Playing with AI platforms to assess what’s possible, viable, useful. If a platform delivers responsive predictive images regularly then it could come a favoured tool.
I begin following previous experiment with hand drawing prompts with a portrait photograph of myself.

With the advent of AI it is enticing to experiment with its offer and oportunities to visualise thoughts and concepts that once would have required many material resources. The sounds attractive and free of drawing further on diminishing resources, but while innocently using the tech we are drawing on the 9-11,000 data centres around the world that demand vast quantities of electricity to operate and similarly vast amounts of water to cool the systems located in areas with little to spare. More on this here.

prompt: Convert to a pencil drawing
First action didn’t have the effect I was expecting with no drawing applied.

It offers ‘similar – different’ to the photograph from my system but no drawing effect.

Tried both ‘similar and different’ with no constructive draw effect. Applied the ‘man’ offered keyword:

Now taken far away from my original intention. AI offers up many additional choices although the request has a particular in mind. This is not particularly helpful.

No photograph supplied by myself. Text Prompt: A smiling bespectacled male printmaker in blue t shirt with black wrist cuffs held forward

second prompt: add in: Make him 70 years old with wrists held upward and forward wrist cuffs on both forearms T-shirt should be royal blue

The platform begins with an assumption of a white western person. It follows the prompts basics. The smooth smile and complexion seems the same in both aged character. A beard was not requested but delivered in both. Only one arm is held up with two hands appearing from the left arm.
3. Gemeni

prompt: hands upwards and cuffs length of forearm.

A good AI representation of the human intention

Every additional request changes the face without request so no continuity to work from. Additional requests achieve some positive change, but most take away from the original intention. Like google search options beyond the individual search results are thrown up. As like recommendations beyond the researcher’s initial query. It goes on and on.

An AI Personal Photographer: seems to offer generation of portrait photographs from text.

Another character interpretation.
He looks like a real human, but he’s not real!
I also tried ‘Hand Draw’

Which I preferred to the photograph
