It’s my turn to set the Community Challenge for this week…

Theme

Dive into the gritty neon-lit streets of cyberpunk with our latest theme: ‘High Tech, Low Life.’

In this artistic exploration, I challenge you to capture the essence of a cyberpunk world where advanced technology and societal decay intertwine.

Picture towering skyscrapers and neon signs, juxtaposed with the raw struggles of life on the streets. Your art should tell stories of resilience and survival in an urban dystopia, where the futuristic and the forlorn are inseparably intertwined.

    A bit late to the party, but here is my take.

    Generated it in ChatGPT with the following prompt:

    Generate a photorealistic picture of a man clothed in rags in a run-down room, holding hands with a small child clothed in rags looking forlorn out of the dirty window at the glittering futuristic city, insanely wealthy city in the distance behind a slight layer of dust behind the slum which is visible from the window.

    which led to the image prompt:

    A photorealistic image of a man and a small child, both dressed in rags, in a run-down room. The man is holding hands with the child, who looks forlorn out of a dirty window. Outside the window, there’s a view of a glittering, futuristic, and wealthy city in the distance, partially obscured by a slight layer of dust and the visible slum. The contrast between the impoverished interior and the opulent cityscape outside is striking.

    Bing Dalle3: a child with a backpack giving a bag of food to a homeless person on the sidewalk. the homeless person should have cybernetic implants and look disheveled and downtrodden. setting is the slums of a cyberpunk city with bright signs and advanced technology, hanging wires. a sign advertising “joy” in the background. night scene. gritty, photorealistic style.

      Looks like we had pretty similar ideas, it’s a bit disappointing how similar mine looks. feel like we’re switching from it’s AI generated it has 6 fingers to it’s AI generated, looks like Dall-E 3 version of “cyberpunk slum”

    Bing: “a beautiful digital rendering of a cyberpunk city street. there is a new, clean building titled ‘Business School’. next door is a broken down, disheveled building titled ‘Actual Skills’”

    Prompt: A dramatic vision of post-global warming New York City in a cyberpunk style, emphasizing extremely high walls and raised sea levels. The scene showcases towering walls that dwarf the city’s skyscrapers, clearly built to hold back the dramatically risen ocean waters. The cityscape is adorned with neon lights and advanced technology, with futuristic buildings and digital displays. The ocean’s water is visibly high, almost at the brink of the walls, showcasing the severe impact of global warming. The setting is during a dusk-like atmosphere, highlighting the contrast between the dark, threatening waters and the brightly lit, resilient city.

    I sorta cheated. I watched The Expanse.

    Gen with Dalle-3/GPT-4

    In the future horses run off only cannabis nugs…
