The top image shows Houdini in Masonic robes. However, this is Houdini circa 1917, and Houdini didn't become a Mason until 1923 when he looked somewhat different. But that's nitpicking. I'm pretty impressed with this, and I see now how A.I. opens the door to seeing images of Houdini that would otherwise not be possible. Houdini in the Hodgson restraints. Houdini tied to a canon. Houdini in the Sangow. Houdini smashing up the Houdina Co. Of course, a talented artist could do the same thing.
As far as A.I. generated Houdini facts go... Yeah, still terrible.

I’m afraid now. Potentially I could generate myself in here with this technology but I won’t because AI still sucks. - Abby Martin (a fellow artist who hates AI generated “art”)
ReplyDeleteI used to do AI chats with him but I stopped because I have much better things to do. 🤣 plus… I think even if my fanfictions can be cringe at least they are human by me a living breathing human.
Well said, Abby!
DeleteI’ll take my cringe Disney style attempt over all of this and my
Deletegrammatically incorrect fanfiction Bound to Be Together any day. I think I made my point. LOL 😂 - Abby Martin
The masonic image looks just like a 1917 color photo. The bottom
ReplyDeleteimage looks like HH with Doyal in 1917.
Also-- the Houdini in this image is the same as the iconic photo of him in mourning clothes with his wrists in the Siberian Chain Escape.
DeleteIt’s so strange to see it like that isn’t it Leo? - Abby Martin
DeleteAlso that image is one of my FAVORITE images of him EVER! He’s so… 😳✨ beautiful… 😭
It is strange, and eerie too. But when you get over that, you appreciate the clarity and detail of his face. And in color. We see the late 19th and early 20th century only in black and white images. Of course they lived in color like us.
DeleteIndeed. I love colorized restorations. Harry had blue eyes with a bit of brown in them right? They look green in some of the restored colored photos I’ve seen. Maybe it’s the lighting. But I’m for sure his eyes were blue! I draw him with blue eyes. - Abby Martin
DeleteOMG I laughed so hard at that image John! oh man! I’ve been sick today and that made me feel so much better! - Abby Martin *sniffles*
ReplyDeleteThe spaceman? Haha. You can thank Ben Winn (one of our fellow patrons) for that one. It's made by GROK, which made these other AI images.
DeleteSpaceman Houdini yeah! 😂 Awwe man. He would’ve loved going into space and doing an escape act on the international space station. ❤️😭
DeleteI checked Grok out and ew, it’s super weird and not my thing. Guess I’ll draw “Harry Houdini escaping a refrigerator” myself. 😂
