Half a Jar of Ai Marmalade by olivetreeann

Half a Jar of Ai Marmalade

I had planned to pick up a jar of marmalade for the monthly word but forgot! "Not to worry" I thought, "I've got oranges and lemons, and I'll put a shot together, like I'm making it. No more oranges!! Well, then why not give Ai a shot. It came up with some nice suggestions. This was my favorite and I modified it for the half and half challenge by cropping it, and then added a texture in the background for a little interest and depth. Technically, it's not my picture, but desperate times call for Ai!
Wow an interesting and nice result!

Nice results… a lot depends on what words you enter as to the results you get… this works well.

I think it turned out beautifully!

this works well - beautiful colour!

Great image, no matter how you created it.

Beautiful image.

Nice solution. I love the background and the way you pulled the ai together with your ideas to complete the image.
May 23rd, 2024  
A very nice shot. Good for you. I do not even know how to use Ai!

Lovely set up and shot.

It’s a nice result. The contents of the jar look more like big chunks of fruit though than like marmalade. Unless I just like my marmalade more finely chopped than the usual.

Delicious!

The set up is very attractive. The orange looks a bit odd with its two bellybuttons, though. The lighting is fabulous.

That is scarily accurate, I can usually spit a fake AI!

Beautiful set up
May 23rd, 2024  
Doesn’t look fake at all! Probably due to the editing.

@kvphoto Yes KV- the more specific you are, the better the results.

@shutterbug49 Had to give it some sort of personal touch! It felt like I was cheating on a test. lol

@gardenfolk It's fairly simple. I used a free program on-line to create this. They're all pretty much the same. There is a spot to type in words which describe the image you want to create. In this case I used the words, marmalade, oranges, lemons, mason jar, spoons and kitchen. But I've cropped this so you don't really see the kitchen setting the Ai put it in. After you've filled in the descriptives, the program then searches vast amounts of "pre-recorded" images and pulls one up for you. You can then keep it as it is, or play around with it- as I did with this one. The only "creative control' you have in this photo program is the words you type into the description box. Some programs allow you to use your own photos- but what they do to it is out of your control. It's fun- but I also think it's a lazy approach to photography because you have little to do with the creative direction the image will take. Anyway...debates will continue on its use for the ages to come!

@gardencat I think this image is supposed to capturing someone who's making it.

@cocokinetic That's a lemon. The orange is sitting on top of the jar in a spoon.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @zilli I was surprised by how realistic this one looked too.

Thanks to all for the views, favs and great feedback!

Thank you, Ann for taking the time to send me the information. I will have to give it a go soon. I am usually late to the party...LOL!

@gardenfolk I just started dabbling with it myself thanks to another 365er who made a challenge out of it. I have mixed feelings about it. It sure came in handy when I didn't have any marmalade to photograph, but I don't really feel like this is MY picture- it's someone else's picture of my words. But it is really fun to play with for sure!
May 24th, 2024  
@olivetreeann I bet. At least you didn't have to go out and buy the marmalade if you didn't need any. Ai isn't quite the same but it will be fun to play with.
May 24th, 2024  
Love this!
May 24th, 2024  
@gardenfolk It came in handy today when I didn't have a melon lying around- but this time, it's definitely a small part of my picture and what I did with it, I could have done the same if I'd had a melon on hand!

@seattlite Thank you so much Gloria!

You are turning into the Picasso of AI. 😁
May 27th, 2024  
Wonderful image
May 30th, 2024  
@skipt07 LOL Skip- not really and I don't want to get too used to using it because you relinquish a lot of creative control when you let the program decide things for you. Thanks!

@vesna0210 Thank you Vesna!
