    Here are some of the AI generated images I've commissioned, or is that even the right term?

    Anyway, I'm currently trying to think of a theme for my infinity tables and I really enjoy the industrial harbour scenery, especially with some good dystopian vibes added.

    Enjoy :)

    No idea what this AI generated stuff is, but i've been seeing it everywhere and I love it!

    It's fascinating, really. I've been trying DALL-E first, but there is a waitlist. These images were generated by Midjourney, which you can access via their Discord.

    How much control does the user have over scene composition? I've seen some videos based on just keywords, but they were much more abstract than what you've shown.

    I've just gotten started, so I'm not sure how precisely you can feed the AI. So far it seems that it just tries to make sense out of the keywords you've entered, without much regard for any syntax or hierarchy between keywords.

    All these AI models are in principle similar, they were trained by a lot of labeled images off the net, you give the AI a prompt (in this case i'm guessing it was something like "cyberpunk Industrial trade port" or something on those lines), and the model generates an image on it's own, you do it a few times and choose the nicest of the bunch. Sometimes you get awesome stuff, sometimes something strange, surreal or horrifying, and sometimes it's weirdness that just makes you laugh. The original "Dall-E" one seems to be among the most realistic, but access is super clamped down, then some dude read all the papers, trained his own and released it freely on the net (currently named "Craiyon") and it became a meme. And Midjourney seems to have it's own style, less realistic than Dall-E but more than Craiyon.

    I think that at least for now these will prove invaluable as a starting point to something else, an artist taking the results as a sketch to get started would save some time, and people using these could much more easily put an image to their words.

    Hadn't considered the idea of using these for wargaming, good idea!

    Just for variety, here's the result of asking Craiyon for "cyberpunk Industrial trade port", quite a different result but also fitting:

    Nice! Thanks for the explanation! I'm looking to do a possible book cover, and i think this'll be perfect to try out.

    Generate several with several different prompts, if you can do it with more than one of these AI thingies to get multiple styles even better but doesn't matter much, then take the one or the few ones you like the most to an artist and go from there, artists always say how even a crappy doodle with the client's idea is a world of help for them to get started, this is like a supercharged version of that, so you should get something nice!
