Better result than I expected.

I've been using the various available Text2Img AI to build a collection of art illustrating the struggles of addiction, expecially concerning the current Fentanyl epidemic and the depression and desperation that comes along with being trapped into that addiction as the drug literally kills other users around you and you continue to use unable to break the cycle you're trapped in. These feelings and emotions are so hard to convey and they are also very uniquely human experiences. It has amazed me how well AI (with some patience and proper guidance) has been able to capture it and create pieces of art to represent it.

I fed one of these images into this AI to see what would happen. The image shows a young lady who has been through some sort of light physical trauma struggling with the comfort, relief and further lose of herself associated with using the drugs and medicines available to her.
And, wow... I'm pretty impressed. There is a definate rave influence I would associate with the various bottles of drugs and medicines with unsettling undertones of dark disomfort and unease.

I'd rate it a solid 8.5/10 for intelligently adding to the piece in a meaningful way.

This image of a lone pile of powder on a desolate landscape generated an audio track reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails during Trent's more expiremental phases and did seem to capture the feeling of isolation. Considering there wasn't a lot to work with for this image, I give it at 7/10.

This image is from a set of very similar images depicting the main subject in increasing states of decay and aging and is one of my favorite sets in the whole collection so far. The man has had the top of his head removed, presumably to discard his mind/brain. He is visibly aging at a seemingly rapid pace while showing signs of imaciation and malnutrition. His face is locked in a state of contented sadness as he holds a large pile of Fentanyl.

I have to say, this one surprised me the most. As I listened to the music and looked at the picture it seemed to capture the emotion and feel while adding a new layer of depth to the experience in a way that I can't fully understand or put words to... it just... is exactly how that scene should sound I suppose. 10/10.
