Completely AI generated, this portrait was created from a Stable Diffusion model trained on 70 pieces from the original Confabulated series. A process that evolved over the course of 12 months: Mixing Kodak slide photography and several different text2image AI models, the hope is to create a 100% generative image with "soul". Decades of history and shared experience are the birthplace of this portrait, something deeper than the prompt is the goal.
