I've discovered a delightful new way to waste time, designing sonic screwdrivers with wombo's AI art app.

(a) it likes to do a dramatic zoom at a random angle, cutting off 80% of the view of a long skinny object, with no way to change it

(b) it doesn't reliably parse "put X on top" as in "put a crystal on top."

I've tried a gazillion rephrasings with end, apex, finial, cap (it uses hats), tip, tipped, etc... it's very hit or miss. If I specify a crystal or crystal cluster or anything like that, it just makes the whole thing out of it or adds bits and pieces throughout (see bottom left as an example).

Nevertheless, after an embarrassing number of trial and error attempts, here's an interesting selection.

I know a fair amount of art, so I experimented with different materials and art styles from around the world.

A weird AI drawing exercise I did

Preface:

Let me preface this that I don't recommend this exercise as standard practice, largely (1) due to the [lack of] ethics surrounding AI-generated images as of late and (2) using AI-generated images as references is just a really bad idea (as they say: garbage in, garbage out). I just thought it would be interesting to talk about my overall experience.

The exercise:

Sometime before dream.ai became an app, I played around with it to see if I could prompt it to get a reasonable looking "Mettaton", the leggy robot from UnderTale. Since the character comes in three different designs (box, EX, and NEO), I had to do add the word prompt "bishounen" to get dream.ai to generate something that resembled Mettaton in the EX form or NEO form. But none of the generated images could correctly capture the fact that he has a heart-shaped core in his abdomen (left: The sprite from the game; right: AI generated image):

I thought it would be an interesting exercise to try and "correct" some of these images while still staying somewhat true to the design the AI spat out.

I found it to be actually be somewhat difficult, because the AI was adding in a lot of small details to the point of excess, leaving little room to add in the iconic heart-shaped core. In the process, I ended up simplifying a lot of designs.

Results:

These two best captured the likeness of the AI's output.

For some reason, the AI generated capes in some instances. My sense is that it is mistaking the wings in the NEO form as a cape, or it may be picking up on fan-generated content where Mettaton has a cape (such as alternate universe designs of OceanTale or OuterTale). I did like some of the pointy boot designs, though, they somewhat reminded me of anime mecha designs.

More capes. And one of them has a cane for some reason.

Last batch. In one of the images, the arms were not in full view, so I decided to cheat and give him the iconic tube arms you see in the EX form.

End Discussion:

Although I was amused by the aesthetic looks of the AI images, the designs reveal themselves to be rather crappy when putting pencil to paper. Most of this is due to the heavy emphasis on difficult-to-replicate details over practical character design.

Maybe the only positive learning I got out of this was playing around with the hairstyles. :P

Tonight I was just messing around with dream.ai (one of those AI things that creates images based on the prompts that you give to it [in case you didn't know because, well, I didn't]) and I thought "why not some AI adlock?"

So here are the pictures it created. Some utter nonsense, some other like damn. Plus a very interesting "I just fused these two humans together." (Nero Wolfe is that u?)
