The second image looks too unnatural to me. My expectations are dashed. An interesting element, though, is the change I'm the spoon's composition from good to bronze.
Some might argue the best part of abstract art is how unnatural it can feel. Taking something realistic and changing the usual perspective. Although not really the most drastic of before/after differences the subtle changes seemed to be the most appropriate for this piece.
Thanks to @rufusfirefly

This two pictures show how the same object turns abstract with an intelligent view..... Very good job! Well done! Thank you for sharing and this chance to win!
Looks cool. The coffee cup would be a nice illustration in a book. I've been absent socializing for a while. I hope you are doing alright. It's nice to see you posting.
I think I came by this technology some months ago and was stunned by the results of AI composed pictures. After reflecting a bit on it I wondered weather these kinds of developments would actually threaten the jobs of creative people. A strange thought at first because it always seemed intuitively preposterous to suggest that artists could lose their jobs due to AI. Sure, AI was well underway of getting a foothold in areas of autonomic driving or automation processes, but the creative realm?!
There are many artists who actually work this way. Taking pictures and edit them to create a slightly or completely altered version of the original image. So what does an artist do in this workflow? What is the creative part of him or her or to put it in another way: can AI's be creative?
I think here is the difference. AI's might be able to create fantastic art which is very well comparable to human artists, but in the end it is still programmed to do this. An artist should be able to provoke the observer, should be able to make a person think which is something that comes about from a creative insight. Can AI's have creative insights? I doubt it. But that doesn't necessarily mean that their art is worse or not creative (the very word creative suggests a process of creation).
I guess in the end it also comes down to what such art does with the observer. If it has provoked, conveyed a creative insight, then it does not really matter if it is from an AI or a human artist. I guess we will have to wait if the museums of tomorrow will house the next Picasso reincarnated in an AI.
All of these thoughts have occurred to me as well. I haven't encountered anyone yet who flat out expressed their opinion that AI art is not 'real art'...but this is bound to happen eventually.
Using this kind of technology to compose artistic creations is newer territory. The way I see it...using a program that happens to be AI to generate details...is not much different from using an editor like Adobe or Paintshop Pro. These are highly respected programs that also perform actions based on human input and no one questions the authenticity of what they produce.
Some people seem to think that using the dream generator is super easy and basically effortless. While you can get some 'good' results within minutes...it does take quite a bit of work to get 'great' results. I follow a pattern which is the very essence of programming the computer to achieve a similar result each time.
Because of the amount of post processing required to bring the standard of quality up...I consider this artwork a collaboration and a very entertaining and fulfilling one at that. It will be fascinating to see how the climate and perception changes and like you say...how future museums and collectors will value AI assisted art!
I have three impressions--the longer I looked the more my view of the abstract morphed. The final was that the cup(and saucer) and the background had somehow merged and the cup was in danger of sinking into the background. In the first picture the cup and saucer seem distinct from it.
My second impression (forgive me) was of a kind of overgrowth by a microorganism, sort of a cubic biofilm that colonized everything.
My first impression reminded me of parched skin, like the cracking earth of an arid desert. The swirling effect kind of negated that sense as I looked more closely.
That's it... if I looked longer I'd see more. But I'll stop now.
An interesting picture.

I like, what software did you use?
I actually used five different types of software...two of which are online editors. Will write a post about them sometime! :)

Thank you for your comment... :)
You just planted 0.03 tree(s)!

The before image is great, but WOW, the second image looks ... magical. Thanks for sharing your art work. Have a blessed day!
Thank you! Magical is a very good impression to make... :D
Firstly, I thought it is a drawing... Secondly, it looks like a table napkin.. :)
And finally, the spoon is so sharp that it looks magically.. it reminded me on the movie Matrix... "there is no spoon" thing..
Keep up the good work!
Loving the matrix reference...it never occurred to me but the sense of bending reality certainly fits the mood of the piece. Thank you :)

Thank you...an illustration book would be lovely. It's not always easy to be social...lol. <3 <3 <3
