  • I had the AI parse the image

    Using AI, I was able to take some old painting and make it better.

    First the painting. Notice how you can barely see what's even going
    on. Where even is this? Who are the people? Huh? You're too far away
    to really see the setup. Whole left side blank. Nothing here to grab
    onto.


    I had the AI parse the image, & create a full description of it. Using
    that description, I had it regenerate an image and it was just way
    better. Instead of night, it's a gorgeous sunny day. It went ahead &
    moved the people outside. Everyone's smiling; this is a welcoming
    place.

    Footnote


    It is important to note that Hopper painted Nighthawks two years after
    the outbreak of World War II.

    What does Edward Hopper symbolize in Nighthawks?

    Alienation

    In particular, Hopper deliberately inflects Nighthawks with the uneasy
    feelings of dislocation that came about across much of society as a
    result of war. Hopper draws us to war's dwindling effect on the
    population by emphasizing the empty streets beyond the diner.
