Ai did me wrong on that last one for sure…

I really like Mastodon, as it allows more than 280 characters to expand a thought on subjects of interest. This freedom has allowed me to post a brief experiment outside my personal blog, where I compare how the various AI platforms generate images from the same prompt i.e. A Western Front soldier with a peace dove.

The image below was generated using Stable Diffusion (SD). If I understand right, the algorithms trawled through Linkedin head shots to compose the face. I can forgive the six fingers.

See earlier posts using Lightricks and Midjourney to generate similar images.

There is a bit of whimsy in this version produced by SD in the dynamic shape of the dove, but it is not as powerful as the steel dove in the Lightricks version… my imagination decided that the rifle held by the soldier was crushed and forged into a peace dove. The Midjourney version is just pretty. A reminder that everything is political.

Then there is #architecture, #ai and design.

I was curious to see what Midjourney would generate when prompted to create a facade similar to the new Geelong Art centre in regional Victoria, designed by ARM Architects. Who knows, this real world design may have evolved using #AI? But then, design synthesis is complex and personal.

PS. I’m a little perturbed by the architectural references Midjourney used for the modern facade constructed of a “half drawn concrete curtain with rope sash and bauble”, and there is no one I can ask why.

Out of curiosity, following on from playing with Lightricks AI, I applied similar prompts using Midjourney. The outcome is a conventional interpretation of a soldier with peace dove. The opposing gazes provide some visual interest to the image. More prompt words needed :) #midjourney #AI #art #lightricks #videoleap #notestoself
