10 AI Prompts For Realistic Photography Portraits

A Collection of AI-Generated Images from Prompt Lists

This story was written with the assistance of an AI writing program.

I am continuing to explore how to create images using Artificial Intelligence. Searching online I found some prompt lists for Stable Diffusion (interesting this one which contains 100 examples). I want to report some of the more interesting prompts for future reference.

To discover these prompts I used a lot of Lexica Art. I already talked about it, it is a search engine for images generated by artificial intelligences. If I search for national geographic, portrait, photo, photography I find these images.

It is incredible that they are all the result of algorithms and not of human genius.
