I was curious what would happen if I combined two AI programs. - the initial image was created with Dream WOMBO and now I went through 2 cycles of Deep Dream with it. Since I like to preserve a good part of the initial image, I am not going any deeper.
Initial image created in DreamWOMBO: https://app.wombo.art/
second steps in DEEP DREAM: https://deepdreamgenerator.com/
These are AI programs: https://www.britannica.com/technology/artificial-intelligence
But this was just the first stroke - I have now mirrored the results after additional Photoshop manipulations, and added two separate selfie images from Deep Dream which I generated with two different styles - in this case using a psychedelic drawing for one and a acrylic painting for the other cloned in image.

here I had already done some additional work in PhotoshopIMAGES I WORKED WITH

DRAGON TALES in DEEP DREAM
this is the one I started with in Dream WOMBO
Here is a hint: I found if I used profanity in the text to generate the image, it seemed to yield better results
not just this time, but every time I tried it. The template I used was Steam Punk
I don't know, maybe I went a little over board, but just generating something by entering a sentence, with results in seconds, is maybe a interesting game to play, but there should be more to that, like, a bit of artistic input beyond that.
Chasing the results through Deep Dream was one way, and then manipulating it in Photoshop I could get some more interesting results.
Maybe I could have milked these images for additional posts, but again, that is not me. Somehow they hang all together in the process which eventually wound up to be the lead image I posted.
