Michael's AI Adventure: Image Creation With Crayion & Hotpot.ai
TLDRIn this video, Michael, also known as Cardboard Mike, embarks on an AI adventure to explore image generation software. He first uses Crayion to generate images based on various prompts, such as 'Michael Box Face' and 'Cardboard Mic,' noting the software's tendency to interpret prompts literally, often resulting in humorous or unexpected outcomes. Michael also tests the software with prompts like 'Shoe Egg' and 'Gun Car,' finding Crayion's results to be somewhat inaccurate but creative. Next, he switches to Hotpot.ai, comparing its output to Crayion's using the same prompts. While Hotpot offers multiple art styles and a more photorealistic approach, Michael finds it less effective in capturing the essence of the prompts. Despite some inaccuracies, he concludes that Crayion is better for bulk image creation, while Hotpot excels in artistic variety. He invites viewers to comment with more prompt ideas or other AI image generators they'd like to see in a potential follow-up video.
