What I love about AI images like this is that it looks like there's so much detail and you could spend forever taking a closer look and then when you try there's nothing there
Kind of an appropriate emblem of living in the second gilded age.
It would actually be fun to use AI to draft the architecture of a building like this and then meticulously paint in all the details.
I like how there's architecture, trees, and roads that go straight into a wall... all built underground!
2001 Space Odyssey vibes
I saw Funhaus on YouTube play a game of "eye tracker" with ai handshakes. The prompt for the person in the hot seat was 'just look at the real handshake'. Hilarity ensued. Going to try it with the family at Christmas this year.
Isn't that already an art style though? Like the dude who made paintings out of just dots?
No that's more about style, the AI here isn't doing it on purpose, it's just doesn't have the fidelity/ability to provide those little details. Meaning when you zoom in everything generally gets blurry and messy.
It would be like if you opened up one of those cross section books, but when trying to actually see the insides everything was off.
Stephen Biesty is a great example of the kind of meticulously drafted artwork that AI is total dogshit at trying to imitate.
Is this from The Way Things Work?
No, it's a drawing by Stephen Biesty as pointed out by @GraniteM. It seems like it might be from Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections but he did a number of books about illustrated cross sections.
