Today’s comic is the product of artificial intelligence.
Oh, I know what you’re thinking: “John, your humor is always the result of intelligence that is somewhat suspect and artificial.”
True. But, for the first time, the art itself was created by a computer program. No human artist was involved. I just typed a few words into a program and after a lot of insanely lame images, I finally got this one. Then I wrote the dialogue and from there everything was pretty much normal.
Rest assured, the bread and butter of Last Kiss is always going to be old comic book images. But I do like the idea of having a new tool and new image possibilities.
By the way, sometimes creating A.I. art is easy. But it often doesn’t go the way you planned. (Why does that woman have an extra head? Are those blobs supposed to be fingers? Is that a gun in his pocket or…something else?)
As a teaser, here’s a link to a few other images that I’ve created while playing around with various A.I. engines. Warning: These are the raw images. If I use any of these, it’s likely that I’ll be fixing them up in Photoshop first:

I’m not a cat person. But that’s a good looking cat.

I’m guessing that Magnus Carlsen won’t be playing this cat.

I Wonder if that’s a Chess-shyster Cat. Not that I Carroll a Tweedledee.

Cats will wipe the board clean.

A lot of people are using AI for illustrations…like you said, it doesn’t always go the way you want….I do love the kitty, though!

I thought computers were good at chess… ☺
1) Board does not have a white square in the lower right corner.
2) A pawn is on a back-rank square.
3) The White King isn’t even on the board!

I could always beat my Dad at chess, but I never, ever, beat him at checkers. It’s just a different way of thinking.
