First-person view over a neon-lit futuristic city — AI art by @beastxyz

POV: You are flying in a futuristic sci-fi city. This was a fairly straightforward challenge. But to be honest I am rather poor in visualizing and creating stunning landscapes. Also, futuristic landscapes, especially cyberpunk ones, have been done too often, so I was trying to avoid that. This was one of the more interesting ones that AI came up with - a city with large portals to take you to another place conveniently, the airport and transportation mode of the future. I was thinking about how to present this more creatively and in the end I decided to add hands at the bottom of the image to create the POV that the viewer is flying in mid-air with a jetpack. What it didn't work out that led to it being ranked 64 out of 79 entries: - it did not have the vibrancy and bustling vibe of what a city should have (i.e. lack of some human touch - what were the humans doing in the city) - it only had sci-fi vibe and theere was no deeper story to it... What were the round architectures and why were humans flying? - hands appeared "hidden" and looked a little too dark when viewed from the phone In other words, it was too AI and lacked the emotional connect of what the other winning entries had.
