Sketched Out
Over the months, I've been making various ink sketches of various scenes around NYC. Image models have also gotten pretty good, so I've also compared them against what ChatGPT Images renders. Play around with the sliders to check them out!
I hope you'll agree that my attempts deserve some merit, not for their accuracy or precision, but in fact for their lack thereof.
FAQ
- What am I looking at?
- From left to right: my ink sketch, the reference photo, and the AI rendition. Drag the sliders to compare. If you merge the two sliders, you can use the middle slider to directly compare the sketch and the AI image.
- What pen are you using?
- Literally something I took from the office. Not sure what model it is. Possibly this one.
- Why don't the images line up exactly?
- My drawings are not completely accurate though they are based upon the reference photos. I can only do so much. As for the AI images being off, that's a question for the labs.
