Yes, reminds me of a video game or comic book - more fiction than fact.

My favorite so far were f-bodies with 3 headlights.... definitely artificial !!

But the ability to generate images like this from simple plain text input is impressive and fun.

I am not amuzed with "AI" pool table shots, people fakery, and propagandas.

Car and truck wreck simulations are at least interesting, however innacurrate the models are, they models can be tuned into a useful predict.

The most basic description I could to get a image. Like you, I could not for the life of me get a good rendering of a 68 GTO, maybe in due time this tool will get better. Also the images seemed cartoonish, as mentioned maybe because of copy rights. So I decided to deviate and started adding (Rat Rod, Hot Rod and Stocker).

The first one was GTO Rat Rod, the second was GTO Rat Rod in vivid color, the third one was GTO Rat Rod with big slicks popping a wheelie. You can get different results by just moving words, obviously you'll never get the same image and sometimes you can coax it into better results. You can also change the recent tab.

I gotta admit, despite the lack of true to real life reality ... I like that stuff. They are pleasant to look at.

Heck of an exhaust system on those hot rods

In the last 10 years, it seems image software in general has exploded. Every ad on TV looks like one of these "created" images.

Even NFL games have 3D real-time models created from multiple cameras. Like people now want the broadcast to look like a video game. Used to be the other way around...

This "Image Creator" is cool, but not anything near as powerful as what's driving the technology.

If you get bored, look into "augmented reality" like Hololens. Slip on a visor, talk to it, say "show me a guide for replacing the timing chain on a 1967 Pontiac 400" and have a step-by-step guide projected onto the engine while you do the work for the first time ever. This stuff will have a huge impact on lots of industries. Easy to see why there's so much money pouring into AI and imaging.

Being a dinosaur, all this is happening faster than I can (or want to) keep up with.

The craziest thing I've ever seen is virtual property, "Digital Real Estate" which you can buy and own in a "Metaverse". Much like virtual art but can function as a game piece in a virtual setting where it can be bought, developed, traded or used as a source of income. Land prices range from .16 Ethereum - $357.24 to 1.09 Ethereum - $2434.59.

I'm an old fart as well but trying to stay current and somewhat semi innovative.

4z - that's an interesting one!

Yes, HoloLens was so cool and had success in some vertical industries but the guy managing it got fired for workplace shenanigans. V3 was canceled as well.

Hopefully they haven't given another market away to Apple...lol

You mean in the description? Yes, I just used "1970 GTO", that's all. Are you not getting the same results?

Edit - If not, could be due to my previous searches, and included in the recent tab. May take you several times.

I used to be an automotive illustrator and it would take about 40 hours to do art like this. Now you can type a prompt and have art in 10 seconds. This will destroy the world of art as we know it.
It's only limited your verbal creativity.

Used this phrase "God's Car"
I think it looks a bit Pontiac.

Yes, yes it does, hard to tell what you'll get, it's a crap shoot, pull the arm on a slot machine and see what comes up on it.
Here are the results I just got for the description "1970 GTO", I usually get 4 pictures in each result, not every time though.

Must be hard for you to see...

Certainly the world of advertising is embracing these tools. Half the ads on TV have animals interacting with humans. My boys at least knew Teen-Age Mutant Ninja Turtles were cartoons 25 years ago. Before long, kids that grow up with this stuff may struggle more to separate fact from fiction.

Then again, I used a slide rule for a few years and I got through it.

Still struggling to get a 68 - 69 GTO, the 65 - 67 come pretty close, the 70 - 72 I get the lights, grill and hood, then I can't get the side, I get the side an it's something on the front... It's getting better though, some body styles seem to come easier, here are some Mopers whilst I continue my struggle, a few of them are fairly accurate renditions.
