Jack Johnson vs Boilerplate - the accidental hoax

a good rundown of this photo:

...But if it looks too good to be true it probably isn’t – and it didn’t take long to get to the bottom of this particular mystery. In around 2000 a US multimedia artist named Paul Guinan created 'Boilerplate' as an online 'pitch' to publishers who might consider the robot as a possible concept for a graphic novel.

The back story created for the entirely fictional automaton was that he was a little known Victorian robot developed in the 1880s by an inventor named Archibald Campion and unveiled to the world at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition...

Old photo from a trip to Puerto Rico about 20 years ago. The original picture, without the hat and featuring the "Oneill" text, is the first one. The other two are variations created using @adobe @photoshop's latest tool called "generative fill," powered by their Firefly AI art generator. It's really cool how seamlessly and effortlessly you can integrate edits with this tool. Personally, I find it convenient to use @wacom's tablet/pen combo for accuracy and speed. I simply use the lasso tool to draw on a shape selection and type a natural language prompt like "add [x]" or "remove [x]" in the text field that pops up as you marquee anything... Voila, it's done!

But it doesn't end there. This tool offers non-destructive edits, on separate layers with editable masks. This provides a great deal of flexibility for revisions and allows for more precise tweaks. Moreover, speaking of flexibility, each prompt yields not just one, but three alternative results, offering even more possibilities for experimentation.

Although highly impressive, I do wish this tool offered further granularity, similar to the options found within the Firefly interface itself. It would be fantastic to have features like regenerating or using your own images to insert generated content from those inserted images —what is up with the flags, guys? It would be great if your AI was the first to accurately generate any country/state/town flag— nonetheless, even with its current capabilities, the tool opens up a world of creative opportunities.

Background removal is the age old practice of replacing imperfect background with anything of your choice which not only improves the aesthetics, but also adds depth and brings the limelight on to the subject.
