For the white paper on eVTOL I put together I decided to use AI generated art. Finding copyright free images is always difficult and I did not want to use pictures of actual eVTOLs. This was to avoid singling out any particular project in what is a criticism of the whole sector. This led me down a rabbit hole of the astonishing (and slightly spooky) capabilities of AI art. Since I have done this I have started to recognize it being used occasionally in commercial journalism
The images below were all generated for free using Microsoft Bing AI Art generation (https://www.bing.com/images/create?FORM=GENILP) and Gencraft (https://gencraft.com/generate) I tried a lot of free generators and I found these two were the best for what I was doing.
Below are some of the more interesting and wilder examples – starting with the Gencraft set. I will show the text prompt that generated the image above the image. These are in general order of complexity.

And finally a couple of fun things.
