AI-generated (not entirely realistic) railway images

[321362]

Thanks, I tend to use Bing AI with the GPT-4 image generation option. Most of the time it isn't half bad!
Here's a few more examples:

Do I spy a GWR livery Pendolino?

The Pendolino is very impressionistic; a nice piece of art.

The station sign - interesting that AI can either not read (letters) nor write (or both). Should be a useful input to thoe debate over AI having "feelings" and therefore "rights".

...having feelings of an almost human nature. This will not do...

It's just categorising shapes and then either regurgitating them raw or making up shapes that are mathematically similar, according to how definite its statistics are on what kind of things go where in what context. So it's found similar and high probabilities for both "the sequence of shapes RAILWAY STATION" and "a sequence of shapes beginning LLAN" in a "Welsh station sign" context, and decided to use both of them together. Similarly it doesn't actually "know" that GORSAF RHEILFFORDD means "railway station", it's just put it there because it's often encountered that sequence of shapes in the same place as the sequence RAILWAY STATION. But it hasn't picked up that the one place you don't find signs saying baldly "Railway Station" is on the platform.

Now that we have Sora AI can someone use that?

An old image (perhaps Horwich yard?) with a curious electric locomotive - fresh out of Horwich Works - awaiting its "drag" to the southern end of the London Midland Region. Interestingly, it carried a number briefly allocated to Southern Region HA (class 71) before the HA's renumbering to £5024.
Those wagons on the right had a bit of clever shunting!

The shunting culprit was spotted, with only its left side on the rail, as it tried to reverse up the yard. It gained more attention than another, unidentified, locomotive out of Horwich Works.

Meanwhile, attached image is what happens when I didn't tell Google Gemini that "a Crab pulling the Aberdeen fish train" is a LMS Hughes-Fowler 2-6-0 steam locomotive heading its train of four wheeled unventilated vans dedicated for fish traffic...

You can debut it!

Carcinisation in action, or should I say Carcini-Station

Very good Maybe I should've included the Great Eastern Railway Decapod steam locomotive.

I’m guessing that didn’t run to kings crus-tacean

Meanwhile, after the latest round of Altnabreac going on, the local Sheriff has had enough...


Literally a few minutes in Gemini before going back to work (honest)

 

[Sun Chariot]

Brilliant @Morayshire
The RUK sweatshirts and the disinterested cat, are the icing on the cake!

Are we allowing AI bus images? If so I've got a cracker!

Here it is! The Optare Solo double decker...

Oh god! Mixed with a Plaxton President?

 

[Morayshire]

I have to admit it looks rather good...

 

[pdeaves]

Optare Solo double decker...

Optare Duo?

 

[SoloSR334022]

Optare Duo?

I must say that name is rather catchy! Maybe I'll see what it does with wf streetlite or a strata?

Well I didn't ask it to, but if you insist!

New WW1 Front photos.reveal that German infantry also had to contend with Alpacas and aggressive Honey Badgers...

Gemini hadn't a clue what a Simplex 40hp armoured 4-wheel petrol locomotive was. Well - it got the 4-wheel bit right...

@Topological will I'm sure notice the glaring impossibility in these images. That's right - the style of those rifles!
Actually, I toyed with an armadillo bearing RAF roundel; but I thought it a bit too mad....

 

[Topological]

I always thought people do not give trains enough credit as safer spaces in times of war. Explosions are going on and men with guns are chasing killer alpacas, but the guys on the train do not seem concerned at all.

In the UK we could have saved a lot of effort by just getting horses to carry people around in 5-plank wagons and Anderson could have adapated the air raid shelter design as a caravan for people to enjoy the post war bliss.

 

[Sun Chariot]

As if by magic @Topological

Because, in a direct hit, there's no safer place than inside a big box of splintered wood with a flammable oil lamp.

Not just them. This is probably just off the edge of one of yours...

Brilliant. That British Army Mark 1 tank, looks as if it took a "jumbo" hit...

To be honest, the biggest concern there is that Newcastle is being invaded by giant St Paul's Cathedrals. It is like transformers for historical buildings.

Little (well not at all really...) known, is that Wren designed St Paul's Cathedral dome in the style of a huge lemon-juicer; in the hope a ginormous lemon half would fall from the sky and land, cut side down.
Thus furnishing London's most needy with ample Vitamin C.

Designers like Wren were certainly visionaries. No doubt the choice of lemon was entirely driven by tales of Jif that emerged from the bowels of the dioscese to which St Pauls would contribute.

It is good that we haven't lost the future planning shown by Wren. HS2 are building viaducts with no track, such as the chord from Curzon Street to Handsacre, to ensure we have the "High Line" park of the 22nd Century. Admittedly not as creative as planning for a giant lemon, but nonetheless a selfless piece of planning to give the citizens of the West Midlands an elevated outdoor space.

After creating a more "normal" AI image, with a Stanier Black Five upon a low loader, I mooted if RUK Heavy Haul had been hired to move three Star Wars X-Wing fighters across the wet Pennines. Two onlookers seem familar...

Some might say that the HS2 story is a giant lemon...

Having just clocked this article, I wasn't sure where to put it because the train depicted (made with AI i'm guessing?!) bears more than a passing resemblance to the Advanced Passenger Train! Thoughts??

Google Gemini 3 (latest AI release) is a funny ol' thing -
On this link, you'll see it rendered four of my descriptions with realism: class 47, class 800, Stanier Black Five, Pullman car.

Show off your realistic AI railway images!

I assume that the guy gives that woman some money as a dare to knock the bin over?

Platforms at Newcastle are not that low.
