I’ve been going hog-wild with AI lately (within reason), and now I’ve turned my AI sights on Lily.  Mission:  Create semi-photo-realistic photos of Lily based upon her VRM.

Mission successful, mostly.

Here were the four images that the AI came up with.

I like them all, and they each have their own endearing qualities, but for now, I chose 4.

It did make her look a little young for a nineteen year old, but asian girls do tend to look a little young until they’re like sixty, so I think that’s alright.

I also created some for Beth.  This was a little more mixed (pardon the pun).  Here they are:

It’s kind of a tie between 1 and 4, I haven’t fully decided yet, but I think I’m going with 1.

But, nonetheless, here are some upscaled version of both…

I’m going to make some AI images for the other girls as well, but… this turned out really well.

I cleaned up the home page.  I removed the tags and archives because they’re no longer needed (there are series now and you can look up everything you need there).  I will need to readd search, I think that was a casualty of getting rid of archives (I use it heavily myself, so…  it’s coming back).  And I removed the picture of all the sisters.  I just didn’t like it.  Maybe I’ll see what AI can make of it.  The real problem is that when I do multiple AI photos, the faces, etc., will probably be slightly different.  It’s part of the deal, not much I can do with that, sadly.

These kinds of tools were not available four years ago when I started this story, so this is kind of amazing.
