Art & Inspiration Zeltango

...Create an image the year of 1957. A flamed 1940 Ford Hotrod idling on a country lane with pumpkins along the cedar fence lining the lane and a full moon and a black cat...

The last image I used 1934 Ford not 1940...

You can't stop technology and greed we all must adjust to it...I'm an Artist...I've said it a lot almost ad nauseum in this Thread but these programs are every where...I haven't made much on Graphic Art ever but I've watched Printhouses that I use basically take everything and bring it in-house...business cards, canvas stretched on board, posters, signs, stickers...whats left for me...I still upload my work but this new AI image generation is quite the thing...

 

Give your soul to Zoltar and he will make you a Master of AI.

 

During those days in the 90’s, I was a tig welder pulse welding the seams for chopped doors for car carrier semi truck doors.
Volvo/GM decided to invest in robotics to alieviated the labor involved in repetitive welding and material handling.
I couldn’t wait to get involved. Many co/workers and our union voiced issues with losing jobs and such.
It turned out these things did nothing but replace the jobs that no one like to do manually anyway.
They were still chopping and tig welding by hand when I left that company 15 yrs later.
Changes? Surely. My daughter is a graphic designer. I’m sure this will affect her work.
I can just imagine what effect artistic humans with technological minds will have on this AI.
“Singularity”?
I highly doubt it.

 

You managed this in 45 seconds ? Dayyum ?

 

Thats all it took...Nice 40 Ford Coupes eh!!...but I give it a pass...yes I'm impressed...its not perfect...

I makes you feel good that you know better that it's not a 40...

 

Hey, did you do that?

 

Nah, copy and paste from the anime "War of the Planets". That's about the extent of my technological development. And I had to learn that from @Moriarity .

 

It's the little details, in Rockwell's work, that really standout to my eye, the emotion and expressions in the faces of the people, even the dogs expression, looking at the boat on top of the car, the way the name of the boat is spelled correctly but upside down and backwards, as it should be, the way the line is lashed around the boat to make it secure, the definition that separates the oars from the boat, the difference in the size of the bubblegum bubble from the top picture to the bottom picture, the way the fishing pole is sticking out of the window, etc, etc, etc,

Indeed, "AI" has a very long way to go, to even come close, if ever, to the way a human can render such elements as true emotion, but that is just my opinion.

All of that being said, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley created interesting, literary futuristic road map's of sorts, for our collective minds, to explore !
YMMV ! IMHO !

 

...The Last image has the info that generated these 4 images in 45 seconds...

The top two are just enlargements...kinda cool...

As @Speedy Canuck said Ole AI has to become a member to learn whats what thats for sure...

Stogy,
Where’s Kate at the stern?

 

Good one Pete...pretty wild toy...the possibilities are pretty overwhelming...

 

I wonder if all the images we generate here end up in the hyperbowl? I suspect yes...

 

...A couple for our friends downunder...

Not much of a 50 Hudson...but kinda neat any way...HEY ROO!!!...get outta da car eh!

About 1min...to generate with text above in third image...

On a more realistic level from my experience. I am part of a trucking operation doing logistics. A couple of our oilfield customers are using AI to generate Purchase Orders. What we get is a unique series of numbers but to the human brain and voice it makes for hard to read PO's. It is supposed to eliminate one step but it seems like there are just as many emails making sure the data and orders are correct as before when we did it over the phone.

 

Tman, I'm probably am spilling a corporate secret, but when the Co. needed unique IDs for stuff, they realized that YY/MM/DD/24hr time to seconds plus a manufacturer code at creation was stout enough that the small group working would never create the same ID for more than one object, especially when there was checksum, and would allow easy tracking. Not great for scaling to a nationwide size, but you could include a location and user code to generate a unique number with 2-4 more digits. Computers like strings of numbers. Humans, once they understood the way the number was created, verified a few times then accepted it and were able to drill down to useful info when needed.
Kind of like Ford using C4 to denote 1964 and Mopar using the Julian calendar in the castings.
