This is a sample of the sort of thing that is being created by AI on a site called Midjourney. All the user does is type in some prompts and in moments a set if images are "created" by the AI. Those images in some cases can be amplified with variations and greater detail.
This is not my work, this is a sample I found while producing some logos.
These are the prompts that were used.
This is the images the AI created in response to those promots. Bear in mind, I tried to create an image of Joe Biden as a baby in a red diaper and was denied and warned by the mods.
Was that your intention?
I don’t think he realized that you have to log in. The photos are shown above.
Mid journey is an interesting tool.
Senatus Romanus is superb.
The AI apparently doesn’t understand what “on his knees” means.
Try biden prompts in craiyon.com
I woudl also ask midjourney why it’s alright to create something that is unflattering to Trump but not ok to do the same for biden?
I’m getting a login page at:

I’m getting a login page there, too. No further...
I have some python code that ties together ChatGPT (via their python API), speech recognition, and text-to-speech libraries.
It’s similar to something like JARVIS in Iron Man. I can have a conversation with it where it remembers the context as you continue to discuss. Now I’m trying to ‘fine tune’ the language model to something application specific and have it execute functions based on commands (which are application specific). This is really quite wild.
What is funny is that you can have ChatGPT respond ‘in the style’ of somebody. So I told it to respond in the style of Donald Trump, then asked what it thinks of Hillary Clinton. It produced a wonderfully accurate Trump narrative of ‘crooked Hillary’. lol.
I was the guy in the office that was always neck deep in the new tech stuff.
When I became a professional photographer (a 180 turn from what I was) I loved all the new stuff. In my last big job a few years ago, I was shooting images, pushing a button on my camera and it uploading the image directly to the twitter feed of the client.
My peers looked at me as if I was Harry Potter!
I see AI as an interesting thing. All this talk about limiting it is amusing. That horse is out of the barn and a mile down the road.
The photographer in me looks at this stuff and cringes. My wife is a writer and she is starting to bump up against AI applications, but it’s a race to her retirement.
I wish I could live another 50 years to see how this turns out.
Wow. You are Tony Stark! What’s Pepper like? LOL.
you can’t go any further? Or don’t want to sign up? I couldn’t sign up to midjourney because of their sign up process requiring a cellphone- which i don’t have- so i went with leonardo-
My old FlipPhone doesn’t take texts, either, so I couldn’t sign-up.
Very good programming.
I tend to look behind the wizard's curtain, which peeves a whole lots of wizards. He and I would chitter-chat about the marketing of AI, and we agreed then that it was being "sold" as more than it currently is. The whole Turing test and Chinese Room measures don't function very well since so many people are easily fooled, and other seem to actually want to be fooled.
But the new graphics manipulation is quite something, and sound manipulation coming in a close second. It suggests "you can't believe you eyes" will be a literal statement. Old matte painting backdrops replaced by CGI and green screen placement and such isn't so much proof of "artificial intelligence." But it surely is "very good programming."
Ah- i have a phone, but hardly ever use it- but it has a voip number (Free number basically)- and they don’t let folks sign up with ‘disposable numbers’ like voip numbers- and there aint no way im gonna give them our home phone number just to sign up- -
Midjourney produces some very disturbing images.
“The photographer in me looks at this stuff and cringes.”
Sure, but on the other hand, it’s like the democratization of art. Lots of people have creative ideas in their head, but they don’t have the skills to actually make that idea visible to others. Now they just describe the idea to the AI, and with a little patience, they can get something that other people can appreciate.
Will that put artists/writers out of a job? Some, but not all of them. Most of the people that will use AI for that probably never would have had money to hire a professional artist or writer in the first place. They would have either done it themselves poorly, or not done it at all. And the AI is still too flawed to be usable for a lot of applications.
I’m not giving out my phone number, either.
