A newer piece of mine utilizing Stable Diffusion and a ton of the excellent tools surrounding it. With the newer AI image generation tools, I quickly realized that creating realistic things that don't exist is pretty easy. Overall, though, this piece took something like seven hours: most of it was inpainting and getting the base image to look passable. I did spend a fair bit of time adding cool little elements to the graphic design, though, including the Cyclist Records logo, which is a bit of a parody of the Moon Records logo from that time.
While not as much of a community favorite, I still think this is a cool showcase of how AI can help create believable artifacts from a bygone era that are total fabrications. If anything, the irony of that simple fact is something I find fits in well with many of the ironic undertones of vaporware.
