In the digital age, where the boundaries between reality and fiction are increasingly blurred, a new creation emerges: a series of photographs depicting a married couple in conflict, so lifelike that they could be mistaken for real. These images, created using advanced artificial intelligence Midjourney 5.2 in the autumn of 2023, were specifically designed for a YouTube channel to serve as creative thumbnails for their videos.
The request was clear: to capture the essence of the evening light and create a subtly uneasy, cinematic atmosphere that would evoke a sense of tension and emotional charge between the partners. The result is a collection of images where every pixel tells a story - from the shadows cast upon the faces of the entangled couple in conflict to the delicate details that depict their domestic environment, all emphasizing the weight of the moment.
At the time these images were created, they were considered the pinnacle of what AI could offer in terms of realistic portrayal. However, with constant advancements in technology, achieving an even higher level of realism is now possible. With tools like StyleTuner or the latest version of Midjourney, scenes could be created that would be even more indistinguishable from reality.
This collection of photographs serves as a reminder of how far we have come in simulating human emotions and situations, while also giving us a glimpse into the future where the possibilities of AI and artistic creation are practically limitless.
