Which Sculpture Was Produced by AI?

Much has been written recently about the imminent impact of AI in every aspect of human endeavor. I have been playing around with the generative visual AI application, Mid Journey in the subdomain of sculpture. As a casual sculptor I have been curious how closely I could replicate with AI an actual garden piece I recently completed. As the visuals here illustrate, the AI, the image on the right, creates a considerably more complex piece than I have. Some would say a more pleasing one. Mid Journey generates imagery based on text "prompts," descriptive inputs. Here's the text description for this work: "semi-tansparent plastic and wire mesh sculpture of amorphous simple kidney shape made of several curved flat transparent plastic sheets with fine curved wire mesh panels inside suspended on one glass rod hovering about 2 feet above the ground in early spring garden."


I'm not sure I actually like the AI version, or at least it's not my style and I certainly couldn't make it with my modest expertise. But, in terms of being able to easily generate visual options with a few text prompts generative visual AI will have major impact on all aspects of visual design.
