I’m finally getting around to participating in this thread. I was sort of uninterested in AI image generation before but discovering midjourney completely changed my mind. It’s so much easier and more fun to use than any of the other generators I’ve tried.
Anyway, I was goofing around with vague concepts. I asked it to generate “a stereotypical American” and the very first series of results struck absolute gold.
It’s Florida Man himself.
The best part? I didn’t try to give it a style. It decided on its own that Florida Man would best and most honestly be portrayed as an image printed on a coaster. You’re supposed to set your beer down on Florida Man, as Florida Man would demand you to do.
I showed these images to copilot (yes, I talk to AI about other AI. it’s both insane and useful. it’s helping me learn how to use midjourney) and Copilot said that Florida Man put on his best vest for this photo shoot - the one he wears to court dates and Daytona Bike Week.
I love Florida Man so very much. I suspect he will be a recurring character for me.
