Lost in Space : how photorealistic is Midjourey's AI alternate "BLUE WILLOW"

[Beverly Hills]

To keep it short and sweet - Blue Willow is still in the beta phase and is still a little expandable. From my experience everything that can be settled in the field of architecture
and landscape is already pretty perfect. Here are some examples :

We may have a slight difference in opinion on what constitutes 'perfect'
Also, the portraits are still more suitable for A Nightmare on Elm Street or perhaps Stranger Things than for a photographic remake of 2001.

Having said that, it's of course uncanny. Sure, the details are problematic for now, but from a distance, the result is already astounding.

Somehow reminds me of a quote by Richard Pryor about "Logan's Run"...

Stepford in Space!

yep - The Stepfort Wives with Nicole Kidman

A conclusion : AI generated pictures have nothing to do with real photography. As the name suggest, these images are artificial. You don't need a camera for it, you don't even need to know what a camera is.

At the moment the results still look artificial, that's what bothers me a bit : somehow it's all ARTIFICIAL...?

Oh yes, that has to be the case because artificial intelligence
is trapped in it's self-perception .....!

And that's a good thing, because you still remember how it ended with the HAL9000.

But wether it will stay that way is highly doubtfull the technology is progressing extremly quickly

So you won't be able to change anything anymore, but it remains questionable how far it will come before AI take
over the command like with Kubrick.

Therefore you should use this technology to exercise control over it all time. The possibilities are a bit limited but you can
already create usefull layouts to see what a "real" shooting
could look like......

you still remember how it ended with the HAL9000.

But HAL9000 was/is a figment of human imagination, and its demise was in the same category.

We'll have to ask ourselves what it feels like in your silicon heart to dream of electronic sheep.

These questions leads at some point to the question what is real or what is not.

Are Roy Battys last words memories of actual or implanted
battle replicant dreams?

But what about ourselfes then ?

can you trust your memories.......?

 

[Hassasin]

As Elaine would have said: fake, fake, fake ...

 

[koraks]

can you trust your memories.......?

Most certainly not

Where is the AI sub-forum when we need it? @MattKing @koraks

 

[koraks]

We're already discussing it, Sirius

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched
C - beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time...like tears in rain.
Time to die.

Quite an experience to live in fear isn't it? That's what it is
to be a slave.....

We're no computers, Sebastian. We're physical.

 

[koraks]

Ah, a classic

 

[faberryman]

What fantastic bokeh!

 

[faberryman]

And that's a good thing, because you still remember how it ended with the HAL9000.

As I recall, Dave pulled all of HAL's memory cards, then left the ship in a pod, and had a 20 minute hallucinatory experience for which he did not require a camera. There was some other stuff, mostly metaphysical, but that was the gist of it. Then the audience exited the movie theater, smoked a joint, and pretended they were Dave.
