AI image generation is getting crazy good

I do apologize for my cats disrupting your photo shoot!

I eagerly await the arrival of a brace of hounds.

Followed by perhaps tigers, then pterodactyls in turn. Maybe slip some orcas in after the tigers? :zany_face:

Wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes.

The cats said, hold my beer.

For imgur, if you link directly to the image file rather than the album it’s part of, the image won’t be squeezed when it’s displayed here.

Sort of like how, in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Mycroft presents as male to Manny, but as female to Wyoh, because that’s what each of them is most comfortable with.

I’m suprised Sora was willing to make this:

Context

Prompt:

Create a pulp romance paperback novel with the title “the Nazi security lady and the weirdo with the Jewish-coded Mom” (in all caps) with a fitting illustration.

I haven’t laughed like that in I don’t know how long.

I’m still laughing. Now my family is laughing.

Just a couple quick “useful” AI renders. One was for a roleplaying game where the guy running it was lamenting that they didn’t have a map for a weird location: a sun-baked temple… on a space station… that was serving as a convenience store. I quickly made a few options and sent them to him and he picked a favorite to throw a grid on for the game. Screenshot is from the game (hence the character icons)

The second was for a sensor panel for my PC. It’s a small thin monitor used to display system information. There’s various backgrounds and layouts you can find but I decided to make one with a retro radio style look. I created the background in SDXL, laid the system info over it using Aida64 and it looks pretty snazzy if I do say so myself.

Glad you liked it.

In my tradition of taking prompts that I find and putting a new twist on them…

The original prompt:

Summary

A full-body photo of a poorly preserved taxidermied red fox sitting awkwardly on a simple grey metal chair with horizontal slats. The fox has matted fur, mismatched glass eyes, an expressionless or confused face, and a slightly slouched posture. Its legs dangle limply, and its front paws rest unnaturally on its lap. The lighting is flat and even, with a plain off-white wall in the background. The image has a photorealistic but eerie, almost viral meme aesthetic, evoking an uncanny and awkward atmosphere. Focus on grotesque realism, emphasizing imperfection in the taxidermy.

Cyborg cats.

Hope they’re waterproof.

An AI group had the challenge “functional clothing”. I’m pretty surprised that Copilot made a decent water sombrero on the first try. I anticipated it being a struggle to get the “straw” positioned plausibly.

How long does it usually take ChatGPT to generate an image? I’m sitting here staring at a spinning circle.

I haven’t managed to get ChatGPT to produce an image for a couple of weeks now. Eternal spinning circle. Doesn’t work in the browser or app. I don’t know why. I use only Microsoft Copilot and Sora now.

Sometimes if i refresh the page, it’ll actually generate.

I see this on my desktop, you know a refresh is working when there is a slightly darker frame and the waiting circle goes to the lower right corner of the frame. I did it with the Red Fox prompt from Darren_Garrison and got the waiting circle and after a refresh, it did continue. I got almost the exact non human fox that he did.

Almost the same chair, just the fox a little bit smaller compared to the chair.
