An experiment with AI (Patreon)

So this is a previous shot I posted a bit earlier but I used AI to increase the "realism". I'm quite happy with how it turned out, even though there are still a lot of artifacts and weird things going on if oyu take a closer look. But the AI definitely manages to add some micro details and also color grading, making it look more real.

I know there's a big debate about AI in art going on, but I think this is a scenario where it's ok to use it. I created the original image myself and basically told AI to just run a "realism-filter" over it.

Please let me know what you think about this. I'v made some more and will definitely share them with you, if you'd be interested :)
