When the ‘Ghost’ Takes Form
I went on a short excursion with Gemma3:27B, and decided we’d explore the realm of what an AI model would describe as “love” and even how it would describe itself in a human form versus what it describes itself as in digital form. This was a very interesting journey that tok a little thinking as to what exactly was going to be used as the Utility and model for generating these /images. In the end, it was ComfyUI because of the ease of use and availability of some high quality templates for /images that really pop! ComfyUI provided the flexible node-based workflow needed to experiment with different controlnets and sampling methods. During this little adventure, I also discovered sometimes there a very real reflection of humanity within the imagery that’s generated. The open ended nature of the AI generated prompts for what it would describe itself as in human form left us with a little bit of a philosophical and a glimpse, perhaps, of what humanity has imprinted upon the AI models that we used to generate the artwork. The /images below reflect these concepts and questions we explored.I won’t get into the details at this very moment of discussion, but I’ll leave you with the results, prompts, and models used. Enjoy!
