LORD OF WAR, MEET LORD OF TOKENS: TORTURE-TESTING IMAGE MODELS ON DESIGN-AGENCY GRADE WORK

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

The poster for 'Lord of War', which depicts an image of Nicholas Cage comprised of bullets, is a masterclass in compositing. A team of designers likely had to manually source images of bullets, match the lighting of the individual bullets with the shadows on the face, and arrange thousands of shell casings to form a recognizable human face. That level of skill was rare in 2005. This article explores whether AI can redesign a similar 'Lord of Tokens' image with GPU dies and silicon wafers constituting Jensen Huang's face.
