This AI website, which @Woosh linked a couple of days ago:


... and this is what happened:

They are good starting points though. I found some AI prompt helpers for Midjourney, will give it a go next week.

With human input, AI designs are copyrightable, in the USA at least:

AI-generated art can be copyrighted, say US officials – with a catch
Some non-artificial intelligence needed

There were a lot of duffs, and it all took hours... but I simply couldn't stop lol. Quite fascinating but impossibly unworkable results, many of them, which were discarded.

I also asked the AI website to design some folding cars.


AI prompt helpers
I stopped trying to communicate context using natural language, and began keyword stuffing, with the odd snippet of sentence structure for emphasis, to skew results more strongly towards specific directions as needed, based on the output.

I think I've seen many of those posted up on here under the thread title of 'my bike is broken'

Maybe thats how these mass produced E-bso companies work. they have a computer picture a bike then without any thought to technical issues just go ahead and build it.

You are really good at this.
Years ago, in my student's days, l read a chapter in a SF novel about a programmer at work. He talked to his computer in a strange English. I suppose we reach this stage now. Soon, the AI will help us communicate between ourselves. One good thing may come out of this scenario, social media may become irrelevant.

If the seed number is too large, it fails. Below is a short simple sentence - the sentence I ended up forming to get the results above became extremely long (now lost, because I had switched off that computer, and it didn't seem important enough to save as a .txt file), and I got less boring designs by toggling between permutations of all the settings made available by the dropdown menus. I might try this again in about a year, to see how "AI" design has progressed.

One bad thing which may come out of this scenario, might be internet registration and overt state mandated tracking of all humans, to filter out socially troublesome/election skewing AI generated content polluting social networks and the internet in general by AI bot swarms? Because there is no automated way of filtering out AI content, as yet.
