Nah. When AI-generated images start looking real enough to not have obvious visual issues, and Ai text is indiscernible from real text (it's already pretty much there) people will just take what they're seeing or reading at face value. Plus chat bots will be responding to the image in comment sections and to other bots in there saying how great and correct it is. And slowly but surely all the mistakes in the AI content will start poisoning people's perception. This year for the first time there were more bots than people on the internet, and AI-generated content has exploded beyond what we imagined ten years ago. It's a major shitshow, and it's gonna get far worse very soon. Soon we will be questioning every image, every video, every sound bite and every sentence, wondering if it's real or not.

But the legendary stories abound, * My lesson was ,, you catch more flies with honey other than vinegar. I am no longer married,,, but I did marry my dog,, and he turned out to be unfaithful just like Zeus. Did I learn anything?,no,, I am more stupid than the day I was born, Retractable education.

Would’ve been a nightmare trying to create those. Very hard to make them accurate without ‘cheating’ using photoshop to refine the results. Must’ve taken hundreds of tries. And specific prompting to try and get the features correct. An expert would have used a “checkpoint” designed specifically to do architecture. And also had a look around for old painters (Claude Lorraine) highly skilled in architectural paintings. To make them more beautiful, and less homogeneous.

These 7 images look the same, with the same drab look and style, because they were made in the same batch. They use the same model, basically the same prompt with only the name of the wonder changing. Sure, if you just write "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" in Midjourney and call it a day, you're going to get shit results. AI can make lots of things, it's just a tool. These aren't so much "AI made these" as "someone half-assed making these using AI". Since several of these images seem to be a mash of several of the wonders, I wonder if the prompt wasn't something like: "Hanging Gardens of Babylon, seven wonders," and writing that it's one of the seven wonders in the prompt is going to make the AI mash them all together.
@KasumiRINA
@KasumiRINA 2 ай бұрын
It depends on model they used. Style is really baked into whatever it was trained and tuned on. All generative AI does is process user's commands through a database (neural network) that was made by people usually with specific purpose (i.e. for realistic images, for anime art, for 3D)... Stable Diffusion specifically has thousands of models to choose from, many made by users and mixed and merged together.

Hughes refers to Dr. Stephanie Dalley who made the case for Hanging Gardens being at Nineveh. A documentary about her and her theory is available online or on DVD. I, too, am most fascinated with the Colossus. Enough is known about the statue's size and the materials of which it was made to know that it was impossible to have stood with legs apart. It would've collapsed under its own weight! A pose similar to that of The Statue of Liberty is more likely. I've been to the harbor at Rhodes and agree with Hughes that it more likely the Colossus stood in the upper town, a high point where the ancient acropolis was. Visit there if you go

How do you burn down a stone temple? I’m glad to see someone questioning AI thanks for sharing this.

There would have been a lot of wood in it -the beams and architraves would have been wooden and the furnishings. The crystal palace in London also burnt down and it was made of glass -how can glass burn? Answer is in the furnishings and drapes. Also Alexander the Great burning down Persepolis.

We actually have relatively good descriptions of what the Lighthouse looked like, at least from the Islamic era. The bottom tier was square and it was the highest. The second tier was octagonal and it was the second-highest and the final tier was circular and it was the shortest. There also would have been a large ramp leading up to its monumental doorway. So that AI image really isn't very accurate.

I'm sure the AI would have done a much better job with more accurate prompts :)

17:41 Did you blur the statue? Really? A history channel covering art intentionally blurring an image that frankly KZbin is not going to catch (as if KZbin actually has a policy about ancient art.)

have seen it on several other channels too. most memorable was the _statue of David_ by Michelangelo being blurred by the Stephen Colbert show - however, they might have blurred it for their regular tv network channel and just uploaded the same version on YT

Have any thoughts on AI generations that use existing depictions of wonders and ControlNet to force most of the lines in the image to be the same? This has let me do things like take the etching on wikipedia of the lighthouse at alexandria and 'modernize' it without destroying too much information
