applications as well as how to implement these successfully in practice by the reader.

 * Hi @Prototyperspective! Essentially I think this needs to be more book-like. It's hard for me to articulate exactly what that feels like, but some of my immediate thoughts follow. An educational book should have specific aims and things it is trying to teach/provide its readers. It should be well-structured and broken up into chapters that build on and interact with each other. It should have a reasonable balance of text and images, and images should be relevant and well-explained, especially when used as examples. I'm now thinking that this book should probably be merged into AI Art Generation Handbook, since I'm not sure it can become well developed enough on its own, and it complements the other book well. Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 21:44, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * First of all I guess this is not a conventional type of book just like cookbooks are not conventional types of books either. What the aims are is already in the lead "intended to help people create free useful media for the public domain using AI art generators in practice with a focus on post-editing, areas of applications, and getting things done in practice.". It is well-structured via sections, most books don't interact with other chapters, and the sections following the sections about how to improve issues build upon the former but maybe there are some ways to improve that part. I don't think it should be merged into that book since that other book is about art styles and has an entirely different approach and subjects. It's a separate book because it complements that other book well. Thanks for the feedback though. Prototyperspective (discuss • contribs) 22:14, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
