AI's Artistic Struggle: Capturing the Scene, Not the Pose with Midjourney

In the realm of artificial intelligence, generative models are pushing the boundaries of creativity. These models can generate images, text, and even music based on user prompts. However, achieving accuracy and capturing the nuances of human intention remains a challenge. This blog post examines the results of a generative AI model tasked with creating images based on specific scenes and poses, highlighting the model’s strengths and weaknesses in translating prompts into visual representations. We’ll explore the concept of ‘dramatic style poses’ and how they are used in various contexts, providing examples to illustrate the complexities involved.

Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.46, which is also below average. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene described in the prompt and didn’t create an image that accurately reflects it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.05, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style.

Overall, the model seems to be better at capturing the desired aesthetic than understanding the scene and camera position. This suggests that the model might need further training to improve its ability to interpret and translate prompts into accurate visual representations.
