This Years Model

Geisha with iPod.

There’s a new AI model that can render photorealistic people and products, including text and logos.

Geisha With Walkman is something I tried to draw 40 years ago, but my rendering skills were simply too poor. The Reve Image 1.0 preview allowed me to do it instantly this morning with a single, basic prompt.

P.S. I retro-updated the Walkman with an iPod to “modernize” the concept.

    I respect your work a lot and your writing to, I’m a long-time reader of your blog and bought several books from your shop. That being sad I’m afraid to come up with a *but* … it suprises me to read *create* in the context of AI-tools when it is more like your idea was generated/visualised by the machine. I work with creative artists in the field of music and design all the time, they have a hard time dealing with AI results in this context. Would that be worth considering? Thank you.

    That Reve tool is going to give Midjourney a run for its money!
