The idea quickly came to me to stage a <strong>author<\/strong> facing a <strong>mirror<\/strong> reflecting two versions of himself: one drastically thin, the other visibly overweight. Scratching his head, the author, standing next to his <strong>work table<\/strong>, asks: what strategy to adopt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">THE <strong>theme<\/strong> seemed to me well served by this <strong>allegory<\/strong>. So I asked my <strong>virtual friend<\/strong>, L&#039;<strong>AI<\/strong>, so that it generates a <strong>hyperrealistic scene<\/strong> corresponding to this vision. We first exchanged to check that he understood my request. He drew the following written description from it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Realistic scene to generate:<\/strong><br>The man, in a suit, cigar in his mouth, stands in front of a large full-length mirror.<br>On the table next to it: handwritten sheets of paper and a quill pen in an inkwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>In the mirror:<\/strong><br>\u2022 Left: A slimmer version of himself in a suit (slim silhouette).<br>\u2022 In the center: a more corpulent version in costume (larger silhouette).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Himself (right, outside the mirror)<\/strong> : medium build, observing the scene thoughtfully, scratching his head.<br>All three men have the same face (suggesting that they are one and the same person in different states).<br>All three are holding a lit cigar, with visible smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">No lie, I battled for hours with the<strong>AI<\/strong> to obtain a <strong>picture<\/strong> corresponding to my <strong>vision<\/strong>. And yet, the end result isn&#039;t exactly what I had in mind. Between responses like &quot;I can&#039;t generate this image because it violates our content policies&quot; and the misinterpretations, it&#039;s clear that it&#039;s particularly difficult to obtain a scene that seemed simple to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So I am making serious <strong>doubts<\/strong> on the <strong>ability<\/strong> of the tool to faithfully respond to requests. Perhaps I did not go about it in the best way, or perhaps another <strong>LLM<\/strong> (generation model of<strong>images<\/strong>) would have been more suitable. It&#039;s possible. But given the billions of dollars invested in my <strong>virtual friend<\/strong>, I doubt its competitors can do much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Moreover, this difficulty in carrying out this <strong>visual project<\/strong> is not an isolated case: I have encountered it many times, at least in the field of <strong>image generation<\/strong>. On the other hand, I have no doubt that in the long term - probably soon - these imperfections will be corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Below I offer you a selection of a dozen<strong>images<\/strong>, among the thirty that I asked him to generate to get closer to my objective. Small note: when the <strong>image generation<\/strong> deviated too much, I started from scratch in a new <strong>conversation session<\/strong>, without any history to avoid interference with previous exchanges and <strong>images<\/strong> produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In <strong>conclusion<\/strong> : from my point of view, the <strong>graphic designers<\/strong> still have some good days ahead of them. But who knows how quickly <strong>AI<\/strong> will take over - and, why not, transform a <strong>novel<\/strong> in <strong>comic strip<\/strong>\u2026(my dream).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" data-id=\"1423\" src=\"https:\/\/laurentchani.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/@Big-Daddy-76-P-1.jpg\" alt=\"The author sees three representations of himself in the mirror: one fat, one thin, and a third unwanted one.
