I really like this one. It's too bad this guy doesn't really exist, but I guess I have created him here.

See my main account for my photography, videos, fractal images and more here: www.flickr.com/photos/josh-rokman/

Made with Image Creator from Microsoft Designer, formerly known as the Bing Image Creator. Powered by DALL·E 3.

I think that AI image generation is similar in many ways to photography. The camera itself handles all the fine details, but the photographer is in charge of curating the types of images that will be created.

Ultimately, it is all about maximizing the probability that something good will be created.

This is very similar to AI image generation, in terms of the skills involved and what the human does vs. what the machine does.

You can't compare AI image generation to the process of actually making these images from scratch with 3D software or paint/pencils, where the human controls every detail.

However, I think the process really is very similar to that of photography, as I made the case for above. I think that DALL-E 3 is by far the most powerful AI image generation tool currently available.

It is almost Halloween, after all. I'd recommend skipping this home for trick-or-treating. The grim reaper is, of course, AI-generated. Everything else is the real deal, taken in North Bend, WA.
