Have you tried using ChatGPT ?

[JR_Charger]

You can make all sorts of specifications and parameters, but there are usually a few things that it will ignore. Fine tuning is time consuming.

Don't get me started on the excuses for incorrect output....I wasted a week trying to argue with a Bot to get a simple 5 second video done. I gave up in the end after a week of excuses....who'da thunk a Bot would argue with the User???

It was a great idea, but now I cannot be bothered with it.

Kinda like how anyone can pick up a guitar, but not all of them will be Steve Vai?

Sorry, I've just grown tired of being shat on and maligned for learning a new tool.

I'm not bagging you at all for trying it out. I admire your perseverance with the system. I just got tired of the BS excuses I was getting - my experience may differ from that of other people .....as the saying here goes.

I still think what I was trying to achieve is funny, relevant and worth pursuing, but I'll try another method.

I admit to not being very tech savvy. I do better with what is tactile. If I can see and touch it, I have a better chance to understand it.
This A.I. stuff is pretty serious. My brother in law is a college professor in upstate New York and says the majority of his students are using this crap to do homework. That is really troubling. This is changing people from critical thinkers to ones that rely on outside sources for information without any practical knowledge of whether it is right or not.
Example…
Say a guy wants to fix his car and consults an AI program. He is not an idiot but he does not have practical experience. Somehow, the AI program misinterprets the task or misses a crucial step. The car is now disabled and neither the man nor the AI program know how to correct it. Years ago when I was an apprentice Carpenter I was told that I must learn the basics because they will apply to everything. If I got good at one specific thing and ignored everything around me but that, I’d be worthless when the project was over because I would have been so narrowly focused In the trade.
If students devolve into people that only know how to find the answer rather than how to figure it out for themselves, they will be useless in a power outage or any area without a phone signal.
In the late 80s, I used to see hacks using nail guns when framing houses. In the early days when we were still driving nails, some guys that were slow seemed to think the nail guns would help them. What it did was help them do bad work much quicker. That same condition may be playing out with AI.
If it is used as a tool to enhance and not a replacement for your brain, it can be a good thing.

All tools, hardware and software, have a maturation process. The difference is that in the old days a company wouldn't put anything on the market until it was 95% accurate. But they paid for that testing.

Now since the AI apps, heck most apps, are basically free and the world is the testing department (they've conditioned folks that that approach is ok) we should not be suprised that the first 15 versions are filled with issues. Hell, my damn truck gets over air updates regularly and some fix one thing and break another.

I asked for a more muscular appearance and.....

It made my hair darker and....

Tank top:

It would take me years and steroids to look like this.

 

[Kern Dog]

What if I were a cop?

How about me as a chick ?

 

[JR_Charger]

Apparently you dye your hair as a woman, but your boobs haven't sagged yet.

Is there something inherently offensive or off-putting about this, that's gone over my head? I thought it would be funny, but maybe it hits city people different. I grew up with animals, and nature is what it is.

...and slowly the truth emerges....

I would be concerned if the AI allowed "P Diddy in A Minor" ....something that probably happened anyway.

 

[JR_Charger]

If "R Kelly in P Major" had gotten views, I was going to follow up with "P Diddy in Boy Minor." But I had other tracks to finish, then I found out what a hard sell music is. It's even worse than webcomics - much harder than webcomics.

 

[JR_Charger]

In two weeks, I made an entire music video with AI. I'd post it, but it's got some beautiful booty in it, so maybe not appropriate for this part of the forum. But it is incredible what can be done, if you have the supporting skills to make use of large language models.

[Kern Dog]

It sure is not perfect.
I gave it THIS picture....

Asked for them to change the wheels to ET Wheels, LTIII V. I figured the program would know what those wheels are. No....

I get a 15 inch wheel that is different from the ET wheels and they cut the ends off of the car. I posted this for reference:

They returned with 5 spoke wheels and still cut off the front of the car. The R/T in the stripe is messed up too.

TRY again....

SIX spoke wheels instead of 8, the side markers on the car changed and now I have chrome trim at the rear edge of the car above the bumper.
AGAIN....

SIX spokes on the front wheel, 7 on the rear. NO black stripe. Front of car still cut off.
My last attempt before giving up:

Now the car has a '69 front bumper, no stripe and wheels with 7 spokes.

Are you still using ChatGPT? What you want can be done, but I don't think ChatGPT is the tool for it.

Here's an image I generated with Flux on flux1.ai -

Here is the final image that I animated -

As you can see, tons of changes were made - and it took all kinds of tricks to make them. The logo on the shirt was designed the old fashioned way, but added to the shirts using Flux Kontext on openart.ai. When generating the new image, it is important to prompt with language telling it to precisely and exactly maintain everything in the image you want to change - color, shapes, lighting - only change the rims to the ones in your reference image. It will let you upload four "omnireference" images, and it seems to understand when I tell it "Change the first image, but add the logo from the second image."

After all that, it will still change the image a little, but it was close enough that I could take it in to GIMP (free alternative to Photoshop) and edit the changes into the original image.

The final image has several regular old image edits in it, and some fixes were done with other AI tools for image editing. Sometimes one AI image editting tool will get what another one won't. They will all change the entire image a little when they regenerate it, so photo editing is a useful skill to have.

(just joking - AI is hyper intelligent and does all the work for you! )

Seriously though, this stuff will force you to think outside the box, because it is STUPID.

 

[JR_Charger]

Here's another one. Original image (except I've already mirrored it) -

Final image that was animated -

About a bazillion changes made. Some hand painting done in GIMP (not easy since I lost a video card and can't use my Cintiq anymore. Had to paint with a mouse. Horrible!), traditional image editing to composite stuff in from other shots, used the AI image editors to fix the text on the signs, remove the clouds, change the lighting to make it more photorealistic, fixed resolution on lo-rez elements I composited in. It's work, but nothing like trying to do this in 3D; and there's no chance of getting it done in live action.

One thing I'll say for the AI though, it can do acting very well, and it can animate characters well. It's an amazing film making tool if you can work around its limitations. Mostly that means getting used to the idea that you won't get exactly what you want, but you can cut the good parts of your shots together in a way that still tells the story.

 

[JR_Charger]

Important word of advice - don't do anything underaged looking EVER. You can be the most innocent protector of children, but the AI has seen all the **** and it has no idea what it is doing - but it will often do the opposite of what you ask for. The still image generators are pretty good about not showing you the nudes it accidentally makes, but the video generators aren't. I learned this on the pic of the adult woman with the Charger. I wanted her to hitch her Daisy Dukes up a little, but in AI world "up" sometimes means "up," and sometimes means "down." So you might have a beautiful and iconic image in your head of E.T. touching fingers with a little boy, but the AI could well give you something that will land you in prison on a sex offense charge.

The woman next to the Charger has a nice buttock.
