Wrestling with Artificial Intelligence

It's been over three years since I last posted on my blog.  Over the course of doing this blog, the motivation to come up with new posts pretty much left me.  Most of the wrestling videos being produced just didn't inspire my creativity to the point where I did not care to come up with any new ideas.  But recently, I started playing around with AI to create wrestling images, and this has been a good creative outlet.  Right now, it is difficult to create images of good wrestling action with AI.  The only thing I can create with some regularity is the gorilla press, so it's lucky it's one of my all times favorite wrestling moves.

All these images that you see here are created with Image Creator on Bing.  It's very temperamental, rejects a lot of prompts, and usually generates an image that is not what I am asking for.  But maybe one out of every twenty or thirty attempts produces a really great image.  It's my hope that over time AI image generation improves and that eventually I'll be able to create different types of wrestling moves and holds, especially, of course, the bodyslam.

I'm posting images to my Facebook page (Facebook) and my Instagram (Greg B (@arlnova77) • Instagram photos and videos), so be sure to check them out regularly.
