Playing around with Microsoft Image Creator, I put in the titles of some of my favourite blogs along with a simple further instruction. Take the image above for example - here I added "in the style of Grant Wood". Can you tell which blog it represents? Answers at the bottom of this post.
Which blogs were they?
(a) "Bless Our Hearts" (b)"Hiawatha House" (c) "From My Mental Library"
(d) "Oddball Observations" (e) "Going Gently" (f) "I Should Be Laughing"
I often use "in the style of Grant Wood" because I like that style but it has problems with fingers. It has made me ponder if Grant would was a bit ambiguous when it came to number of fingers.
ReplyDeleteYes I have seen that too.
DeleteThe AI has multiple issues with arms, hands and fingers in all kinds of styles - not least when making someone hold something. And it struggles with legs and feet and sitting positions as well, sometimes...
DeleteThese are fascinating! I read a couple of these blogs and still didn't guess them.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to keep adjusting your instructions to Microsoft Image Creator.
Deletei wonder what it would create if you first used chatGPT to summarise the blog?
ReplyDeleteI like all the images, especially the first, except for the creepy eyes
I have not asked ChatGPT to summarise a particular blog. I might try that.
DeleteI was a bit afraid to open this.
ReplyDeleteI could have perhaps connected the last one. The last two are the only blogs we have in common.
You should dip into "Bless Our Hearts" - so well written.
DeleteFun post but I didn't get Hiawatha House!
ReplyDeleteThat is your blog Red and Maud Lewis had a very colourful style.
DeleteI guessed (a) and (c) but that's all. I don't think (b), (d), and (e) make sense.
ReplyDeleteIt is dangerous to question Artificial Intelligence Ellen.
DeleteFor some odd reason I'm attracted to that last one ....
ReplyDeleteThe odd reason is probably vanity.
DeleteTruth!
DeleteI wouldn't have known which blogs they represented at all. I do like that colourful house, it looks like it is made of licorice allsorts.
ReplyDeleteMaud Lewis was a very interesting naive artist.
DeleteOf course I guessed that the picture with the book shelves was supposed to represent my blog - funny! Try Librarian With Secrets and see what the AI comes up with then.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it‘s Frida Kahlo, not Karlo.
Thanks for the correction. It's nice when friends can correct each other without any sense of point scoring. I hope you didn't mind "in the style of Beryl Cook". That lady in the picture could be you if you eat at "Oliver's Pantry" every day for a year.
DeleteWould mine be Hogarth's Gin Lane?
ReplyDeleteI looked at yours in the style of L.S.Lowry.
DeleteInteresting results, but I don't think I would have recognised any of the blogs from the interpretations.
ReplyDeleteAy-aye, the connections are not always obvious.
DeleteHow fun,
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to play around with Microsoft Image Creator. Try it at work Mr Penguin.
DeleteThis is crazy! I am not sure AI grasps the subtle nuances of the phrase "Bless Our Hearts."
ReplyDeleteAre there subtle nuances? Two people praying in a field seemed to sum up "Bless Our Hearts" perfectly - thanks to virtual Grant Wood.
DeleteThe only one of these I feel at all qualified to comment on is "in the style of Maude Lewis" as she was a Nova Scotian artist and I grew up knowing her works. And based on that I have to say that the representation here did not capture her style at all. It was an interesting experiment, though, and shows the sometimes vast limitations of AI.
ReplyDeleteOops, misspelled Maud ... which shows the limitations of my proofreading too :)
ReplyDeleteImage Creator still has trouble with hands, I see. I like the one for "Hiawatha House" though I had no idea who Maude Lewis is/was.
