AI
There have recently been an number of AI projects especially in the space of image generation that have absolutely amazed me. Here are a few outcomes of my interactions with these new systems. Remember that all these images have been created by Artificial Intelligence, the 'only' input was the prompt.
"A programmer trying to build a website in his hut in the jungle, struggling with the purpose of life, glancing into the distance."
Remarks: This was my first ever AI generated image - funnily enough, there are some resemblances with myself... should I be scared, Dall-E?
Generator: DALL·E 2 (OpenAI)
"A colorful frog on a leaf, looking curiously at the camera, dense jungle in the background"
Remarks: I just love frogs, and this one is just amazing. Getting lost in its eyes that resemble galaxies...
