ChatGPT - Watercolor

 So, recently I posted a photo I had taken for my photo cohort, a photo of a hot, hazy day at Watershed. Last week during a discussion at the photo site, we talked a lot about ChatGPT, and what it could do.  I got the idea to see if it could make a decent watercolor of the photo.  As a reminder, here's the photo:

I uploaded it, and entered "Turn this into a watercolor painting".  And here's what it came up with:


It did surprisingly well, though I don't really like the re-crop, maybe I should've started with a 4x6 ratio photo.  And it turned the bird's head.  And the overall size is smaller.  Then I asked (told):  Make the bird more detailed", and here's the 2nd version"



It is interesting that the filter pulled more detail out of the 1st version, except for the bird.  And that the bird gests bigger in each version.  But the results are pretty cool.  I may have to keep playing with this, wee what I can come up with.  I still prefer the "real" photo.


It is almost scary though.
