Bath Buddy [Midjourney]
(sh.itjust.works)
Prompt: horror movie, over-the-shoulder view of a man taking a bath in foamy water, an alien eye on a tendril pops out from the water, shot on disposable camera, moody lighting --ar 3:2 --stylize 75
Getting an eye on a tentacle is a lot harder than I thought it would be. You often get a tentacle and an eye somewhere, but combining the two seems to be difficult for some reason.
Some of the horrors I've seen while making this image.
I think it will take insane amounts of effort to wrangle the model into not doing its own thing. Possibly more than the amount of effort it takes to animate manually.
"Yes this is brilliant, now generate just a few more se..... why have you added a clone of my character? What? And why have the emotions on the faces of the other two swapped again? Arghh it's confusing the subjects again! Now the room has started strobing too, goddammit this is a bathtub not a disco!"
Think we might need either a new type of image AI or maybe expanded latent space with just a shit load of new parameters. Anything to improve comprehension and prompt attention.
You can already see some of this in the new style reference and character reference parameters being used in Midjourney. Basically they allow you to maintain consistency between different images for characters and overall style.
It's not perfect, but I can imagine it being very useful when they manage to improve on it.
