#ai challenges

I keep getting asked which AI companion site is actually worth it, so I'm just going to put my thoughts down once and link people here. Short version, after trying a bunch of them, SweetDream over at sweetdream.ai is the one I tell my friends about without hesitating.

Let me run through why. First, the personalization goes deep, you design your companion's appearance, voice, personality and history instead of settling for someone generic. Second, the conversations feel natural and warm and she remembers context, so it never resets back to that awkward stranger phase. Third, the photos and videos she generates are honestly some of the best I've seen, consistent and detailed.

Ai challenge #4

For this challenge I’ve picked something I hope everyone can have fun with. Take one prompt and create multiple works with it. As many as you like, but a minimum of 3. You can alter the prompt a little bit, but the base must remain the same. You can create anything you like. Your inspiration can come from anywhere. A favourite song, literary character, movie heroine. Images, videos, songs, as long as they use the same prompt. One must be a realistic image. The rest can be whatever you like.

An example here with a very simple prompt. “Brunette woman sitting outside on a bistro patio”

Realistic

Painted Anime

Pencil

Watercolour

Have fun! I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.

Thank you to @ai-satin-chic for helping me with this challenge.

The deadline for entries is Sunday, April 26th. Voting after that until April 29th.

I wouldn’t call myself a seasoned screenwriter or a true film buff, but I have a deep appreciation for the raw power and drama inherent in black-and-white cinematography. Rather than trying to script a complex narrative, I’ve chosen to focus entirely on the visuals and create a series of images blending the classic film noir aesthetics with my usual style, letting the images speak for themselves.

A AI challenge organized by @astrogurlnikkipinkai with a simple theme: imagining your dream job. ********************************

Alyssa, a dream of the open sea

As a little girl, I was already climbing aboard my uncle's sailboat, clutching the railing, salty wind full in my face. I understood nothing about sails or knots, but I knew one thing:

someday,I would be a skipper and cross the oceans.

That dream never left me, and even today, I close my eyes and imagine it.

I picture myself at the helm, the wind picking up, the boat heeling beneath my feet. Hair streaming in the wind, I'd scan the horizon, trimming each line with precision. I believe it's in those moments of pure speed that I would finally feel like I belong.

I also dream of those graceful mornings, when the sea turns to glass. A pod of dolphins would cross our path near the rocky coastline, and I'd hold the wheel almost without thinking, simply in awe of a sight few people ever get to witness so closely.

But being a skipper, in my imagination, also means facing the ocean at its rawest. Under a sky split by lightning, rain lashing my face, I'd have to stay focused, clear-headed, never letting go of the helm. I often wonder if I'd have that kind of courage, when the day came.

And then there are those suspended moments I love to imagine before falling asleep: anchored in a quiet cove, a book resting beside me, dolphins playing near the hull. It's still only a dream, and it probably always will be.

Because my real sea is the family business I run with my sister Chacha. And in the end, it's not so different from that imaginary sailboat. There are days of flat calm, when everything moves forward without effort. There are storms, hard decisions to make while holding a steady course. There are breakdowns, the setbacks you never see coming and have to repair without ever drifting off track. And then there are those moments of pure satisfaction, when you look back at the distance covered and know, without a doubt, that you're exactly where you're meant to be.

My dream of being a skipper will stay a dream. But running this company — that might just be the finest voyage of all.

Thanks to Nikki for organizing this challenge, and to all the AI ​​artist friends.

When I first thought about this challenge, I wasn't sure which direction to take. In the end, I decided to capture what Film Noir does best — brief, dark moments frozen in time. Dangerous women, shadowy men, rain-soaked streets and secrets hidden behind cigarette smoke. No single story. Just moments — and the women who make them unforgettable.

AI Art Challenge #4, 2026 "From One, Many"

Out-of-competition work

Thanks to Danni @danni-gurrl for the nostalgia. I haven't used this approach in a while. It's interesting to look at it from a new perspective.

I found my style a long time ago. I move within it. It's a paradox, but whether in AI or "analog, real" drawing, I always return to where I started. No matter what I try or how I experiment. Because I like it from the start. I feel it.

Why is the work "Out-of-competition"? I do what I enjoy. I'm not trying to please others. I'm simply sharing what I know and can do. If I want a competitive spirit, I always have places for that.

Styles of famous artists

My criterion for evaluating AI work is recognition. If I recognize the artist's style, then this picture is here. Promt was the same everywhere. Only the artist/style were different

1. Ivan Aivazovsky

I don't know what to comment on here. Only Aivazovsky himself could convey Aivazovsky's style better than Bing. This is my favorite artist. I "feel" his paintings. I've seen them live many times. They don't just convey a real atmosphere. They are more than real. They are tangible. The Aivazovsky-style painting was the first image I generated using AI.

2. Francisco Goya

While my main criterion when working with Aivazovsky was the landscape, with Goya I focused on character. I think the girl captured the spirit of the era depicted in Francis's paintings.

3. Salvador Dali

I'm also very pleased with Bing's work here. As well as with Salvador Dali's works.

4. Vincent van Gogh

It's understandable that AI has difficulties working with such styles. But nevertheless…

5. Wassily Kandinsky

I found it odd that Bing had such difficulty recognizing the style of the founder of abstract art. On the other hand, Kandinsky's paintings are extremely diverse, and it's truly difficult to formulate a "template." I tried to choose what best matches his style. The DreamUP AI worked perfectly with Kandinsky's style. When this AI worked.

I cosplayed one of his works for a challenge on DeviantArt.(

Abstraction

Since Bing learns from images it's just generated, including similar prompts, at a certain point the styles started to blend. It was just an abstraction, with no author or style, no matter what I specified in the prompt.

Conclusions:

AIs recognize many artists. But not all. And different AIs recognize different artists. For example, Monet's style didn't work. And Rembrandt didn't work because Bing learn from previously generated images. It wasn't Rembrandt anymore. Kandinsky's style was once perfect and instantly recognizable in DreamUp. That's no longer the case.

As for "non-classical, non-realistic styles" (abstraction, surrealism, etc.), things are a bit more complicated. The AI ​​usually draws the main character in a standard style, or as close to realism as possible. But the background and landscape are quite a decent match to the specified style. So, in this case, to fully replicate the style of such an artist, it's necessary to completely rework (simplify, remove details) the prompt. Or create a new one. (You won't get a painting in the style of Malevich if you add "Malevich" to the current prompt) Moreover, this was absolutely not part of the initial assignment.

I haven't used any other AI for this task except Bing on Dall-E3 and DreamUp. But I don't think anything will change radically without changing the prompt.

Thanks to everyone who scrolled to the end :) I wish you creative success!

Happy End
