How 16 AI image models render: “Collapsing mine, woman in a futuristic outfit, in a runaway mine cart. The cart is moving towards the foreground. Behind her cart, there was a huge explosion in the mine. The impact of the explosion is so great that it has knocked the cart off the tracks and sent the rider flying. Angle the empty cart, which is in the process of shattering, close to the woman. Focus the image on the female rider who has flown off the cart. Ensure her features are photorealistic. Make the scene photorealistic, explosive, and exciting as if it is from an action-packed movie.”
