Analysing Images to AI Art with ChatGPT-4 and Midjourney

Last week, I was experimenting with AI, combining computer vision technology and ChatGPT-4's language capabilities to analyze some of my past work and generate textual descriptions. These descriptions were then used as prompts for Midjourney to create AI-generated images that closely resembled my work. The descriptions weren't 100% spot-on, and I chose not to alter the prompts to better match my original work. I plan to rewrite the prompts later and will share them in another post.

I had no idea how this experiment would turn out. The first test and the outcome—both the description from ChatGPT analyzing my image and the images Midjourney produced—left me speechless for a couple of minutes.

This shouldn’t be a surprise, though. ChatGPT can 'see,' 'listen,' 'talk,' analyze, code, and much more. It's just hard to remember this since it wasn't possible to do such things just months ago. It's like you have to develop a new way of thinking, sort of, I think.

Scroll to see the original work, what I prompted, the descriptions and the AI-generated art.

The first image is my original Photoshop work, while the rest are from Midjourney, created in various art styles. There is no end to the different art styles you can explore with Midjourney.
