@bbenzon @peligrietzer "A man climbing stairs."
"A man climbing stairs in a zero-gravity world."
"A man climbing stairs in a world where gravity is three times as heavy."
To the more impressionistic results I got for a similar prompt in Stable Diffusion (left) and new MidJourney (right). You might say these are symbolic forests rather than "forests of symbols"? 2/4
"Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes utter confused words; man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar eyes." The new @midjourney is wiiiild.
Actually stunned by the aesthetic range of text-to-image on discord servers. Wider than I was capable of imagining. Only ~10% is male nerds seeking idealized cyborg girlfriends. (Still 10% too much—but about 80% less than I feared!)
@advadnoun Checked on Marck de Lired too, and I gotta say he looks very capable of mudidur.
"Types of figurative language, by Ernst Haeckel," and "The alembic of literary dreams, by Ernst Haeckel."
Damn, the new @midjourney is good. "In some melodious plot of beechen green and shadows numberless, singest of summer in full-throated ease."
"Rustle" is not too bad, actually, once you accept that the thing you hear moving behind you in the autumn leaves might be ... larger than a squirrel.
Thread of one-word sound prompts. "Whoosh" and "whisper." 1/4
One-word prompts: tumble, rumble, mumble, grumble.
