A man and woman sitting in a New York City diner late at night

1. Did you specify photorealistic?
   Or the time period?
   As is, it looks fine for a 50’s RomCom cover.
   Also, Dall-E2?
   Version 3 is out: it’s what Bing Image create and PAINT cocreator (in limited access) uses:

   It’s on my tasklist for…real…soon…now.

   • F. – Here’s my prompt:

     a late-night scene viewed through a window, showing a man and a woman as the only customers sitting inside an old New York diner, which creates an island of yellowish light in a dark city neighborhood.

     • So the software picked the 50’s clothes and hair styles from “old new york diner” on its own. Impressive. Would’ve been more impresive if the car were period appropriate. Or at least a juiced up DeLorean. 😉

       Would be interesting what it might come up with if prompted for a classic painter style, say, “image in the style of Peter Paul Rubens of a young woman sunbathing on a tropical island.” Or something equally incongrous.

2. I love Nighthawks, but I love the AI version as well.

   • Thanks, W.

3. The AI one is weird: the placement of the door and steps is not something you would ever see.

   • That threw me a little as well. Nighthawks is also asymmetrical, which fits the mood – a little uncomfortable, a little off-kilter. The AI looks too perfect, although it would work well (with some tweaking) for a period romance cover.

   • They layout would be a complete disaster as a real diner.
