AI Struggles with Camera Angles, but Nails Disgust in Facial Expressions with Flux-schnell

In the realm of artificial intelligence, generating realistic and expressive images is a constant challenge. This experiment focused on the ability of a generative AI model to depict disgust through facial expressions. The model was tasked with creating images based on various scenarios, each featuring a character experiencing disgust. While the model excelled at capturing the emotion itself, it struggled with accurately implementing the intended camera position, highlighting the ongoing development needed for AI to fully understand and replicate complex visual elements. This blog post delves into the results of this experiment, exploring the model’s strengths and weaknesses in capturing disgust and camera placement.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.2, indicating a significant difference between the intended camera position in the prompt and the actual camera position in the generated image. This suggests the model is not very good at following camera position instructions.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.66, which is considered good. This means the model was able to understand the scene and shot composition in the prompt reasonably well.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.28, which is considered very good. This indicates that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style.

Overall: While the model performed well in understanding the scene and achieving the desired aesthetic, it struggled with accurately implementing the intended camera position.
