Image inspired by the movie 2001 : A Space Odyssey.

Prompt used for this image

A barren, prehistoric landscape at sunrise, with a group of primitive apes gathered around a towering and immaculate black monolith. The monolith is smooth, without a single dent, of a perfect black colour. The apes’ expressions varying between excitement, curiosity, and fear, some apes excitedly raising their hands in the air while others cautiously observe or shrink back in fright.

Theme

    Most hosted AI image generators didn’t wanna make this, so I had to use grok, which is shitty.

    prompt

    Create an image in the style of a still frame from a movie. In the frame the Whitehouse is exploding in a great fireball, with splintered wood flying through the air. An enormous city sized flying saucer is hovering above the Whitehouse, firing a blue beam into the Whitehouse, which is what caused the explosion. The flying saucer is very detailed and covered with greebles. The Whitehouse is exploding into pieces. The scene is at night, lit by the explosion fireball. The perspective is from the Whitehouse front lawn.
