Streetcar Sundays – Special Edition

Did you ever wonder what it might have looked like if you ever saw a performance of ‘Men are like Streetcars’ in person? Well, today I hope to fill your imaginative minds with that possibility.

Using an old Men are like Streetcars spanking image, I sat down at my pc and began to work towards building an AI-generated version of what the scene might look like.

To start with, you have to grab an image that is really poor in quality, one where you can barely see what is going on. It may surprise you, but those types of pictures are much better for creating new work. Just as long as you can see all of the limbs, or at least be able to indicate where the limbs are, your chances of success are much higher.

As always, this image is big, so to see the full-sized version you have to click on the image itself.

If you have the basics down, you can then write the code that you want to create the baseline image. It is always best to get a baseline, and if you like the first generation where you can see the possibilities, you should grab it. It is always best for the AI to modify a pic than it is to get the glory shot in one coded entry.

The reason that I mention this is because when I got the first generation of this pic, half of the man’s jacket was made out of the dress the woman is wearing. My first port of call was to change the color of her dress to something brighter, which then made it easier to direct the AI that the jacket needed to be modified.

There were little knick-knacks that I won’t bore you with, but you have to finetune it, sometimes manually, and this is what I ended up with.

Is it perfect? Absolutely not. When trying to fix it, though, the potential to make it worse is high, so sometimes it is best to accept what you have.

Let me point out the errors in my image today, because you might not notice them otherwise.

Part of the woman’s dress is on her chin, however, that one you can get away with because it also looks like a necklace. The sofa looks decent, right? That is until you notice it has no cushions against the backboard. I have a couch with a wooden backboard, lol.

Finally, most people won’t see this unless I point it out to them, because naturally their eyes are elsewhere. For the second guy in the image, he has one role, to put his hand on the shoulder of the seated man. If you look closely enough, though, his hand is *IN* the shoulder of the seated man. This was a case of better the devil you know, because trying to change limbs is the hardest part of AI.

This was created from a Men are like Streetcars spanking pic, hence why I added it as a Men are like Streetcars entry.

  1. Outstanding. Thanks for directing us to the flaws as you mentioned the dress at the chin did look like a locket. The furniture v was less a problem because I was looking at the spanking itself. As for the last I don’t pay that much attention to witnesses to spankings although if I can’t be a spanker I would love to be a witness. I do Love the colors and of course I love any otk the best. I do Love the commentary also as it does make the background better (when I was a collector it was just the spanking I was looking for) so thanks for sharing and have a great day.

  2. Jim,

    What I really like about this one is the way that I configured the lighting. I think it captures the ambience just right. Just for the record, that 1950s ‘housewife’ one in the red skirt, that was also a Men are like Streetcars pic at one time. 😉 There are so many great opportunities because it is the really bad pics that are the best ones for this purpose. If the image is too good, then the AI doesn’t see much to change, but if it is a bad pic then I have the freedom to change whatever I want.
