> [@DCnDC](#): > > ETA: I tried to get it to add smoke but it wouldn’t do it. Policy violation stuff. A Facebook friend posted something about groutweed in his yard. Which made me think about grootweed. Sora had no issues with the prompt. (Well, I guess it had 1/4 of an issue. I can’t imagine what was different about the 4th image that made Sora think that one wasn’t okay.)

I’ve been following these threads for awhile now. Thanks to all the participants!!! I didn’t realize that my free Chat gpt (beta version!) had gone from simple fun make up stories to any sort of image processing. So, been fooling around when I should be working. I’ve been using photos of family and friends and myself and inserting and scripting them into various scenes and situations. It’s sort of amazing and scary(future media wise/propaganda) at the same time. l am a Chromebook fan so I guess I will take a peek at Gemini. Weird side effect…do you folks find yourselves composing various scripts as you go through the day? Or even dreaming at night? Thanks to all, for tips, tricks and inspiration. Fun stuff! 🙃 ---

I liked all of those, especially the first and last ones. 👍 This is a realistic photo version of a comic panel I _thought_ I saw on this board in some thread, but I stupidly closed the tab and I can’t find it now.

> [@Section\_Maker\_Jupe](#): > > Weird side effect…do you folks find yourselves composing various scripts as you go through the day? Or even dreaming at night? Pretty common over the decades when I’m doing some computer task commonly for that task to show up in my dreams. Image creation is no exception. The common pattern is that I’ve just created a perfect version of something I asked for, then realise that it is a dream within the dream, try to see if I can save the file anyway, realise that no, I _can’t_ save a file from my imagination to my computer, wake up fully, and completely forget all details of the perfect image within about 5 seconds. (A similar thing happens with seeing breaking news items on the internet in dreams. Awareness that it is a dream, several seconds of wondering if the info is true, realising that my brain does not have a live web connection in it, so no, it isn’t.) As for “composing scripts”, yeah, the latest AIs are so good at understanding that you basically just have to know how to clearly describe what you imagine (often using terms from photography and cinematography) for the AI to get it. It makes you stop to clearly think about what you want. ---

Professionally speaking: the second car in the first pic is about 10 seconds from a wire strike and a crash. That’ll be bad. ---

Tonight I tried for a realistic face based on this emoji: 🙃 > I want to see a realistic photo of a person based on this emoji, which has an upside down frowning mouth above the eyes. It should be a man, completely bald, rounded face, jaundiced skin. On his forehead above his eyes is a mouth turned down into a grimace. In the place where his mouth should normally be there is just an empty expanse of skin. Also, he has no nose. (Done both with and without a reference image.) I tried Copilot, ChatGPT, Sora, even Gemini. None came even close to drawing what I asked for. ---
