I think what Eric says is right, they are good but not yet great.

I had a red kite on a post and asked AI to put it in the woods, it took 8 images before I got one that I thought was ok but not good enough.

Iain….after looking more closely at the goldfinch image with Mike (my bird watching buddy) he raised an observation that I missed. He said the tail is too long for a Goldfinch (European or American). He also thought the eye ring was wrong. His comment was “it’s almost a composite of several birds”.

This revelation makes me now wonder whether AI is not just grabbing a web picture but actually looking at all sorts of information (paintings, drawings old and new) and creating its interpretation of a Goldfinch.

I had wondered if the smudging effect was AI taking a very low res image, then using processing to control ‘scale up artefacts’ on the file to get the large file size Graham got.

Thoughts?
