New AI image (and text) generator to play with | Issue 6

A(i)rtifacts - Issue No. 6

Happy September,

Time flies when you are deep in the generative AI land. 😊

And when there is no new Midjourney news, we keep going anyway.

Let’s get to it!

Midjourney

There were no office hours this week. I hope that they are working hard on getting v6 and their website ready to be shipped.

Runway

RunwayML added a ‘motion slider’ where you are able to adjust the intensity of motion from 0 to 10 (ten being the wildest). I did some testing, and although the results are still mixed (hit or miss), I got some great results, too. Here’s my post with my testing.

New in Town

This week, out of the blue, it seems, we have Ideogram. It is an AI image generator that also does pretty great text (more often than not). IMO, it is still early, and there are kinks, e.g., from a user experience standpoint, but I’m keeping an eye on this one.

Here’s an image I generated with Ideogram.

Prompts

Here are a few of my prompts for you.

Link on the links to see what my images look like if interested.

Feel free to use the prompts as-is, make variations, or take them to places. I’d love to see what you come up with. You can tag me and I’ll come take a look.
