Happy Newhoof, everypony.
This is an image of a minty mare that was ai-generated. To create this image, first I provided a prompt, from which the minty mare was generated. After this, I refined the prompt and also provided information about what the archetypal/hypothetical artist drawing the picture might be doing/feeling/thinking. Three fairly-decent (for AI) images were created. I chose the one that I thought was the most unique and original and applied some basic AI-assisted edits. After this, I opened Paint Shop Pro 7 and applied some more subtle edits to get the final result. What do you ponies think? Can AI pony art be good enough to use for certain things? What things? Happy newhoof!
Closer.
Now we might be getting somewhere.
Oh, very close. I like the expression.
Not bad, although I didn’t mean for ChatGPT to take the suggestion to be creative so literally. I like the expression and butterfly, though. Let’s see what this looks like after some ai-assisted edits.
…still some problems, but not bad.
And of course, the final image after some basic Paint Shop Pro 7 edits.
