AI Image Generators

At first we were going to put some AI images, that we generated on various online generators, on a separate blog. However, after a quick Google search the AI indicated that X.com is a popular platform for sharing those images. So, we figured why fool with another blog, easier just to upload to X.

However decided to make a related post here on our main blog. With a few thoughts and examples.

DeepAI.org allows generation of two hundred free images before you need to sign up for an account. Their image generator can generate near photorealistic images and has options for size/dimensions and many different filters that can be applied to drastically change the styles of the image output.

MagicStudio.com was free, with no account, until just a couple weeks ago, but now they allow twenty images before you have to create an account.

Although, not quite as photorealistic as the generator at deepai.org, more like painted art, but some things like flowers do look pretty close.

Some images seem a bit more fantasy world (and often a bit more colorful), such as castles, forests and island scenics, especially night scenes (and not quite as granular).

However, things like vehicles can seem a little outdated (think pre 1990s), but overall I think it generates some pretty nice images, reasonably fast. — some of the images generated there do look nice on my four year old Android phone — and my older Windows 10 laptop

Do not remember where we generated these, a few weeks ago (think the site was café something, or something café), but I think they turned out pretty nice.

We are not so big on the whole “AI will improve the world” thing, actually quite skeptical. However, not being artists, we do like the AI image generators. Although true, some real artist would hate them, and we can understand that. As well as the fact that they can be used maliciously to create fake images of real people.

But, from a computer hobbiest viewpoint, we think it is quite amazing (and amusing) how the AI can create the kinds of images that it does, so quickly, with such amazing detail.

Some might say to us, “Well, you musician types will be replaced by AI.” Our opinion; “Okay.” — our music is just a hobby

What fascinates me is how you can type in a few words at the prompt and the AI not only generates what you entered, but can be quite elaborate at the rest of the image, often with very meticulous detail, that you never specified.

Yeah, we know it learns from all sorts of imagery that it finds on the internet, but still ….
