Prompt: In the lush embrace of nature-reclaimed ruins, where towering buildings are now mere skeletons draped in a verdant shroud, a family gathers as twilight breathes life into flickering flames. Amidst the broken echoes of a bygone civilization, the elders speak of ancient times, their voices weaving tales into the tapestry of the night. Children huddle close, their eyes wide with wonder as they listen to legends of the "doom scrollers"—mysterious talismans said to have once connected minds across vast distances but ultimately led humanity astray. The elders recount how these "doom scrollers," with their enchanting glow, cast a spell of discord and distraction, drawing people into a web of "instant whispers" and "ghostly gatherings" until they forgot the world around them, bringing about their downfall. As the fire crackles, the cautionary tale of lost connections to the earth and each other becomes a shared memory, a history passed down through spoken word in this new Stone Age of man.

Just adding a comment here as well, in case you missed the announcement on top.
This challenge is over and you've won! I'm sorry it's a bit anticlimactic, but our challenge's host seems to have disappeared. You won by having the most upvotes.
Feel free to start a new challenge whenever you're ready. I know a lot of us are looking forward to it :)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Thank you, will do!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

As a suggestion, can we get a sticky post with all the past entries so we don't have to add them here and then we can just link to that post? I have tried to copy/paste and I end up having to re-link them all manually and it's a real pain. Plus the top post is getting pretty long now. Thoughts?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Sure, I can imagine it being a drag having to reformat and repost all those links. Just leave them out and I’ll write a sticky post with all the previous entries.
It should be fun to win, not an admin chore :)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Sweet! Thank you!!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

You're welcome! :)

EDIT: Who is downvoting every post?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Others are being down voted too, maybe someone who hates AIart? I dunno.

The image is fantastic, midjourney is getting so good and you use the tool well. I want to see this movie!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Thanks my friend!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Only upvotes are counted for the scoring

if they're using a bot, they're wasting energy. if they're a "who", they're wasting their time.

  • p.s.
  • dear downVoter, my dear trolling unfriendly idiot, (nudge, nudge)
  • if you really want to mess with this challenge, you have to send arbitrary upvotes ;)

Prompt: Create a masterpiece with a dark, mysterious overhead view of a Vast room of uninteresting, unkept, people sitting at desks staring blankly a computer monitor with their hands on keyboards, the desks are arranged like large armies. All the people have large cables coming from behind their backs connecting them to a graphical representation of sentient AI that is being powered by the humans typing.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Feels like an old school Apple commercial, like that Superbowl one from forever ago. Fantastic!

Thanks! It came out even better than I originally imagined lol

Prompt: aerial view of a dystopian city with streets, highways, parking lots filled with cars and traffic jams, with a woman flying in an orange-grey wingsuit in the foreground

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

That's awesome, the way his legs are spread is a little disconcerting though lol

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yes, also the arms are somewhat overlong. That's a wingsuit specialist for sure 😊 Must know the area very well to land somewhere, too.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Let's just ignore all that and focus on what a traffic jam would look like there instead lol

Ah, that's me in 30 years.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

It is actually quite cool to be able to travel virtually when my body is no longer capable. The technology will have advanced dramatically in 2 decades.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Oh it’s certainly cool, but only as an accessory to a meaningful reality not as a substitute for one.

It's been 9 days since the challenge has opened. I think it's about time to wrap it up and start giving everyone their points?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

we may need a clear guide to define deadlines (Saturday to Saturday?)

downvotes don't count, so don't bother

and no sailorMoon 😉

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Hey, not cool.

But I think since there is often time between one ending and the next starting it becomes fuzzy.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

The rules are clearly stated in the post. A challenge runs for seven days. I can imagine some of us have busy lives, so it’s ok if it runs a bit late. But it’s weekend now, and I figure a little public reminder might speed things up :)

The rules also say that the most upvoted image gets points, but it is a bit childish to downvote everyone. Whoever you are, you don’t need to be here. Go out and enjoy some fresh air :)

And I don’t know what poor @[email protected] would do if Sailor Moon is banned :) I will say though that the rules clearly say one image per post. So maybe next time stick to one and put the rest in a reply?

I tend to rely on the winner to organize and run the challenge. But I could take a more active hand in this if need be.

Their profile has been deleted by the looks of it.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

You got lots of downvotes, but actually not too far from reality.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

facial recognition in public space too was an element from dystopian fiction. Today it's active in our cities
