This research explores the creative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in artistic practice by testing various AI tools for their usability and capability as mediums of artistic expression. The project focuses on visualizing a dream of Mulan, a classic Chinese female figure, using the predictable features of AI generative models, with the aim of exploring whether such methods can produce amazing results. The project employs a collaborative process that combines different AI platforms to generate a range of materials, which are then with subjectively integrated into Mulan's fantasy dreamscape. The main conclusion drawn from the project is that artists guide abstract concepts and provide micro-interference, while AI produces concrete components and variations. The findings suggest that AI tools have the potential to transform artistic creation modes, and collaborative art creation can result in unique and compelling artworks.
