  • Neural Network Nirvana

    Prompt: A vibrant visualization of a neural network, featuring glowing nodes and connections in a psychedelic pattern

    Engine: Microsoft

    Interesting way to view a neural network, but I suppose it doesn’t bother me too much. A rather bland view on “vibrant” and psychedelic, but I suppose it’ll do. As I keep generating these, it seems like there’s something quite similar about all these ai images. Not sure if ai is really all it’s cracked up to be sometimes?

  • AI-Generated Portraits

    Prompt: A fascinating series of portraits featuring diverse individuals, each with unique facial features and expressions.

    Engine: Microsoft

    I have this feeling that at its core, nearly all AI engines have only a few “faces” that it can spit out with various facial expressions or facial hair. If you look at these close enough, there is something unsettlingly similar about all of them. They’re real looking, but there’s still something just a bit off.

    If you look at a collection of portraits, you’ll see a much better diversity of human appearance without that unsettling undertone. Is AI really all that it’s hyped to be?

  • Quantum Waves

    Prompt: A visualization of quantum waves, depicting vibrant, swirling patterns of light and energy that evoke the mysteries of the subatomic realm.

    This gets a bit trippy for me, perhaps this is the hallucination of an AI that isn’t quite sure what to make of this kind of prompt. Not sure how any of this is supposed to look subatomic, or any bit of quantum waves. With my collegiate chemistry background, maybe I’m a bit biased and disappointed as my own view of the subatomic is a bit less hallucinogenic. I find more comfort in explanations and graphics like the CERN does with their Higgs Boson page.
