Uncanny Valley [355]

Greetings from my shed...

I told you I’d share some of my experiments and here we are.

I’ve been digging out some words from old notebooks and hard drives. Poems and haikus mostly. Some go back to my teenage years and although they might make me cringe a little, the AI doesn’t judge. In fact the ghost in the machine is fun to collaborate with.

I’m using Midjourney. Without me nothing happens. And without IT, all I have are mental images, coded in words.

After my words seed a selection of renders, I curate them down, upscale, adjust the colour and edit out any jarring artefacts or add detail. As I am being pretty minimal with my prompts, this can take from minutes to hours.

The image at the top was the final outcome from these words…
