San Pedro Square Experiment

San Pedro Square Experiment 

First post in a blog that creatively explores the limits and possibilities of AI. 

The San Pedro Square experiment was one my first in this space and done before I thought about really recording or sharing any of this work. As a result, I only saved the results and not the prompts that were generated. 

The Experiment:

I love the San Pedro Square Market sign. The neon signed with the sunset reflecting off the tall buildings makes a for a nice, almost surreal picture. I took this one using at iPhone 14 Pro Max.

I was curious to see if ChatGPT could describe what it saw and then generate an image based on it's own description. I was not disappointed! ( I think I asked GPT to describe the image using 500 words. I tried to look back to see if the prompt was saved, but I was new to GPT and for some reason was deleting my prompt history to keep things clean 🤷‍♂️). Anyway, GPT generated the image below and I think it really captured the essence of the first photo. 

Around the same time I discovered LumaAI. I asked it to create a short video that transitioned the actual photo to the image created by ChatGPT. Once again, very impressive results! 

This got me thinking, what else can AI do? I've done a lot more experimenting over the past few months and decided to start documenting to share what I've learned and to hopefully inspire collaborations with others who discover unique and innovate applications of AI.
