The past week was a busy one for image generation. Much of my effort fell within some fairly well defined scenarios, which are represented in galleries below: Tranche 2: Tranche 3: Tranche 4: Tranche...
Thoughts about the creative potential of deep neural networks
The past week was a busy one for image generation. Much of my effort fell within some fairly well defined scenarios, which are represented in galleries below: Tranche 2: Tranche 3: Tranche 4: Tranche...
I gave MJ V5.1 this prompt: “A tsunami of input overwhelms a neural network –style raw” There are no style or formatting instructions beyond “raw”, which I find necessary for V5.1. My aim was...
As well as the deep exploration of the Enchanted Forest (previously posted), I also generated more images across a range of subjects and with varying look and feel. One of them shows MJ’s rather...
My typical MO for image generations is to do a few that are based on some situation and then move on to a new one. Recently however, my prompts landed me in an enchanted...
The big news this week is Midjourney has migrated to Version 5.1, so I made some images to try it out. V5.1 creates more detailed images, but its native mode is “opinionated”, which basically...
In spite of residual covid ennui and returning to my teaching schedule, I have made time over the past week to explore some new directions. Here are three collections drawn from those generations. The...
I was out with covid for several days, but over last night and this morning I managed to create some new generations around the concepts of psychology and physics. The first collection focuses on...
Here is a sampling of some of my favorite MJ generations from the past few days. I created a series of characters conceived as fermions and bosons who are dressed for the midsummer ball:...
As in my post “Problem with dissimilar actors”, I am basically unable to place discretely dissimilar actors into the same scene. Given that fact, I am concentrating on what I can do—and to that...
As discussed in my blog “Creating AI self-portraits”, a generative neural network can be usefully visualized as a flow of connections cascading through layers of neurons. Below are some such visualizations to give a...
