^But it won't always do what you tell it.

Here's a Time Magazine article conveying more alarmist stuff about AI causing an extinction level event.

And AI going to cause an Extinction Level Event how exactly?
Of course these are the same people who thought cloning was going to destroy the world and we'd be up to our hips in dinosaurs and Hitlers by now. But in the end it would be very simple to defeat AI.

I like how they recommend making AI above a certain level illegal. I'm sure the Russkies and the Chinese will voluntarily follow our guidelines.

I've lost track of all the times the human race has gone extinct in my lifetime alone.

In happier news, I've managed to bring another character to life. This definitely did not come as easily as the Spacious Skies characters, but finally we have....



Desdemona!

^Remember her!

So far the closest the AI can get to Emyl Muril from Bow Echo.




The city of Dadao on the planet Haiyang from Bow Echo.


Eeba Mishdin from Urth Fall

He's got some weary gravitas.

That came out good.

Eeba Mishdin from Urth Fall

This is really nice. The character, the clothes, and the background have a real exotic look. The alien bird with the butt wings is a nice touch.

^Yeah, not sure why that's there.

The lower zones of Altotorre on the planet Sixten.


Zones 47 and 48 of Altotorre.

Whoa, those are really impressive.

Not (yet) any character from my books but a nice image.



Looking back at some of our early attempts the AI does seem to be improving.

Very cool. It has kind of a Fredric Remington vibe.

I've still got some stuff that I've archived since they first appeared. It's absolutely uncanny the progress that's been made.

I did use a different setting for that one. I have been using the preset "Night Cafe" setting but this time I used the "artist portrait" setting.

Meanwhile...


The moon Arago orbiting the planet Sixten in the distance.

This looks like the consummate phallic symbol Does that say more about you or about me?

^I should use a line like that in the books.

I don't even want to think about the perspective that would turn that into a phallic symbol.

StarryAI has some settings for specific artists. Some are more successful than others.

Very nice. Did you specify that desert area in the prompt?
