Artificial Intelligence tools have come a long way in creating perfect images if provided with proper descriptions called “prompts”.
We will be using ChatGPT to create descriptions for the top 10 dinosaurs that have been extinct and Midjourney AI to bring these descriptions to life in the form of art. Additionally, I decided to use lex AI to give me the last ten extinct dinosaurs list.
Before we start I would say special thanks to my good friend
who inspired and helped me on this project, without his guidance I could not complete it. Please show him some love.
We used the following AI tools just to make it easy to understand:
- ChatGPT
- Midjourney AI
- Lex.page
The last 10 extinct dinosaurs that have been identified are Coelophysis, Eocarcharia Dinosaur, Citipati, Oviraptor, Ornithomimus, Gastornis, Corythosaurus, Saichania, Psittacosaurus, and Protoceratops.
