I have been dipping my toes into the world of AI, particularly in the realm of using it to draw/render visual artworks of various styles. I must say that I am quite impressed with it (particularly its ability to mimic various styles). What it does well, I have categorised into either "Beautiful" or "Good". When the image has a minor flaw/imperfection, I've categorised it as "Bad" (although I still see merit in it). However, the generator can sometimes get something horribly wrong and produce an image that isn't pleasing to my eye. These images have gone into the "Ugly" category. (It happens a lot more than the number of images I've saved might lead you to believe, mainly because I've not saved many of those results. It's particularly bad at depicting hands and/or fingers, which is why I've avoided giving it descriptions that might result in it doing so.)

Of course, art is highly subjective and you might not agree with my choices, particularly since most of my descriptions instruct it to depict women.

One thing I do find annoying is that it has a filter to prevent you using certain words in trying to generate anything sexy/sexual. It's not too difficult to skirt around that, though. (For example, it doesn't permit "bunny girl", but has no problem with "woman with bunny ears in a leotard".) I think the results speak for themselves in testament to that.

The Beautiful

Let me start this off with the images that I think are absolutely beautiful and which I could happily look at for hours.

Women in lingerie

Don't judge me; I've got to grab your attention somehow ...

Wolf men and werewolves

Women in latex and leather

Does anyone else see a passing resemblance to a pop singer?

Women with animal ears, in satin

Perhaps I should experiment with cat ears and tails, too ...

Care for a gothic Taylor Swift bunny, anyone? Juat me, then? OK. Yes, this is generated by AI. This person does not exist. Looks convincing, though, right?

The Good

These images are a good go at rendering the description, but I feel they lack the extra pizazz that disqualifies them from the "Beautiful"category. (There's nothing wrong with them, but they don't impress me much.) For this category, I'll stick to versions of what's in the previous category as much as possible (although some things didn't make the cut for it).

The Bad

These images have a minor flaw/imperfection that prevented them from being categorised as "good". A lot of the time, it's inconsistency in colouration of features or position thereof (most notably eyes and other physical attributes).

Note the pronounced indentation on the character's breast.

The Ugly

Something went wrong here and I don't like the results.

Too much red in the face

With this one, I had a lot more ugly results, because the AI insisted on putting a red-and-black seam from the collar to the zip, as if it was possible to peel away the flesh at that point. It looked awful.

What's with the visor-like cheeks and jaw here?

I have a lot more images, but some of them are high-resolution and I don't want to tax my (or your) browser and bandwidth unnecessarily.

Useful Tips

• To get started, select the "I'm new here/anonymous account" option. Then, leave the settings as default, but change the style option from "NightCafé" to something else (artistic portrait's usually a good start) and generate only one image. This way, generation is free and it gives you more credits to enhance/expand the resultant image if you like it.
• If you like the result, but want to see what it looks like with another style, use the "Evolve" option. That way, the AI will apply the new style to the existing image, rather than generate a new one for that style. That's how I got similar images as shown above.
