ActiveRain ZOOM Meeting AI Photo Homework Challenge

By
Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 NMLS #65149

Last week our Weekly ActiveRain ZOOM Meeting ended with a homework assignment.  We were all given the challenge of creating an AI photo of any style home with something looking out a window.  Once we created the photo we were to write a blog with our results.

I used NightCafe which Paddy Deighan has been instructing us on, to create my photos.  However, I am not happy with my results after SEVERAL attempts.  It was frustrating, because no matter what I instructed NightCafe to create, the results came out different.  Obviously I need A LOT more practice on how I word my requests! 

I asked NightCafe to create a one level high modern luxury ranch style house with children looking out a large bay window at their parents who are walking outside the house.  Below are my two best attempts:

As you can see it is kind of close, but not what I requested.  I am looking forward to Tuesday to hearing from everyone else's experiences, and how they feel about their end results.

If you are an ActiveRain member, join us this Tuesday, August 6th at 2:00 p.m. EST on our Weekly ActiveRain ZOOM Meeting call, to also hear everyone share their experience and learn more about how to create AI generated photos.

George- You are selling yourself short. I love what you did and you've had better luck with Night Cafe than I have.

George Souto  not a fan of AI nor of the person who is preaching the stuff, he talks one way and behave opposite.... just my two cents....   you want to see who is considering looking out the window all you need to do is ask me and I will share a photo in this case the gang is sleeping....www.endrebarath.com feel free to delete my  comment if it is not meeting your approval, Endre

To me, AI pics like an ad for a sci-fi movie.  Weird and fake.  I guess people are into that,

Hello George - let's see where this intelligence takes us. . .    That said, it's interesting to me to see the different interpretations from those who are experimenting.  Their comments add to this ongoing conversation.

I didn't have much luck with NightCafe, so I am using the Bing tool. Your second photo is a little closer to what you were trying to do since at least the lawn is outside! In the first photo it looks like the lawn is inside the house.

Good morning, George. Why do you think you didn't do a good job on these photos... they are much better than anything I think I could do.

I love those photos, such wonderful scenes!  It's neat that everyone who attends the zoom meetings are learning so much about how AI can be used.

Good morning George Souto ,

I think your photos are good! Giving a whirl at AI is fun but have to admit my friends who are professional photographers produce such gorgeous photos I like the real over the fake any day.

Interesting, George, that it has the family inside when you asked the parents to be outside! I am confused why AI can't get windows right...maybe all of us asking these questions of it will help train it!

I don't know what exactly you envisioned in your mind, George.  But, I think those are all remarkable images.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

Thank you, George, for sharing your experience with the AI photo challenge; I appreciate your honesty about the learning process and the insights into using NightCafe, as it inspires me to embrace the creativity and challenges of similar projects! Also, the instructions were to create something looking out a window. Nothing said it had to be seeing something looking through a window from the outside. It's a different perspective, and I like it!

I missed the part about the homework assignment.  The issue I have with the photos is that they are clearly fake.

Interesting images, George. I have missed the tutorials and lack the basic knowledge for the us of AI. I really should dip in and start, I guess.

George while I have definitely heard of Chat GPT,I have never heard of Night Cafe. By the way your photo looks really nice to me. Might have to experiment with Night Cafe myself. Thanks for sharing your photo.

George Souto - If I didn't know what the assignment was, I would give you an A for efforts and good taste! What you got, is what I also get. If I keep getting results that I'm not happy with, I leave it alone; then go back later on or the next day. It's amazing what a difference a day or hour makes! And just how successful I can be just by waiting until later. It's not you, George. Really, your first attempts are very, very good!!!

I haven't had time to play around with the AI generated photos. Yours are good! I've been left behind, having missed a couple of AR Zooms with Paddy.

Hi George:

I have done very little with AI-generated images and need to fix that. But it's been fun to see what others are coming up with. Results seem to be all over the place.
