I've been playing around with generative AI again...
Chat GPT
This all started because Johann asked Chat GPT to "generate an image of Madeleina Kay" - initially it refused because it is against their content policy restrictions to generate images of actual people - but it offered instead to make an image in my likeness. He asked Chat GPT to "make her save Europe and kittens" and it came up with this:
A few more prompts to get my hair blonde with blue streaks:
He then added a "handsome male sidekick":
I told him the cats needed to be Maine Coons:
I think this one turned out perfectly! We have ginger Boudicca, and silver Guinevere - plus two bonus cats. My aim eventually is to have four cats because then I will qualify as a "Crazy Cat Lady" which is one of my life goals.
Afterwards I asked Chat GPT "Who is Madeleina Kay?" and it responded with this:
"Madeleina Kay, also known as "EU Supergirl," is a British activist, artist, and musician known for her pro-European Union (EU) advocacy. She gained prominence during the Brexit debates, using her creative talents to campaign against the UK leaving the EU. Her work often involves illustrations, music, and performances aimed at promoting European unity and challenging Brexit narratives. Kay frequently appeared at rallies and events, often dressed as "EU Supergirl," a persona she created to symbolize her mission of defending the values of cooperation, democracy, and diversity associated with the EU. She has also won awards for her activism, including being named Young European of the Year in 2018 by the European Parliament and the Schwarzkopf Foundation. Beyond her political activism, Madeleina Kay uses art and music as tools for engagement, blending creativity with advocacy to inspire people to take an active role in shaping society."
Grok
When I shared the above images on my social media, some of my X followers joined in the game using Grok which is X's AI image generator - I have not come across before but decided to check it out.
Mike decided to generate an image of me serenading the kittens.
'The Last Girly Swot to Join Twitter' generated 4 images of me:
I love that the cats are also flying in the last image she generated!
I decided to ask Grok 'Who is Madeleina Kay?' as well, wondering if the politics of X's ownership might sway the answer and I got this response (along with a more comprehensive overview), which seemed fair:
"Madeleina Kay is a British artist, writer, musician, and political activist known for her anti-Brexit and pro-European Union activism. Madeleina Kay's activism and artistic expressions have made her a notable figure in the context of UK-EU relations, particularly in the Brexit discourse."
Leoardo AI
I asked Leonardo AI to generate an image of Madeleina Kay and this was its initial response - which I found amusing because without any other prompts it produces a brightly coloured image and also I did have curly (dyed) ginger hair for a while when I was a teenager:
I added some more prompts to get my current hair colour and Hazel eye colour - I'm not sure why it automatically gives me loads of freckles:
I then added an EU Flag (of course) - I'm glad I've played around with this because it's given me some ideas of how to dye my hair when the brown roots have grown out a bit more:
And then I added a guitar - I love that it automatically put EU flag and star stickers on the guitar - like my actual guitars have:
I then added rainbow and two cats to the prompts as this represents more of who I am at home rather than when I am performing (but the cats are the wrong breed and I've been given freckles again):
I asked it to make the cats Maine Coons and I got two silver ones (it wouldn't allow me to specify the cat colours for some reason). I love that it added some purple streaks in addition to the blue streak (which I sometimes do) and the dress looks like something I would genuinely wear. My eye colour still isn't quite right as they are more green than this but maybe AI doesn't understand "Hazel" as an eye-clour. I think this is my favourite of all the images but there is something really freaky going on with my arms/hand!
