I wonder if you can ask it to describe an artist's style, and then use that description in a subsequent prompt for image generation.

I asked GPT4 to give me prompt terms ideal for Thomas Kinkade > To evoke the style of Thomas Kinkade in a chat prompt, one might use descriptions like "radiant warmth," "soft-edged realism," and "gentle natural light." His paintings often conveyed a sense of bucolic perfection and peaceful retreats, featuring cozy cottages, flourishing gardens, and tranquil waters. The scenes are typically bathed in the golden light of dawn or the rosy hues of dusk, with a magical, almost ethereal quality to the light that seems to emanate from within the scene itself. The colors would be described as vibrant yet soft, with a harmonious palette that creates a nostalgic and dreamlike atmosphere. Using the terms provided, without mentioning the artist, Dalle3 spit out: https://i.imgur.com/10pr0A9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/10pr0A9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kG4Mapf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kG4Mapf.jpg The two prompts I used were [note: I picked a scene / location]: "generate an image for this prompt: "bucolic perfection, cozy cottages, flourishing gardens, radiant warmth, soft-edged realism, gentle natural light, bathed in rosy hues of dusk, vibrant soft colors" "generate an image for this prompt: "bucolic perfection, new york city, autumn, flourishing trees, radiant warmth, soft-edged realism, gentle natural light, bathed in rosy hues of dusk, vibrant soft colors" Seems to get you pretty close to the style of Kinkade with very little prompt effort.

  It's not spot on but I would say that if you squint you can see where it's going there.

It's terrible at that. I experimented with having GPT-4 describe Bob Ross's style(prompting for Bob Ross directly is forbidden). The model diligently described technique(wet-on-wet), stylistic elements(soft, blended edges), and themes(tranquil landscape, rich natural colors). It then failed spectacularly at recreating the style. There may be a way to craft a prompt that does recreate a specific artist's style, but having an LLM do it is not yet in the realm of possibility,

  In what manner do you feel GPT is terrible at it? I asked it to describe prompt terms for Bob Ross, based on his style. I then took those terms and formed a simple prompt - generate an image using this prompt please: "tranquil scenic landscape, wet paint style, puffy clouds, serene lake, distant mountain, trees, harmonious, earthy, natural beauty, wilderness, calm gentle realism, peaceful, pristine" It spit out these images: https://i.imgur.com/P01OAIh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/P01OAIh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/99O8S5J.jpg https://i.imgur.com/99O8S5J.jpg Took a couple of minutes. With a very small amount of effort it'll get you close to the style of Bob Ross. There are unique keywords it associates with Ross that it'll refuse to work with, apparently, "fluffy clouds" perhaps was one (it refused when I used that initially, along with "wet-on-wet paint style"). With a little adjustment you can likely fully get around that.

    Those just look like AI images with brush lines.

      Yeah it took minutes to do. If you spend even a small amount of time, 30 minutes say, it wouldn't be difficult to improve the outcome significantly. There's nothing extraordinary about the style of Bob Ross. He isn't famous for producing astounding artwork, he's famous for his speech tone (comforting), instruction (audience being able to quasi follow along at home) and that he produced peaceful natural scenes. There's nothing about his painting style that Dalle3 isn't going to be able to recreate to a high degree. How much time are you willing to invest into the prompting? If you're a big Bob Ross fan, I would think spending a small amount of time to get a highly effective prompt would be worth the ability to endlessly produce new artwork that reminds you of his style. It's very clearly feasible at this point.
