Windmills 021423

I decided to do a series of windmill generations with this prompt: “a burning windmill on a riverbank, surrounded by supplicating zephyrs, under a starry sky”. The results are below.

The supplicating zephyrs appear nowhere. Perhaps not unsurprisingly, such phenomena are apparently not represented in training data. I tried anyway, because sometime such abstractions yield interesting results.

It is notable, however, that only one generation shows the windmill as burning, when the concept of burning must appear often in training. I have noticed other failures to include fire or burning, which makes me wonder if there is some kind of nanny watching out for pyros.

I really like the Impressionist look of the first group, with a kind of dreamscape feel to them. The windmills have become almost unrecognizable in the second set, however.
