I was playing around with Bing this afternoon; that’s pretty cool technology! Had it generate a few covers based on classic series like Outrun, Sega GT, that sort of thing.
Figured I’d give a different prompt a try as well. So here’s “Retro-futuristic image of a white haired older man, dressed in a white 80’s suit and sunglasses. Stepping out of a futuristic, red Lamborghini Countach with white interior. Background is an 80’s Miami street with palm trees and art-deco buildings, sun-drenched, with neon lights on the buildings.”
That’s a vibe for sure.
It is interesting to think about generated images. It really is just seeing what it does with the words we put together, but each user comes away with a little bit different style from the choice of words, the ideas each of us are interested in, and which variant from the responses we choose.
So while you can’t take much ownership over the computational work that was done to make the image, I think you can take ownership of the style and thought that you put into it.
