My “Zer0 to 80” post about creating AI images resulted in a lot of interest, comments and questions, as follows.
What application are you using?
I use DreamUp, which is an app associated with Deviant Art.
Any tips on getting started?
For some tips to get you started, click here. Those tips are very basic. I learned more by using the app and experimenting.
DreamUp works by sending text (a “prompt”) to the app describing what you want. For example, when I sent the following prompt to the app:
50-something male man crossdressed as leggy businesswoman in office for halloween
The app generated the following image:
If you resend the same prompt to the app, it will create something completely different. For example, resending the prompt that created the previous image resulted in the following new image:
Other apps?
A couple of readers commented that AI had problems with shoes.
Sometimes AI has a difficult time with human arms, fingers, legs, feet, etc. I’ve seen extra legs, arms and fingers on some images! But most of the time, it does a good job.
Another reader asked how I aged the “ladies” in the “Zer0 to 80” post.
I did not age the “ladies.” Each of the eight photos is a separate AI creation. A simple example: I commanded AI to create a “photo of 18-year-old crossdressers wearing LBDs and high heels,” then I commanded AI to create a “photo of 20-something-year-old crossdressers wearing LBDs and high heels,” etc., etc. up to 80-something-year-olds.
And so it goes.
If anyone has an idea for an AI image related to femulating, I will gladly try to create it. (I love the challenge!)
