As a teacher I’ve been being trained on the HORRORS of the latest AI because our students might “no longer think” and just “type in a prompt.” First off, I can say with confidence these kids don’t even know where to BEGIN typing in the right prompt to get them what they need. But even for those that might, it’s not a 1-2-3 and you’re done game. Here’s some album art I made with DALL-E2. It took tons of reworking prompts to be more specific, or more broad, choosing variations, to guide, and sometimes starting all over again.
Pic 1 if I recall (it was a few weeks ago) I believe I just put in something like “Ska album cover” and took it from there by adding extra things like “checkers.”
Pic 2 I was plesantly surprised with. We actually used this as the art for our last cover (with some tweaks in photoshop of course). Here my promps were “NFC spray painted on train,” “spray paint needs to be orange” “must contain only letters NFC,” so on and on.
Pic 3 started with “Ska band,” I got creepy looking people, so moved on to ska album with checkers, chose some variations and made some edits and got that, which is pretty weird...
Pic 4 was “ska band with horns tripping on acid”
Pic 5 was ska band in the style of Andy Warhol (giving them an artist to work from works realllly well, which is prob why my graffiti one wasn’t so hard). Then I asked it to make it punk ska with checkered shirts. Oila!
It’s fun, but cumbersome. If you have a specific idea in mind, I’d honestly stick to the old fashioned hire someone who can actually give you a product method.
