I thought I would share this first attempt at using AI to generate an image as it made me laugh and it may give you some ideas and save you some time.
In my “Where for art thou, Jade?” post, I made mention of Romeo and Juliet and thought a bellydance themed balcony scene might be a fun picture to add.
I am a bit reserved when it comes to AI as I don’t want it to take away the jobs of creatives etc, but it is also a great took that can apparently help creatives so I felt I should see what results I would get. So I went to chatGPT and being a bit of newb, I asked it to help.
My enquiry : Can you design a picture that depicts the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene as belly dancers?
ChatGPT
That’s a fantastic idea! Imagining Romeo and Juliet in the context of a belly dance performance adds a rich, artistic twist to the classic scene. Here's a detailed description of what that might look like:
Scene Concept: Romeo and Juliet as Belly Dancers
Setting:A moonlit courtyard with an archway that overlooks a grand cityscape, evocative of the Renaissance but with a Middle Eastern flair. The balcony, where Juliet would typically stand, is adorned with flowing silk drapes in deep reds, golds, and rich purples. There are lanterns casting a warm, flickering glow, and the air feels magical.
It went on to give detailed pose instructions, dance dynamics, background elements and finished with this..
This vision would combine the romance and passion of Romeo and Juliet with the sensual and expressive movements of belly dancing, transforming the balcony scene into an evocative performance filled with emotion, beauty, and energy. The contrast between the flowing, graceful gestures and the intense, powerful rhythm would mirror the love and the conflict at the heart of the story.
Pretty good, hey?
I went from thinking about a simple illustrative blog picture, to envisaging a whole show! It was my idea but it built on it, a surprisingly good result.
But I pulled myself out of choreography dreamland and went back to task. Turns out that Chat GPT can’t do images yet.. Opps!
So I searched for an image based AI and tried starryai. I couldn’t use the entire chatGPT prompt as it was far too long. It made a few good images although like the one I used and the one above.
It had trouble including both Romeo and Juliet for some reason though but I kept trying as the results were still lovely ....
I couldn't get it to have Juliet on the balcony above and Romeo below but the options presented did make me laugh!
I didn’t realise that WordPress now had built in AI picture generation suggestions but it still needs a lot of work, starryai had some issues but it also created some really beautiful images I could use. The WordPress AI is not as advanced from what I can see, so I would advise wordpress users to check out other AI options for pictures if you have something specific in mind. When I asked the wordpress AI for a silhouette of a bellydancer with her hand on her back, these funny options came out!
That's not holding her back! and how many fingers does this dancer have? And for the second picture.. I mean that is some serious contortionism!
So far, I think using a dedicated image AI program like starryAI is the better way to go for image production. Do you use AI for images, inspiration, belly dance advertising or your website? What ones do you like the best? Comment below.
