100 AI Art Prompts to Use for FREE

AI tools are the hottest thing right now. Whether you love them, hate them or are terrified of them, they’re here to stay. And actually, they’re not that new.

In fact, in the summer of 1965 Dartmouth College became the OG birthplace of Artificial Intelligence (AI); hosting the brilliant minds that envisioned machines emulating human intelligence. Thank God. Don’t you ever get tired of doing all the thinking?

The OG AI or "thinking machines," juggled names like cybernetics and automata theory. But John McCarthy and his team, including Marvin Minsky and Nathaniel Rochester, had bigger dreams. From this meeting, not only was the term "AI" coined, but also the foundation of symbolic methods was laid, opening doors for AI's stellar journey into the realm of artistry, wordplay, and one day, daily companion :)

If you’ve never used AI tools, that’s ok. AI art is a fun way to familiarize yourself with the world of prompts and AI tools. Obviously, most of the art you’ll see here will revolve around pugs but the beauty of AI is that you can create whatever you want.

Now let’s get to the fun part. Use these prompts alone or string a few together to create something impressive and brilliant for personal use or for your small business.
