Instant picture making with a sentence.
Long before I became a photographer I had studied art. Fine art to begin with and later graphic design and advertising. During this time I’ve done some of everything for designing logos, airbrush illustrations, fine art painting, portrait painting, etc. Later, when home computers became the next big thing I was interested in using them for design and art projects. I recall my first experience in the mid 1980’s with 3D rendering using Sculpt 3D on the Commodore Amiga. Just rending a few objects took hours, sometimes in the evening running the computer all night to render simple images.
One day I received an email from one of my photo stock agencies that AI images were acceptable for submission and sale. I knew nothing about it and was unsure where to start. Then recently, Grok-2 was announced by Elon Musk for August. Up until then I had only used Grok to answer questions for research purposes. I didn’t know it could render images as well. Once I learned that Grok could create images I decided to explore what it could do. What follows are my experiences with this new imaging technology.
