2023 Combining AI

More AI messing about in DALL-E-2 and Chat GPT. This time the thought process started with ‘what is it like to be a marsh reed’. Previously my prompt gave me something quite unsatisfactory, this time I’ve used Chat GPT to write the prompts for Dall-E-2 removing myself even more from the process.

Test no.1

Write me a Dall-e-2 prompt that would create an abstract image depicting what it feels like to be a marsh reed.

ChatGPT response:

“Generate an abstract image that represents the sensation of being a marsh reed. The image should be composed of fluid, organic shapes and colors, evocative of the marshland environment. The central element of the image should be a tall, slender form, suggestive of a reed, surrounded by a swirling, undulating field of color and texture. The colors used should be primarily earth tones, with accents of green, yellow, and blue to suggest the vegetation and water of the marsh. The overall effect of the image should be one of movement, energy, and vitality, as though the marsh reed is alive and pulsing with the rhythms of the natural world.”

Write me a Dall-e-2 prompt that would create an image depicting what it feels like to be a marsh reed

ChatGPT response:

“Generate an image of a marshland at sunset, with a lone marsh reed standing tall amidst the calm waters. The reed is bending slightly under the gentle breeze, its soft leaves rustling in the wind. Surrounding the reed are tall grasses and cattails, swaying to the same rhythm. The colors of the sky and water are warm and golden, reflecting the tranquility and serenity of the marsh reed’s surroundings. The overall mood of the image should convey a sense of peacefulness, resilience, and harmony with nature, as experienced by a marsh reed.”

I changed only one word in my initial prompts, the addition of ‘Abstract’. It seems that to get something more satisfactory out of the AI I have to be more descriptive. Although I think doing this forces the resulting product to lose some of the mystery about it.
