This was just the first attempt. I can see how this sort of thing could be used in a music video for youtube.
THe blue strat was just an accident...lol

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig? “Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
while we're on this topic.. I went to CHATGPT today and made a query asking for song lyrics consisting of two verses and a chorus on a particular topic, including a phrase I thought was interesting enough to be hooky. I was impressed by the results. For my use, it didn't flow the way I wanted, but a few tweaks here and there made 90% of it work. I'll be doing that again.
I was amused by the disclaimer at the end criticizing me for my choice in hooky phrases. Considering that the AIs database is derived from social media, its learned world view is pretty "woke". My name is probably on a list now so that I can be retroactively prosecuted years from now when one of the words in my request is deemed to be unacceptable and illegal.
Thanks, Steve. I had little to do with it. If I had to survive on paintings I could not afford to live under a bridge...lol Certainly not in my set of skills.
Looking around on the internet for photos/illustrations I found all that stuff to be very expensive and many legal issues concerning copyright.
To be able to produce usable images for little or nothing in seconds is a big deal to me.
I have messed around with Blender a bit to produce images but that is a very large learning curve. How much time, money and effort does a person want to expend to get visually interesting images to post a song on BIAB? Some people go to a lot of work to do that here. I enjoy looking at their youtube videos. I have a lot of responsibilities and not enough time.

That is hilarious stuff, Mr. Marr! The idea that an AI would take you to task over such a subjective subject and has obviously acquired a certain bias is beyond the pale...lol Having never been nominated for the politically correct poster boy award, I assume I may be on more than one list...lol

I was going to try it but they don't allow virtual phone numbers to validate and I don't ever sign up for things with my real information. I have a list of fake names, addresses, and virtual phone numbers for stuff like that. Every place your name and info are on the web, you are one breach away from having your identity stolen. Too bad they are like that because I'd love to try it.
regarding your original post about AI generated art: I went down that rabbit hole a few months ago on my son's recommendation. He showed me some art that looked comparable to anything a talented commercial artist might create. Although my queries yielded some interesting graphics, they were NOTHING like the images I had seen as examples.
Apparently the trick is in being very specific in your request. Looking back, I have to think the query that yielded such an amazing result might have included the condition "in the style of .. (insert artists name here)"
Its all very interesting though. We haven't seen the end of this yet.
Mark's idea of what I looked like in surgery this morning...lol Ai generated, I assume.

It is good we can laugh about all this Steve. There are generally very few problems with eye surgery but...one never knows. I hope we get to meet in person in NC.
