AI05 - Hard Disk Full, Beautiful Trash Everywhere

Early experiments with Stable Diffusion, and the weird value questions nobody talks about

I would have shared the prompts but I suggest, use this to find the prompt, and you will find your own variation. 
Would have shared the prompts but honestly, use whatever I've made to reverse-engineer your own variations. There's a lot of beautiful trash in these experiments, and my hard disks are getting dangerously full. These are my early Stable Diffusion sessions - I'm trying to organize them but it's like sorting through digital hoarding.




The weird thing is, some of these would look amazing as real paintings. But the moment you say "AI generated," the value gets diminished somehow. Not sure how I feel about that yet.

Posted on social: "Buried in Data, yet looking for more." That's exactly what's happening. Hard disk is screaming for mercy while I keep feeding it more experiments. Better images for your 

 

WhatsApp good morning messages, apparently. 


One thing that caught me off guard - asked AI for color palettes and it kept adding detailed images of women to the results. What's that about? Anyways, more coming soon because I really need to make space on my hard disk to make more space. The cycle continues.

 

Still thinking about the painting thing. If I took one of these AI outputs and recreated it by hand, would it suddenly become "real art"? Or is it the intention behind creation that matters? These tools are just tools, right? But why does it feel different?
Maybe the value isn't in the final image but in learning to ask the right questions. Though my hard disk doesn't care about philosophy - it just wants me to delete some files.
