You Be The Judge

You Be The Judge

In my previous blog post, I showed an image of a beautiful girl that I'd downloaded as a free image from Pixabay to use in one of my sites.

It was AI-generated but totally photo realistic.

It got a lot of admiring comments and ponderings about where AI was headed, but also a lot of people asking which AI resource was used to create it.

This I didn't know, as I hadn't created it, but just downloaded it from the results of a Pixabay search.

So, I thought I'd try the three AI generators I do use, namely ChatGPT4 (DALL-E), Leonardo and Adobe Firefly and see what they would come up with.

I asked them to create an image of "a beautiful girl with red hair and lovely skin with a light dusting of freckles" (my website post was about skin care for redheads).

Here are the results:

ChatGPT4 (DALL-E)

Cute, but unmistakably generated by AI.

So, I gave it a follow-up prompt "please make the image more photo realistic" and this was the result:

Better, but you'd still never mistake her for a real model.

Leonardo

Leonardo generates 4 images from a request, so I picked the 2 I liked best.

and

Pretty good, I thought. Realistic and exactly what I asked for.

Finally, Adobe Firefly

and

I'd probably choose one of these two as my favorite. To me, they look like photos of a real girl taken in a portrait studio. But that's just my opinion.

As I said in the heading "you be the judge".

What do you think?
