Now this is interesting...

Someone did "1940's Detective Noir film" through MJ:

That pistol for once isn't a nightmare amalgamation of handguns; the profile & shape reminded me of something, and is very reminiscent of one pistol in particular, the Dreyse M.1907 (except for the apparent lack of triggerguard).

Now what does that have to do with hard-boiled detective noir films? From the wiki's Popular Culture section:
The "Dreyse 1906" is depicted in Fritz Lang's 1933 film The Testament of Dr. Mabuse by former detective Hofmeister, and is the favorite weapon of the assassin Hardy, to kill Dr. Kramm. After Hardy's death, Inspector Lohmann muses that Hardy must have used the "1906 Dreyse" pistol because he was used to it, even though "these guns have been out of style for a long time." The film was banned in Germany by Joseph Goebbels, and was not shown in Germany until 1951.
:thinking:
 
More from Midjourney. I can absolutely see some Terran Trade Authority influence with the first two:

This is like a book cover I know I've seen somewhere; maybe from an early memory, or a dream, or an alternate reality. But I definitely feel a bit mandela'd about it.

Was it this?

The cover was painted by Sci-fi artist John Berkey, whose art often looks as if it's AI generated. (But obviously he had been doing these decades before AI art.)
 
A very simple prompt, run 100 times.

First, it warned me against opening the box

I think this is the guide. He gets closer every time he gets generated.
At least there's snacks..

Another warning.

But the tour is looking good

I think it's asking if I want to go deeper.

And the last image was a collection of faces. Not sure what this means.

Aww shit.

That was one of my favorite books as a kid, but I forgot about it decades ago.

Now, make them fight the Ancient Aliens led by Giorgio Tsoukalos.

They have to label every group they don't like as X 'bro'. It's like it all has to relate back to some frat boys that rejected them in college. Yes, every single person making ai content, especially the people actually researching the tech are partying on the daily and hazing the new members.

I've seen it too. I'm pretty sure it's one of the Year's Best SF anthologies (or maybe year's best SF & Fantasy), specifically the colors, composition and ship orientation. If it isn't, it's dead-on with the sort of art they use.

Does it count as valley-crossing if images like these make me question if my own memories are authentic?

It'll be haggard, but here goes:
High-definition, detailed, cinematic, scene from Ancient Aliens, Egyptian Predator versus Giorgio Tsoukalos, in the style of Ancient Aliens, 2016
Negative prompts: Extra eyes, extra fingers, extra legs, extra nose, extra ears, extra tails, unsymmetrical head, unsymmetrical face, blur, low contrast, low detail, fur, bright lighting

Edit: an amusing failure
Ancient Aliens, Giorgio Tsoukalos versus Predator, sharp details, cinematic, epic movie, directed by Stanley Kubrick, 1994

It's going to be a long night.

Edit: I was correct
"directed by Michael Bay"

I'm probably super fucking late to this realization, but I wonder how NFTs will use this to their advantage so that people will maybe stop associating it with that godawful monkey art and perhaps make more people interested with actually good looking AI art to purchase on the blockchain or whatever the hell.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see lines of NFTs based on image2image with the same base image (say, a mspaint sketch of a figure in portrait) being fed through a thousand different seeds to get similar but distinct images.

I've already seen some NFT advertisements that have telltale neural network signs but none that take this approach yet.

Wake me up when these faggots actually make art instead of drawing porn of already established characters (they're mad at the robot doing what they do but faster)

Reminds me in a lot of ways of the book covers from the Ender's game series. All the big, imposing sci-fi buildings with a lot of high tech greebling.
