Man Asks AI to Recreate His Photos and the Results are Astounding

A photographer challenged the well-known AI image generator DALL-E to recreate real-life photos that he had taken on a Leica camera, and the results are incredible, to say the least. After some prompt engineering to perfect the results from DALL-E, he presented the artworks next to one another with the text he had used to instruct the machine. The DALL-E images are marked by a multi-color band. Stelzer, a Berlin-based tech entrepreneur, shot the reference photos on a Leica M9 and a Leica M4-P and prioritized subject variety rather than aesthetics when selecting the photos to test DALL-E. "I got the idea while on vacation, and only had access to an extremely limited number of my photographs on my laptop," he tells PetaPixel.
