AiR is Civitai’s Artist-in-Residence Program, which serves as an incubator and digital studio for the creative exploration of generative AI. It aims to investigate new techniques, applications, concepts, and ultimately break new aesthetic ground through the use of AI. The program provides fertile ground for collaboration with our established community in the form of artist-led proposals and projects.

    I guess this is neat, but I don’t understand what the point is. Here’s what it says this program offers:

    The program provides a digital studio environment, access to advanced AI tools and technologies, partnership with experts in the field, and opportunities for collaboration within our established artist community. It also includes a $1000 grant and promotion to our community of millions.

    $1000 is nothing nowadays; I’m not sure what that would even do. Buy most of a 4090?

    I already have a “digital studio environment” set up on my computer. I like it the way it is.

    Partnership with experts and community collaboration are already pretty easy with social media. The generative AI community is generally helpful.

    I guess this program might help people who aren’t already using generative AI get into it?
