AI Generated with my own touches (f, nudity)

[Pacific1982]

I’ve decided to hop onto the AI bandwagon. I’m using Imagelabs.net (thank you, Hand-Holder!). A lot of what it generates is not exactly what I want, but some of it is surprisingly good, considering I’m using the free version.

Attached here is an image it generated when I asked it to put a miniature 8-inch-tall woman in a jar on a desk. I wasn’t happy with the head and face on the woman, so I used Photoshop to swap it out for a better one which, I should add, was also generated by the same AI, only it wasn’t told to be an SW.

So basically, the end result here is an image consisting of a combination of AI, and my own finishing touches. I could have spent a bit more time on it tweaking it further, and maybe I will with future images.

I think the main time-saver is that it creates desired backgrounds much faster than I can do using my camera and searching for something to shoot to put behind/underneath an SW.

It's nice but your photo collaging usually looks so much more like you took an actual photograph of an actual SW.

Aw, thanks!

Have to agree with that sentiment. And this subject looks kind of "soulless" and typically AI created.

Might be useful for backgrounds though as you mention.

Great. Can you generate a girl wrapped in Skittles candy?

[Prof Sai]

Gaaaa!! AI is evil! EVIL! It's eyes are StEaLiNG mY SoUL l!!!!!

This?

[MaxSanhes]

Thank you but no. Like she uses plastic candy wrappers as a towel

[DocRick]

Can you generate a girl wrapped in Skittles candy?

This?

She has four hands and a weird cooch.

[DocRick]

Not AI, but how about this?

[Little Sally]

She has four hands and a weird cooch.

She has! I wonder if she looks the same on her other side when she rolls over?

[DocRick]

Maybe a "bug" got into the system and gave her six legs or two legs and four arms, like in the movie "The Fly".

Lol! Great movie.

One thing for sure, I wouldn't want to be putting anything precious near that weird "cooch" she has! (If I were a fella that is)

[Prof Sai]

I didn't want to say anything, but yes, with AI you need to inspect the results carefully and break out the image editor. You can let a few details slide, but that cooch is the focus of the whole image, so it needs to be right.

[MaxSanhes]

Almost. But you are on the right track. She needs to use a piece of plastic as a towel.

[Pacific1982]

I agree with all the criticism of the Skittles chick and her deformed cooch. It was just a quick one-off joke for the Skittles request post.

And here is another AI generated image, which I think turned out pretty well. She is not a tiny SW, but she is smaller than normal for the scale of the kitty. And I did not bother to add any of my own touches, other than remove the word “porn” from the image. Anyway, I think it’s a keeper.

Ta! The old ways are still formidable!

There's nothing wrong with the new ways, but Pacific1982 changing from his photoshop to AI, is like trading in a Lamborghini for a Tesla.

[Prof Sai]

More like a Lamborghini for a Forklift. They just do different things, and neither is really a substitute for the other.

I'm still not a fan. I know, your only using it as a tool. But when does that go from tool to entire project? When does it go from curious fun to crowding out personal creations? Why should someone bother to put effort into their art if people are going to accept what algorithms pump out with just a few inputted suggestions? Machines should be for making our lives easier so human's can create the art, this just seems to be the reverse.

I mostly agree. I’m just dabbling in it to see what the possibilities are. At its current power, it doesn’t even come close to giving me what I want exactly. No, for me it is not going to be used to create the entire project.

I have no intention of giving up Photoshop.

What you fear is something we have always had to deal with. You are describing what Hollywood and he mass media usually are. Films, TV shows, and music go through so much executive planning, and bureaucratic algorithms that all personal investment is lost and creators end up feeling and acting like machines.

Gutenberg's press put all the scribes and monks out of business. But people today still practice calligraphy simply because they love the art and want to see what they can do with it. No reasonable person oil paints to make a living. People do art because they love it.

The new AI tools might save Hollywood some money, but they aren't going to fundamentally change what they do. But those tools DO fundamentally change what personal creators can do. Tools like AI and the internet let people entertain each other without need for big corporations controlling the message and taking all the profit. That is the real reason so many fear it.

Nations that fear and outlaw AI are simply going to be left behind by those places that embrace it. This happened to the muslim world in the 14th century. They had the most advanced technologies and progressive societies. And then they just sort of... stopped. And the formerly stagnant west passed them by. The future is for those who embrace change.

I have no intention of giving up Photoshop.

You should. Adobe is evil. Try the Gimp, Pixelmator, or Affinity Photo.
