The only thing I would like is to know real artist references for each piece. Like when you write a book, you always list all references.

By the way, "real" artists freely borrow subject matter, poses, techniques, lighting, layouts, etc. from each other all the time without crediting their inspiration unless it's a direct tribute, parody or criticism of another work. Taking a little bit of this, that and the other for an "original" work is how art is made.

I agree with this. I have long felt that everything “new” is always, in some way, adjacent to what already exists. Then making art feels much less intimidating. So I spend time exploring the area known as the possible adjacent.

Very trippy. I like these. And it's nice that they finally got text right.

Thanks! Getting the text right was one of the biggest challenges. Seems like it tends to hallucinate, messing up words and fonts. Lot’s of trial and error with the prompts to get the text right.

Did you find a way of prompting it that makes correct spelling of words more likely? Incorrect spelling is one of the biggest problems by far with DALLE-3

Just trial and error. I haven’t been able to come up with a consistent prompt to make it work every time.

Yep, I tried to create covers myself using my current art abilities, but they all came off as just too cartoonish. I liked playing with AI, and I thought "Why don't I just generate album covers with this instead?" And this is how I'm able to release music faster than if I had to create every album cover by hand.

No offense to the creators, but these all feel pretty cartoonish, too. I guess you can say “in the style of” to eliminate that. Please try that @audiogus… a synth player in the style of Rembrandt daydreaming about Andy Warhol.

I used to rep illustrators. They got doomed first by photography, then by the computer/ internet/photoshop/stock illustration catastrophe… This might seem like the last nail in the coffin.
I make my own album covers in ten minutes.

I still feel side for all the isinglass manufacturers (posthumously, of course).

Heh i was just taking the piss and reuploading the pics posted here and getting chat gpt to randomly roll variations. Wasnt even prompting. Oh i think i wrote donkey and muppet on a couple. But yah, you dont even have to prompt. Just upload a few images and say 'mix these together'.

Anywho, here is "a synth player in the style of Rembrandt daydreaming about Andy Warhol"

Is there a cost for this coolness?

Upgrade to ChatGPT 4 for 20$ and you get the latest DALLE

@AudioGus pls try eliminating Warhol and substitute da Vinci.

I listen and obey. Unlike a certain too good for us AI.

Also the forum desaturates my uploads from ipad, no idea why

No it is literaly desaturating them, they look fine on the openAI website and in my photos on the ipad but 'messed up' on the forum.

LinearLineman

@AudioGus thanks, mate. Those are great fun and not cartoony. Warhol was, indeed, the culprit.

That is strange. Do you think this site compresses images even more to reduce file sizes?

This is like when the Apple Mac first came out in 1984 and everyone went mad with silly fonts.

Impressive at first then it starts to look tacky.

I know there's interest for this thing here, but this hardware could very easily be replaced by an app. I find it ridiculous.

You have the wrong person my friend, I don’t have the intention to participate in your crusade against artists. 😇 I was genuinely interested in the few styles presented here. What's wrong with finding the origin of inspiration? I want to know those artists so I can follow and cherish their original work. You know, living people.

My problem with AI generative art is that in 99% cases it's too obvious it's AI generated ... like maybe 1% of it isn't totally obvious AI generated .. that 1% i am considering as true art ... rest is just.. well.. AI generated hallucinations ) often nice at first look, no doubt, but i do not see "human emotion" or "human added value" innit ..

It would be about a million names with variable weights.

Yeah, you are right. 🥺 Did you test DALLE with your photo and re-composition sketch?

I’m with you on this one. I just find that the design of this thing looks as if it has been done with (cheap) AI…

All I will say is Ideogram.ai

And thank me later

Yah, it is like sample library loops randomly piled on top of each other.

Marvel had a recent tv show, Secret Invasion, and the title sequence was AI generated, looked obviously AI, and was not good. But maybe they were trying to make a statement, who knows.

Really amazing quality of works here, but — to me, anyway — it’s all so aesthetically cornball.

Vice had a feature story on this phenomenon, and it's pretty interesting. (The problem, the article suggests, is that no art that is "commissioned" has ever been any good. Meaning, the problem isn't AI; it's us.)
Why Is AI Art So Cringe?

well, Marvel is entire topic on it's own, vast majority of their production after Avengers:Endgame is absolute disaster. I was huge fan of their movies for more than 10 years but where MCU turned after Endgame was for me epic fail

I know where all the bodies are buried. My point was that even in the 'real world' artists don't reveal all of the sources of their inspiration, nor could many of them even if asked. Their art is the culmination of a lifetime of experiences and exposure to other works of art.

I think they were attempting to make the intro look "alien" but it just looks dated now.
