Thanks for contributing.
Essentially, any picture that you look at and think "I don't get what's going on here, but I'll bet it a great story!" It's kinda vague, but I enjoy pictures that really set up an atmosphere of enigmatic literature. When you look at an image and think "Why are they doing that? What's that thing? Why is she acting so calm in the middle of an emergency?" That kind of thing.

It did leave me with more questions than answers, but I enjoyed the sets and the ideas that were being floated; it's definitely not the kind of thing that's meant to be fully understood in one go, so you get to think about it and come up with more interesting ideas

At least that's how Tarkovsky's movies feel to me, even if I havent watched all of them yet

Here's a fun artist fact. When an artist says shit like this
>I wanted the ambiguity of not knowing the releationship between x
It doesn't mean that they purposely left it up to interpretation to make it fun for the audience, it means they just don't fucking know but want to cover their ass to make themselves sound deep. It's the "you wouldn't understand!" when you confront a writer about an obvious plot hole (like the Institute's goal in replacing everyone with synths in Fallout 4).
7-8 times out of 10, an artist doesn't actually know what the fuck they're going for until it's done and then they make shit up about it at the end when someone asks them about it or they have to say something poignant about it. Obviously if they have a purposeful goal and concept in mind that's fleshed out, it's different, but when they're just making something without that, it boils down to "this looks cool" or "this is a neat concept, I'm going to keep going".
It's perfectly fine to make something that looks cool for the sake of looking cool, but it's dumb as fuck to try and make up what it's about after the fact. You didn't have any grand narrative in mind, but made something you liked. Just own up to it. Not everything in art has to be pretentious as fuck.

Source: Artist that used to do this shit all the fucking time. It's something drilled into you in art school so by the time you "graduate" you're huffing your own farts.

>an artist doesn't actually know what the fuck they're going for until it's done

Or basically, the same sort of thing A.I. does when it creates art, only it's the human observer who thinks "this looks cool" instead.

Not the guy who posted the pic.

Nah, you give an AI an image of static and tell it it's an apple and it's like "oh yeah, I see it". It's the digital equivalent of finding shapes in clouds.

Not really. The whole process is different. With AI, you feed it word prompts and it references databases, wait a little and it spits out a hot girl with 3 legs, 7 fingers and perfect boobs.
You can keep refreshing the prompt to get something different, but it's a very linear/derivative workflow.
Artists can throw shit at the wall, mess up and learn from it, then come back and do it cooler/better next time. It doesn't have to make sense as long as it can suspend your disbelief long enough for you to agree that space ship fights would be awesome (even if fire can't exist in a vacuum). I think it's great when art has a reason, but sometimes that reason is just to explore ideas/concepts that we can't access through real-live experience, and are forced into the mind-scape to find. You get to enjoy that idea as long as you're drawing, writing, painting, or whatever. Even if you're just staring at it. AI is like a burp you get to laugh at, being the creator of something (no matter how silly or nonsensical) is a slow-burning enjoyment. A log in the creative fire, compared to the metaphorical tinder AI provides. It has its place but is a gimmick, and will never satisfy the creator in the way genuine art does.

That's surprising. In writing, deliberate ambiguity is one of my favorite narrative devices.
