    I never realized until a couple of days ago, how good AI image generation can be.

    Here are a few I asked it to create:

    A Br Class 47:

    Another one, but with a fictional livery. A mix between German and Dutch:

    Now a Class 66 with the same livery:

    Now the same Class 66, with almost the same livery, different station:

    Now a Dutch Koploper:

    Now the Network Rail New Measurement Train — the bright-yellow HST “Flying Banana.”

    Now a close up of a BR Class 350: (This one doesn't look quite right)

    All these are done with the "image generator pro" in the ChatGPT app on Windows. (Free version)

    Yes, it got that slightly wrong, also there's the "Avandi"

    And then there's this version of the Koploper

    I don't see the relevance to TSW.

    Looks like AI also struggled with LNWR's licence!

    What is the nameplate on the first 47 even supposed to say? And why does it have holes in it where a piece is missing? The platform by the 66 looks like it almost goes under the train at the rear, and is at ground level. Avandi as people have mentioned. It's a little hard to tell, but the coaches behind the 43 look like they don't have any doors. The front of the Pendolino looks off, and isn't the 350 supposed to have a gangway? On the last image with the Kopopler, again, the platform appears to be ground level.

    As much as I hate generative AI and anything that has to do with it, even I can't deny that AI has improved with the close-up shots. The wide-angle pictures and the backgrounds are still quite bad, and AI still has trouble with perspective, but it has... improved... a little. And I fear it will only get better as time goes on...

    Agreed. Should be in Off Topic.
