In which I am playing with AI imagery
Written By David Edelstein
The hysteria and dogmatism on both sides of the AI imagery debate is boring to me. I don’t care. It’s not photography (or painting or illustration or what have you). I like playing with it. That’s it. It’s like the ranting that greeted digital photography. Who cares? Use it or don’t.
This is a loose edit of about a week’s playing with the idea of 1950’s science fiction film stills. Enjoy. Or don’t.
Oh yes – here’s a sample prompt:
Film still from 1950s science fiction movie, Afrofuturism style, surrealism, horror noir. Black and white, photorealistic, cinematic, chiaroscuro, shallow depth of field, 4x5, Graflex, Linhof, tri-x --ar 3:2 --chaos 100
