AI Struggles to Capture Futuristic Aesthetic with Dall-e-3

The ‘style-aesthetic’ of dramatic futurism is a captivating blend of advanced technology, sleek designs, and a sense of wonder. It’s often seen in sci-fi movies, video games, and even architectural designs. This aesthetic is characterized by towering skyscrapers, flying vehicles, holographic displays, and a sense of awe-inspiring progress. However, capturing this aesthetic through AI image generation proves to be a challenge. This blog post delves into the results of an experiment where a generative AI model was tasked with creating scenes based on this dramatic futuristic style. We’ll explore the model’s strengths and weaknesses, analyzing its performance in terms of camera positions, scene composition, and aesthetic accuracy. By understanding the limitations of current AI models, we can better understand the future of AI art and its potential to create truly captivating and immersive experiences.

Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of understanding camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t always accurately translate the intended camera positions from the prompt into the generated image.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.48, also below the “good” range. This indicates that the model struggled to fully understand and recreate the scene as described in the prompt.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.3, which is far from the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.

Overall, the model needs further training to better understand and respond to camera positions, scene composition, and aesthetic preferences.
