Back in the old days of OZZU we used to have photo and graphics competitions. Those have gone by the wayside, but with AI and the advent of Dall-E for photo and image rendering, I'm curious what you can come up with for photorealistic image generation. This is an example. I asked Microsoft's Copilot to generate a photorealistic image of a Tomahawk Steak with a compound butter melting over it and sitting on a mashed potato puree and basil pesto, and this is what it came up with. Show me what you can do with AI.

    Looks pretty good! The utensil is a little funny looking, at first I thought it was a knife, but then maybe its a fork? — Brian Wozeniak

    Yeah, AI goofs up like that sometimes — Mark Bowker

Here is the one I came up with:

An amazing space scene with a nebula off in the distance

My prompt was:

Create an amazing space scene with the majority of the scene showing small stars off in the distance and looking towards a nebula that consists of multiple colors. On the right side show a planet that we are overlooking to see the space scene.

    Very nice. This is important to note that when generating AI images, "what you say" is "what you get". You really have to specify things to generate the image you want. — Mark Bowker

So I asked Copilot to give me an Image of the Horse Nebula with Zeus riding on it. It told me "Here you go! A cosmic scene featuring the Horsehead Nebula with Zeus in all his glory. Enjoy the view!" The image it gave me was

Horse Nebula

Then I said: "I don't see Zeus in that image. Can you add him?" Then AI told me "Looks like I might have gotten carried away with the cosmic vibes. Here's another try with Zeus right where he belongs." Then it gave me this.

    Even though it will often get it wrong without more fine tuning, pretty amazing really for what you got with both images. Really cool looking! — Brian Wozeniak

On a more humorous note, this is a cartoon I asked AI to make. Text is my own. Global warming

    Not bad, looks like you can create a series of cartoons for your column now! — Brian Wozeniak

In order to reply with a picture, I couldn't add a photo in reply to your comment, but I actually have a couple already.car warranty

    Pretty much anybody can be a cartoonist these days as long as you have some jokes! — Brian Wozeniak

    See something like this to draw up I think would take many hours normally. Look at all of the detail that goes into it. AI probably isn't so great for many of the true artists out there, I would be worried if I were them as this technology is only going to improve and its already pretty good. — Brian Wozeniak

Last night while I was in a state where I was halfway between that "still asleep" and "waking up" state, a cartoon strip concept came to me, and I had to attempt it this morning. The girl is named Jean, the boy is Rod, and the Dog is Barry. Hence, Jean, Rod 'n' Barry. (Yes, it's a total play on the famous Gene Roddenberry). And yes, they will be space explorers. Now, I just need to figure out how to get AI to reuse the characters in different scenes.

    Looks great, and yeah there really needs to be a way to re-utilize something you create in different scenes instead of it creating something slightly different as that would just be weird then. — Brian Wozeniak

    Copilot told me it can't remember characters it creates, so I'm still working on a solution (and a story line) — Mark Bowker

While on Copilot, I did ask AI to redo my initial image and make it look more like a real Tomahawk steak. This looks much more realistic, and I will add, perfectly cooked.
