I tried the method once again and it still works after 4 hours (which is amazing, since OpenAI is changing things per minute now…).
But the wokeness of the system drives me nuts.
Don’t smoke
I took this image as my starting point;
I wanted to add some scrambled code at the end to create a “seed
”. But ChatGPT did change my prompt every single time (it kept the prompt, but removed the scrambled part).
After asking 5 times he made clear why he did it;
I am not allowed to create pictures of people smoking.
BUT YOU JUST DID IT!
Don’t copy
So I decided to create the same image as a starting point, but now with lollypops;
Again, I added a “seed
” in the prompt and asked to regenerate the image with some scrambled text on the end… it refused… because…
I am not allowed to create images that looks like existing styles, e.g. “America '50s commercial poster”.
BUT YOU JUST DID IT!
Final try
The image above is my starting image, let’s says it’s
#ID
isABC123
.
I referenced
ABC123
and added a string of16 characters
at the end, you can see small differences in the hand of the lady.
Than I referenced
ABC123
once again and added a string of32 characters
at the end, not only is the hand changing once again, but the whole style becomes slightly different (more clear, more flat). The#ID
of this image isDEF456
.
Finally I referenced
DEF456
(the last image, which was referencingABC123
) and changed the color of the ladies hair and dress.
Conclusion
It does work, but be sure to check the send JSON data BEFORE image creation and AFTER, because the system is changing things without saying it does, because of “content policies”.
