When it comes toAI-generated images, there are many ideas that can be brought to life that many would previously have struggled to realize on their own. Sometimes, it would be better if these AI creations had remained somewhere in the ether, and other times it delivers a real treat for the eyes. A new collection of images that combines the world of Swimsuit Illustrated withDisney Princesses,Star Warsand evenThe Terminatoris one of those that has its fair share of both the good, the bad and the completely incomprehensible.
As shared by@schrodingersfilmclubon Instagram, several collections of images deliver a range of Disney Princesses, such as Belle, Rapunzel and Ariel,Star Warscharacters C3P0, Chewbacca and Yoda as well as variations onThe TerminatorandTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, all posing on a beach like magazine models. you’re able to feast your eyes – for dreams and nightmares – on the collections below.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what is capable through AI generation, as has been seen many times recently. Although there is certainly a place for this kind of artwork, the debate of where exactly AI should sit in the world of entertainment and the arts is one that is continually reaching new levels. With current strike action in Hollywood being partly instigated by the way AI is being incorporated into the film and TV industry, and companies like Disney continuing to push ahead with plans to introduce more and more AI into their output, that is a conversation that still has some way to run.

AI-Generated Images Make Anything Possible
The last couple of years have seen a huge surge in both the power of AI and the volume of tools available to the general public via smart phone apps and other software. Where the creation of imaginative crossovers and visualizing “what if” scenarios was previously reserved for those with considerable artistic talent, anyone can now give an app a detailed prompt and receive anything in a readymade exportable format.
Recent months have seen a wave of videos showing up on various social media sites that imitate the style of Wes Anderson, recreating some famous movies such asThe Lord of the RingsandThe Hunger Games, in somethingreminiscent of Anderson’s style of filmmaking. This has also allowed creators to put actors’ faces into the guise of characters they have never played, such as Bill Murray as Tolkien’s Gandalf.
The results of many AI generations don’t quite go to plan, but every now and then there are those that really deliver a mind-blowing look at some otherwise hard to picture scenarios. However, as the ongoing strikes have reminded everyone, using this kind of technology for personal enjoyment and using it to replace the livelihood of skilled writers, actors and who knows what else, are two very different scenarios. Where the story of AI goes next is something that probably even ChatGPT couldn’t say.
