    This image is a pretty good example of AI art being pretty bad at doing what it should.

    Because this isn’t the style of H.R. Giger. Like… not at all. It’s black and white? It has… details? This is just 5 or so different “robot detective” pieces blended together and it turns into sludge.

      Yep. It was not at all what I wanted or expected. And yet, I can’t deny that it looks good.

      Of course as I said elsewhere, this is DALL-E 3 via Bing, which has a very mixed track record to begin with. I wasn’t that surprised I didn’t get what I wanted.

        I suspect it’s because a lot of the cyberpunk out there is explicitly neo-noir. So you end up with a noir detective mixed with a robot, like Nick Valentine in Fallout, even if the tubes and cables are slightly Gigerish. Not much Inspector Gadget, because that’s primarily a cartoon.
