AI Photo Generation

 A couple of weeks ago, I used AI to generate a "picture" of Joann and myself, as I hope to see us one day.   I used the free online version of Chat GPT and I started with this picture:


I asked Chat GPT to straighten the picture and dress us all in white, including my tie, belt and shoes.  I wanted us walking through a high mountain meadow.  This was the first response:


Ok, not bad but the neckline of Joann's gown is too low and why did it reverse our positions?  I ordered some changes.


This is the one I liked.  It's nice that it thinned me down a little.  The grey hair and bald spot on my 40 year old body, but I'm good with that.  

But, I was on a roll now, so I asked it to show us leaving the Temple.  I sent it a copy of a picture of the Helena, Montana Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and told Chat GPT to show us walking out of the gate.  I got this one:


Ok.  One problem with the free version is that you only have a limited number of edits per 24 hour session so I had to wait until the next day to play some more.  The next day, I gave it this picture and again asked for us to be dressed in white.


And this was the result:


Other than the fact that it made me keep my belly, this one was good.

Then, I had one more game I wanted to play.  I decided to have us accompanied by our boon companions.  I had to describe each of the cats and this is pretty close.  Definitely got Squeaky's fuzzy tail right!


So, there's the history of my first efforts with Chat GPT.  I'm sure there will be more to come.
