FANTASTİK EVRENİN YAPAY ZEKÂ İLE GÖRSELLEŞTİRİLMESİNDEKİ POTANSİYELLER VE ZORLUKLAR: LEMA, EN YÜKSEK TEPE
Abstract
Bu çalışma, fantastik anlatılarla oluşturulan evrenlerin mekânsal tanımlamalar içeren dilsel göstergelerinin yapay zekâ aracılığıyla görselleştirilmesini incelemektedir. Haldun İlkdoğan’ın 2025’te yayımlanan Lema, En Yüksek Tepe romanının evreni, yapay zekâ destekli görselleştirme süreçlerinin potansiyellerini ve sınırlarını araştırmak için bir vaka çalışması olarak ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmanın kapsamı, fantastik edebiyat, kurmaca evrenler ve yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin kesişimine odaklanmaktadır. Edebiyat, görsel iletişim, kentsel tasarım ve yapay zekâ disiplinlerini birleştiren bu çalışma, romandaki mekânsal betimlemeleri görselleştirmek için ChatGPT ile oluşturulan betimsel komutları (promptları) kullanmaktadır. Bu komutlar, romanın fantastik evrenini illüstrasyon ve sinema gibi sanatsal anlatımlara dönüştürmek için bir görsel ifade yaratım süreci tanımlamaktadır. Çalışma, yapay zekanın fantastik evrenlerin üretiminde sunduğu yenilikçi fırsatları tartışırken, üç ana sorunun altını çiziyor: Tutarsızlık (tutarlı görsel temsiller elde etmede değişkenlik); bağlam eksikliği (romanın estetik ve kültürel çerçevesinden kopukluk); öngörülemezlik (yaratıcı çıktıda kontrol edilemeyen varyasyonlar).Bu bağlamda çalışmada yazınsal metinlerin görselleştirilmesinde yapay zekânın sanat üretim ilişkilerindeki rolü değerlendirilmekte, yeni anlatım süreçlerinin olanakları ve zorlukları tartışılmaktadır.

POTENTIALS AND CHALLENGES OF VISUALIZING A FANTASTIC UNIVERSE THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: LEMA, THE HIGHEST HILL
Abstract
This study examines the visualisation of the linguistic signs of the universes created by fantastic narratives, which contain spatial definitions, through artificial intelligence. The universe of Haldun İlkdoğan's novel Lema, En Yüksek Tepe (The Highest Hill), published in 2025, is taken as a case study to investigate the potentials and limitations of AI-assisted visualisation processes. The scope of the study focuses on the intersection of fantasy literature, fictional universes and artificial intelligence technologies. Combining the disciplines of literature, visual communication, urban design and artificial intelligence, this study uses depictive prompts generated with ChatGPT to visualise spatial depictions in the novel. These prompts serve as visual expression creation process to transform the fantastic universe of the novel into artistic expressions such as illustration and cinematic imagery. While discussing the innovative opportunities offered by artificial intelligence in the production of fantasy universes, the study highlights three main problems: Inconsistency (variability in achieving coherent visual representations); lack of context (detachment from the novel’s aesthetic and cultural framework); unpredictability (uncontrollable variations in the creative output). In this context, this study evaluates the role of artificial intelligence in art production relations in the visualisation of literary texts and discusses both the possibilities and challenges of new narrative production processes.
