Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms AI Image Fun

I thought it might be amusing to have a thread in which we experiment with producing AI images involving our favourite motor cars, to see how well or how badly the pictures come out. For extra spice, we could share the script we use and the AI engine.

Here's what I got from Microsoft Designer using the script "Grainy sepia-toned photo of a morgan motor car parked in a field on a sunny day in the cotswolds, with a 1930s biplane. The photo has a whimsical mood circled by the words 'First and Last of the Real Sports Cars'"

That's scarily good really ... a little odd around the headlights and spare .... and the reg-plate is out of place... but not bad for a robot .

The Biplane would be ideal for the taller pilot!! 🙂

I was thinking the same re the plane - Giraffe squadron ?

What I fail to understand is the incorrect elements created, there are a couple on this, the rear wing stone guard, the rear view mirror, but most of all the incorrect number plate, it would appear a deliberate mistake as I typed the correct number. Does anybody know why the software does this?

Depends on the software and the script you used. For example, if you put something like "The number plate should read XXX 123", you'd be depending on the AI engine recognising what a number plate was and being able to create a custom one, and in this case I think it's done pretty well. All the engines are really doing is constructing a composite image based on a massive image search using your script.

Nice image though.

There is some work going into making AI observable. Alongside some people deliberately trying to train it with bad elements to harm it. You do wonder where it will end up.

It has been hard enough to determine where "google did my homework" for some time and now it becomes more difficult to determine if "AI did my homework". So there is discussion about adding a negative element to out it.

In my day the dog ate it more than anything.

Thanks Tim, yes I thought it was a nice image, no credit to me at all really. Having spent a lifetime in graphics I think I retired at the right time as its only going to get better. still bemused, never, ever seen rear wing stone guards on a Morgan for instance, what entity thinks, 'oh that needs stoneguards' all a bit scary, struggling with the concept as all the images I have seen have errors of reality but surely takes an intelligence to create the error.

It's certainly been a long time coming. 30 years ago I was programming neural networks in the first generation of so-called 'Expert Systems', which despite the hype were little more than complicated sieves to figure out which inputs could be handled automatically and which needed a human expert to look at them.

We were doing it for underwriting life insurance cases where humans have the good grace to die by and large in accordance with the established actuarial tables, but there was loads going on in other branches where the risks weren't quite as well understood.
