I didn't plan to continue making more AI images because I thought my collection (9,000+ images) was too large, but I decided to make some more.
These are the first of another batch of images I will be going through and uploading soon.
See my albums list for some of my best work: www.flickr.com/photos/200044612@N04/albums/
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.

Silent Geometry in the Rain: Crop Circles Across the English Countryside
Description
A cinematic visual journey through misty rural farmland, where vast wheat and barley fields are marked by mysterious crop circles, labyrinthine formations, flattened grain pathways, and intricate geometric symbols. Under heavy grey skies, the landscape feels wet, quiet, and atmospheric: muddy tracks cut through hedgerows, old wooden gates open toward rolling hills, and distant barns sit beside golden fields shaped by strange circular patterns.
The collection moves between wide aerial views and intimate ground-level details, revealing both the monumental scale of the formations and the fragile texture of crushed stalks, damp soil, rain droplets, woven straw, and weathered agricultural land. The mood is documentary, rural, mysterious, and slightly surreal, blending British countryside realism with the timeless fascination of unexplained field markings, sacred geometry, folklore, and earthbound symbolism.
These images were generated by Artificial Intelligence.

The term "collective memory" denotes the aggregate of memories, knowledge, and data that a social group holds, which is intrinsically linked to the group's identity. The term "collective memory" in English and its French counterpart "la mémoire collective" emerged in the latter half of the 19th century. Maurice Halbwachs, a philosopher and sociologist, further developed this concept in his 1925 work, «Les cadres sociaux de la mémoire». Both expansive and intimate social collectives can create, disseminate, and inherit collective memory.
Contrary to the term "collective memory," which is somewhat ambiguously defined yet generally accepted, the notion of "collective memories" is inherently problematic. Memories are the results of the individual acts of recollection, making the idea of "collective memories" paradoxical. Сontemporary diffusion models utilize vast amounts of often unidentified data, including historical and personal old photographs, vintage postcards, and other kinds of publicly circulating images. These models may be seen as involved in the prompts-driven singular acts of remembrance, producing images that paradoxically represent "collective memories," something otherwise unfeasible and ultimately, non-existent.
