A post-apocalyptic dark ambient journey through the ruinscapes after "the event".

Created with DALL-E 2 text to image program with soundtrack provided by me.

Re. the DALE thing ... though ... https://irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2023/01/14/stop-feeding-the-hype-and-start-resisting/

DALE is an openAI FI program too .. not AI .. but 'Fake Intelligence' (as I call it). 'Stochastic Parrot' or 'Automated Plagiarism' are other expressions for it.

I think I maybe saw some stills from Tarkovsky's Stalker movie? (but I may have gotten some doom triggers from that movie).

Anyway, nice music Cool

And a nice collection of images too .. the FI is good at that (I've seen openAI predicted to replace google, eventually).

Oh, and there is criticism on OpenAI too ... it not being that open really .. but a business model rather .. remember googles 'don't be evil'?

Sorry for spoiling the DALE thing Rolling Eyes

but eh .. posting this anyway Laughing

Oh no worries about spoiling Laughing

Actually I am in agreement with you on the Fake Intelligence idea. Usually I avoid that term, AI, but I also just accept it as the word people call it as well.

I don't think there is anything outright that was from Stalker, but I did use "like the movie Stalker" a couple times in the prompts. The returns on those prompts though actually manifested the hooded figure that you see a couple times.

Interestingly, though I never expressed anything in the prompts about nuclear war or radiation, but the buildings have a strong resemblance to the abandoned city of Pripyat, Ukraine. So here, I think it might have been drawing from that.

Thanks for watching. Just having some fun with this stuff.
Glad you liked the music Very Happy

Ah ok, was wondering a bit about what 'search phrases' you had used. Hmyeah .. Pripyat .. that was pretty doom too .. Chernobyl .. of course there are lots of new doom pics in the country though Sad

Yeah it takes a little practicing to get your prompts to create what you are trying to achieve.

Give DALLE-2 to a try if you want. It's free. You can do 50 prompts when starting out. That will give you 4 pictures per prompt. After that, they allow for 15 per month.
