For all of you that actually read the profile --

 

QUESTION: Am I turning into a One-trick pony? I know that there are photostreams on Flickr that have hundreds of images of the same theme, just variations of that initial thought, just a minor vantage point or tweak. I know that I've been doing the WABAC quite a bit as well as the Lady Victoria and Betty Lou images. I try to throw a little history in the description trying to be educational.

 

Is there enough variety in the images that I post? I come up with ideas quicker than I can post them. I know I'll reach my free quota before the end of the year.

 

I'd appreciate comments or send me an email expressing your thoughts. I will take your feedback under consideration for future postings.

Well, somehow this account reached 1 million views. Not bad considering I have dabbled in the AI image creation since June 2023.

 

What started out as a site for music and fashion, turned into creating vignettes for two AI created ladies, Betty Lou (a 1950s teenager) and Lady Victoria (a woman from the 1930s). This started out as individuals, but the software got better and now can have them together (I know they live in different decades, but that's the fun of AI creation). Occasionally get lucky and an image is viewed and faved by lots of people. Just want to show that AI can create more than naked women or people having sex.

 

Lots more images to be posted, so keep visiting.

Okay, I lied. I realized that I have/had a limited wardrobe and that I would run out of song title/lyrics (mid 1950s to mid 1970s) sooner or later. I've added a couple more categories: Fantastic in Fur, Lovely Ladies, Sci-Fi Stuff and Hodge Podge (doesn't fit into any other category).

 

Also started experiments with several other AI image generators. I'll see what kind of results I'll get in the coming weeks.

 

Original about

I've been experimenting with AI generated art for the past few months. I'm using a couple of different applications and learning what works and what doesn't. Since this is new technology, there are still a few bugs in the system. Take it from someone who has been working with computers and software for 50+ years (OOPS! just gave away my age).

 

The AI is still learning, hands and faces occasionally don't look quite right. There is also some terms that violate the content policy on these applications. For example; attempting to include a "shag" haircut (popular in the 70s) gets blocked. I know why. Across the pond there is a sexual connotation to the term. I can see those responsible for the software don't want pornography being produced.

 

For right now there will be two main focuses on the art created, Song titles/lyrics and recreation of different outfits I have worn.

 

SONG TITLES / LYRICS - I just type the title into the text prompt box and stand back. Some of the creations have been very interesting, giving me something not expected. I'm going to try to stay away from the "simple" titles like Green River, Dust in the Wind and Tutti Frutti (Yes, I like Little Richard).

 

OUTFIT RECREATION - I have thousands of pictures of me in different outfits, so ideas should be no problem. The challenge is going to be recreating the outfit / look without using a starting image. I describe the clothes and hair style as best I can. Most of the time the output is close. Don't expect many lingerie creations, fishnet stockings, babydoll, and the like seem to get blocked.

 

Enjoy!

  

NOTE: Don't be upset if I don't follow you. I have multiple accounts on Flickr. This one is for AI images and my other one is about me. I may be already following you using that account. That account is at -- www.flickr.com/photos/136146215@N04/
