So SO Close!

I found that if I don't use the pre-written prompt, I can come up with much better results from the Microsoft Image Creator...

While still not perfect (I can't get it to do just a goatee), and the turntable is backward, I do like the overall result. This is the best out of about a dozen or so that I ran.

I Present to You

Mistress Willhelmina Lee von Fuckstick, the dishonorable Governor of Tennessee:

Damn, she's an ugly bitch.

I am becoming more convinced than ever that AI sees our true essence, because nowhere did I use the word "clown" in generating these images.

I simply instructed Lisa, "Tennessee Governnor Bill Lee in Drag."

Playing with AI

I have to start off by saying I find AI generated art…disturbing…and yet fascinating.

I started playing with LISA AI last night. At the time I only had a few photos of myself on my phone and the results were… disappointing.

I mean, this guy is hot. As the kids say, "I'd hit it." But accurate based on the photos I put into the system? Not even close. Even though the photos I used were current, apparently the AI thought I was in my 20s (bless it's digitized heart). I mean, I wish I looked this good when I was in my 20s. How, exactly, the AI came up with these based on the photos I put in is a mystery. I do, however, love the blue/purple hair. I'd do that now if I still had any hair to do it with.

This is probably the one that looks most like me of the 50 it generated.

So this morning I decided to explore further. I copied a bunch of other photos onto my phone and uploaded them. I also discovered I could select different styles, and I have to say, me likey. This particular style was called "oil painting:"

"Pixar"

And of course, the obligatory "Astronaut:"

"The Future"

When I was a kid in the 60s I would've believed it wholeheartedly.

5 decades later, older and infinitely more jaded, all I can say is, "Not in this timeline."

AI Variations on a Theme

I don't think we need to worry about robot overlords just yet, but I may have to revise that assessment in a decade or so.

I uploaded this photo of Myrtle Snow (played by the fabulous Frances Conroy) from AHS: Coven into the DALL・E 2 AI System website and asked it to generate variations.

These are what it came up with:

And here's my default wallpaper image:

And the variations DALL・E 2 came up with:

You can also type in descriptions of what you'd like to see and it will generate an image.

It's fun. It requires registration, but it's totally free to use.
