Beach Boys Art and Portraits - Generated By AI Algorithms

[guitarfool2002]

I saw a demo of this AI program which automatically generates images from text, with results that range from close to hilariously off the mark, but sometimes the "art" generated by the artificial intelligence can be pretty compelling too. And of course I had to input various Beach Boys related texts to see what art this program created. Here are some of the results:

Brian Wilson:


Carl Wilson:


Dennis Wilson:


Mike Love:


Al Jardine:


David Marks:


Bruce Johnston:


Blondie Chaplin:


"The Beach Boys Band":


"The Beach Boys On Stage":


"Pet Sounds Album":



And finally, an AI generated image that I actually found very compelling and which I'd consider getting framed as legitimate visual art..."Brian Wilson Pet Sounds":

Edit: I don't know how to post pictures here, so I posted a link from the website. If somebody could post the pic here that would be appreciated.

Mike Love:

Hyper rare NFT.

I don't understand the underlying mechanism of this particular AI software (e.g., is it generated from textual descriptions of the guys? does it amalgamate images from a database of photos? I'm guessing mainly the latter because "Blondie Chaplin," the one with the most one-of-a-kind name seems to have generated the most true-to-life face). 

A few comments about these "guys"...

Brian... this does sort of resemble how he looked c. 1994-96 in the Don Was era.

Carl... sort of fun-house mirror Carl.

Denny.... sort of looks like '70s Denny was auditioning for a werewolf flick.

Mike ... not even close (except for the cap & shirt) but the alt-universe ML has a kindlier face

Al...  hmmm, almost as if he were the third Carpenter sibling

Dave... not even close.

Bruce.... as a lost cast member of The Lawrence Welk Show.

Blondie... this is pretty close, looks like amalgamation of current-ish face with hair from an earlier era

The David Marks looks more like Pete Townsend

[send me a picture and i'll tell you]

I *wish* my nightmares were this good.
 
The Pet Seaid Seaür Baid: Ptamic album looks like it would sound AWESOME.

Yikes.  I'm going to have nightmares of those things coming at me in my sleep.   If one ever needed evidence over the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, I cannot think of anything as horrifying as this.
