A user said my 'spider-crab' fusion looked like a tangled mess, so I stripped it down to just two elements max per image. Has anyone else had to dial back the chaos after feedback?
I used to just type 'dog' into Midjourney and get boring realistic pictures. Then I tried combining 'golden retriever' with 'freshly baked croissant' and it came out looking like a fluffy pastry with paws. Took me like 6 tries to get the texture right without it being creepy. Has anyone else had a mashup come out way better than you expected?
Last Tuesday I tried to mash a steam locomotive with a basketball and got this blurry mess that looked like a greasy snake. Then Wednesday I mixed a grand piano with a sunflower and the AI just gave me a yellow blob with keys falling off. By Friday I was three hours deep and ended up with a thing that was supposed to be a giraffe riding a hoverboard but came out looking like a half eaten taco. Has anyone else had a run of bad luck where the AI just refuses to understand what you're asking for?
I was messing around in Midjourney last night. Threw in 'blender shaped like a bonsai tree' just for laughs. The result looked like a half melted kitchen appliance growing leaves. Totally useless but I laughed for like 5 minutes straight. Found out later from some blog that AI struggles with mixing mechanical and organic shapes. Something about texture conflict in the training data. Has anyone else gotten a mashup that just looked broken but hilarious?
I kept typing 'pickle taco' and getting weird green tortillas until I finally specified 'whole dill pickle inside a folded corn tortilla' and it worked on the first try, has anyone else dealt with AI taking your words too literally like that?
I was making a mashup of a vintage typewriter and a spaceship control panel. Tried a prompt that said "steampunk typewriter meets NASA 1970s" and another that was just "space typewriter with buttons and levers". Picked the simple one because I was tired. Output was just a regular typewriter with some LEDs glued on. Totally flat. My buddy used the steampunk one and got a thing with brass gears and flame vents. Should have gone with the weird description every time.
Back in 2022 when I first started messing with DALL-E 2, I would spend hours tweaking prompts to get a realistic mashup of a giraffe made out of traffic cones. Now I just type "flamingo shaped like a waffle iron" into Midjourney and share whatever comes out, glitches and all. The weird blobs and extra limbs are what make these funny, not the polished stuff. Am I the only one who likes the messy ones more?
I was trying to mash up a vintage tractor with a croissant and accidentally merged my own profile into it, creating a horrifying loaf-man hybrid that took 45 minutes of negative prompts to fix. Has anyone else had to aggressively undo their own anatomy showing up in a weird place?
