Can readers try to work out anything about the prompt that I used that resulted in this picture please?

Rather delightfully, the AI has seemed to extend the prompt and produce the following picture, which is a quite amazing thing that it did that.

William

Yes, Vermeer.

Here is the prompt that I used.

Please produce an original painting in the style of Vermeer. There is a room. One wall has a window. A woman is playing a harpsichord. An older woman is watching and listening. The older woman is her mother. She is proud of her daughter.

In the second picture that I posted, I wonder if the AI system has built on the idea of the proud mother and included a grandmother too.

Later, without a New Topic reset, I prompted as follows.

Please make all of the dresses blue.

I got four more pictures, with some of the dresses blue, yet not the same pictures, similar, yet not the same pictures with the colour of the dresses changed.

Though that is the fourth picture, whereas the earlier pictures were the third and fourth of the first set.

What I find fascinating about these AI pictures is the added details, such as the jug and the candlesticks that are on the top of the harpsichord, and the pictures on the wall.

Do some of the pictures include switches for ... er ... the not at the time invented electric lights?

Here is one of the pictures that has a different window.

Prompt: “An original painting, in the style of Vermeer, of a room with a window on the left. A woman is playing a virginal, and her proud father is watching and listening.”

Is that a radiator beneath the window?

William

So what is it then?

An upholstered radiator!

But the pictures are requested in the style of Vermeer, not as if they are styled with nothing newer than existed at the time of Vermeer in them.

So it as if it is a scene from a present day theatrical play presented in a set that looks like a room from the time of Vermeer.

So, like real life where some people decorate a room in their home in the style of William Morris, with wallpapers and the fabrics of chairs using his designs, yet having a radiator in the room.

And people dress up in the style of the Regency period and go to events.

I once saw a Victorian fair in Worcester where there was a sweet stall and the man in Victorian costume was putting sweets in a bag while wearing a plastic bag over his hand for modern hygiene.

William

Alas, I don't remember.

William

An eight word prompt, the name redacted at present. Can anyone recognise who it is supposed to be?

Please produce an original painting of [Given name redacted] [Surname redacted].

William

Jane Austen.

In this case it seems simply that you were more specific in your prompt.  Even Google search would have little trouble finding an image of Jane Austen as drawn by her sister.

William,

I notice that you invariably ask AI to produce an "original" picture. How do you suppose AI could produce a picture that is not original? Would that not have serious copyright problems?
