AI generated art

Trying some fuller descriptions. Looks like the AI has trouble with saxopohones as well as hands

I think this is where you find out the emperor has no clothes.

I’ve been trying to create some action scenes. I tried something like a scene from Pacific Rim with a battle between a giant monster and robot but failed utterly. It seems that Muzzy AI Gen is pretty much incapable of doing anything other than have a subject just stand there, which is pretty disappointing and extremely limiting.

Came across this radio program collection and realized the art was AI generated (cops with womanly faces and dames with manly faces were the tip offs)
some of them are rather nice compositions

I've been looking into alternatives beyond Muzzy AI that might bring more flexibility but there's a problem. It's always been my policy never to use a website that demands I register with it. That's a red line I'm not prepared to cross. I think it should be my choice and mine alone whether I wish to register or not because I see no reason why any of those making it mandatory need access to any of my personal information. If they wish to make money from my personal information (because that's what most of them do), they can pay me to register, if not, they can forget it.

It appears that most AI sites demand registration and that's not going to happen so it looks like my exploration into AI is coming to an end.

I'm not keen on sites that demand registration but that seems a little harsh when they're providing a free service that you wish to use. They are already paying you in the form of the service they are providing to you for no charge. It's obviously your choice whether that is sufficient recompense for for their getting a small amount of your data. I have a similar issue with people who grumble about adverts on YouTube etc. Yes, I find them annoying but if I choose to watch the content provided by the contributors then surely the least I can do is support them with the few meagre pennies they are given by the advertisers.

Despite you saying not AI I have to say that the vehicle looks like a typical AI c*ck up.

Watching a few adverts is simply not the same as giving away your personal information. That is far too high a price to pay, and who knows who they are selling that information on to? Of course, there is a law that supposedly prevents this, but all the company needs to do (if challenged) is provide lawful basis and if they can then do this they are able sell the information on without the owner's consent.

P.S. it's not a free service if you are having to pay in the currency of your own personal details.

Do you have a link? I'm not convinced that is real. The car is a botch job (as noted by @Astro Pen) with two fronts, but also, the traffic lights are all lit (pale orange), and the wire that is meant to attach to the RHS of the second cross-bar down doesn't.

Also, I have all his books and I don't recognise it.

Actually, no. It very well could be a fake. I simply googled his name and picked an image. If it is AI then it is surprisingly detailed and complex.

Another reason I like the Muzzy site. No personal information. No money. Only banner ads. The fee is to not have ad blocker on. The site appears to use Google Adsense which of course derives its data from THE GOOGLE. Any more discussion on THAT subject should be redirected to the conspiracy room.

I use a browser that I don't normally use (actually chrome) to access Muzzy. The rest of the time I use Duckduckgo browser which has an excellent built-in ad blocker. I watch Youtube videos without ads using duckduckgo native browser.

I have looked at several Text-to-Image sites and had the same experience. If you are familiar with basic programming you can set up your own Text-to-image generator on the Perchance site. They are a huge AI (stable diffusion) community with T2I generators, chatbot generators, online RPG AI and much more. Some of the t2i generators have a button where you can then "chat" with the image you've created.

It is all over my head. There are several generators on Perchance that use the same format. I picked that one to link to since it seemed to be rarely used. Many have been taken over by teenagers. And nobody wants to see what they are chatting about.

I'd be thrilled to find out that someone from this SFFChron understands computer basics, prepared a better generator on the Perchance site and shared it with SFFChron.

I looked at them as well but most appear to be tailored to do only specific things (eg anime or cute furry animals). I tried the superhero simulator but could only see a video of the Marvel title sequence to click on and nothing else that seemed to work. Others, as you say, seem to have been taken over and I think you've chosen the best and safest of the lot.

I am quite happy to put up with the ads rather than having to register and I think that's a good model. It's just a shame Muzzy AI Gen is not a bit more flexible. I think it's very good at static imagery (and I think excels when it comes to things cosmolgical). I just wish you could make the characters generated a bit more dynamic.

This is the kind of thing I think it does best

That seems to be the case. It actually be much more dynamic if you are creating anime.

Here is another Perchance generator -- I don't understand it, but it does seem to offer a lot more nuance.

I've noticed that but I don't know why. When I create an anime image there is certainly a much greater impression of movement. When you look at the other generators, quite a few of them deal with anime and I wonder if the AI was initially created for anime and everything else is just a branch from that.

Before there was AI there was photoshop. This is a photo from Vanity Fair that made the rounds a few years ago. The photographer had photoshopped several photos to get the composition they were looking for. Apparently celebrities, just like my family, can't seem to all get the right expression at the exact same moment. In this case Oprah has three hands.

I'm getting a little closer using this one. It definitely prefers anime style for action.

At least I got some birds flying around and some rough sea.
