A couple of those look like what you would get if a 67 GTO and a 68 Cutlass had a baby .

I love Bender. Guy at the top of a building, threatening to jump. Crowd below screaming "Don't jump! Please! Don't do it!".. Bender yells, "Do a flip!"...lol

Can you have it use a pic of your own car to do the images?
(so it could be more accurate?)

I don't see the option on this particular "image generator" but I'd bet there is one out there that will do it.

update: Looked around and found at least one that will do it ... but of course you have to pay.

dataway: you were asking for it and AI gave it to you in spades. Future - not many A bodies so the survivivors are kinda melted together - evidently with lots of 1970-72 Cutlass quarters and some kind of weird shiat with the roof and hood.

And our descendants will have PHS+ to show this was the way the factory did it.

Let's see some with the hoods up. I want to know f they include the ''correct" 400-4 Buick stickers.
Seriously, I'm actually curious as to what AI will make of the engine compartment.

I think this particular tool is being VERY cautious about accuracy to avoid copyright issues.

In other words, I don't expect MSFT Image Creator will ever provide an accurate rendition of anything. It appears the distortion is intentional.

As others have noted, ownership of digital images is a big deal and an automated image generator isn't going to risk uploading anyone's copyrighted image. Nor is it going to allow the tool to hurt anyone. For example, it won't allow you to create a negative image targeting a specific product or company. Ask me how I know...

It also won't generate violent images, which is great, but also a little silly considering the amount of graphic violence that has been sold for decades on game systems. I asked it to generate an image of a GTO dropping onto a WalMart and it said I was violating policy (presumably violence, but maybe also about targeting a specific business??)

The "underlying" tool that MSFT sells and is promoting with this freebie "Image Creator" is "Microsoft Designer". I haven't messed with it. Nor will I, as I am not a digital artist. If I was, I'm sure there are lots of powerful tools out there that would allow creation of highly detailed and accurate images.

Image Creator says it is based on, or uses, something called DALL-E. Perhaps DALL-E is software that would allow creation of an image around an uploaded photo or could be taught what images are OK to use for automated image generation ??? I dunno....

Net for me: Image Creator is a fun tool to generate creative images FAST without doing any work at all and a demonstration of how well software can interpret speech to create art.

One could always draw negative inferences, 'pun intended', I think it's awesome, great source for inspiration.



I'm having way too much fun.



Gonna have to make your own Greg.

I liken 'AI' to Pokemon go - I have zero use for it.

Then I asked it to create an image of the same car being chased by police.

It did better than I expected, actually...other than looking like a Pontiac Cutlass..

Let's see yours! Here's a link to the tool:

I then tried "1970 GTO crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a life raft". Pretty good if I ignore the serial killer inside:

They look like a mix and mash of a GTO 442 and a Chevelle all smashed together.
