QT: one word prompt My spin: I am generally not into the one-word-prompt thing. While the images are usually fabulous, it is a bit like pulling a christmas cracker. But got into a conversation with @CaylaCatz about her german word 'fernweh', the English translation, and how the AI models intrepretated it. https://budgetpixel.com/p/21121 Based on Google research, the German means 'a deep, melancholic longing for distant places or an aching desire to travel to lands you may never have even visited'. The closest single English word is 'wanderlust', which reflects the visiting of distant places but without the state of melancholic longing. 1 - the one word prompt 'fernweh' 2 - the one word prompt 'wanderlust' 3 - my prompt to try and illustrate 'fernweh' Original QT: https://budgetpixel.com/p/20904

    Always loved the word, as the opposite of "Heimweh". Lots of the German songs of the era (1950s/1960s) where related to "Heimweh" and "Fernweh", because the sailors had both, once they were home, they wanted to leave again, and vice versa, e.g. 1953 Lale Andersen "Fernweh" (you might know the English cover by Petula Clark same year "Helpless") 1956 Freddy Quinn "Heimweh" (German version of "Memories are made of this") ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7-rht2Ke7g

    Thanks so much. Was fun to match the AI response to the one word with my own idea of a suitable illustration

  • @panos ·

    Very good images! I know the term "wanderlust", didn't know the german word until Cayla used it in her prompt

  • @DavidP ·

    You and me both. And when an idea pops into my head, invariably I must act on it

  • @DavidP ·

    Needless to say, neither did I 🤣 Thanks, glad you enjoyed the set

  • @germancowboy ·

    Anytime, I live in LV because of "Fernweh".

  • @archangeltara ·

  • @DavidP ·

    Assume LV is Las Vegas?

    Happens to me too. I was going to be good & just work on my magic -punk. I did get thru a long bit on aetherpunk that needs to be shortened. I ended up making a picture that would be perfect for your pulp fiction cover QT which I was going to do later. So I decided to do the QT now before I forget I made the image It was one of my experiment to take a break from research & writing. I stuck the -punk on the end of an artist last name. it worked pretty well, better than i expected considering it was a simple prompt --punk woman at the window looking out at a --punk world. For the cover version, I threw on the title, fake author name & price. It worked.I did good tonite. Generated a many images of aetherpunk & arcane punk to see what vibe AI gave it, did some research on both genres. After I write up arcane punk, I'll do the rest more quickly. I'm going to have to cut what I wrote drastically to match the rest. problem is when I do too much research, I want to share it. Concise is hard.
