SEPTEMBER 2025 -- AI SLOP

I dabbled with AI in September 2025, but was not entirely keeping up with the latest AI developments -- I barely used Google's Nano Banana (released on August 26, 2025):


The above AI video was made from various drawings and AI experiments in September 2025, using:

I used Google NANO BANANA to generate a coffee house scene in the style of one of my abstract drawings:

The ultimate more interesting evolutions,
like this one further processed in KREA,
would be censored, and not animated in Midjourney

Nano Banana instructions:
"Generate a drawing of the inside of a coffee house
in the style of the drawing I uploaded"

The requested style (top),
the generated coffee house scene (bottom)

The result was not really in my drawing style, so I added a KREA AI portrait in my style, then animated that in Midjourney

AI STYLES

Midjourney came out with "STYLE EXPLORER" on September 4th, and updated it on September 12th.  Then they posted the styles on their scrolling front page, encouraging users to experiment and try different styles.  So finally I cycled an Albuquerque City Street photograph (taken on September 5th) through various Midjourney AI styles -- after first changing it into a 1930s Art Nouveau scene with Google Nano Banana AI:

ChatGPT

I then asked ChatGPT -- "Can you make a street scene in the Art Nouveau style":

Midjourney did not accept my payment on September 20th, even though the same card worked for the previous months, and there was money in the account.  Eventually I was reinstated on September 26th.  This billing issue has happened many times before.
