Maybe you could have it design a "modern" 914 with an aircooled motor?

The huge opening in the front hints of some kind of water pumper motor & doesn't look right. Looks more like a Fiero GT (not that there's anything wrong with that).



DALL-E just doesn’t work like that at the moment. It would start again from scratch and one would probably not like something else in that iteration. It’s the nature of its input— textually description only, no starting images. And, further, you could give it the exact same text over and over and never repeat the design given.

Hmmm, last i used DALL-E, you could pick an image, erase a certain portion of it and ask it to redo that portion with something else, preserving the rest of the image.

Here you go, i uploaded an image i had created earlier (the one on the left), selected "Edit" from the menu, erased the face part and asked it to replace the face with an older looking one.

In the second rendering , the upper picture looks too much like a 911. The lower one is better, but the windshield opening is too rounded, and looks too much like a 356 roof line. It also needs a more pronounced targa band.

I would love to see the rear of these.

Even if they built it, it would be half again bigger than a 914. Nobody builds small, light cars like a 914 anymore.

If you want an example of this, look at the original Mini vs the new Mini. The new one is quite a bit bigger.

Ain’t that the sad truth!

very very well done! Keeps the essence of the 914 design, while blending in nicely with the porsche lineup. I would purchase one!

I wonder if it would even be possible with today's impact requirements. Cars just seem to have to look 'bulbous' rather than sleek. The fiat 124 and Miata are as close as it comes to 'small and sleek' but they are still pretty bulbous. Even the new corvette has a big rear too.

I guess we should expect posts about AI derived cars as a semi-regular thing now.

yeeeep, as an automotive artist and designer, AI fills me with fear and hatred, haha. Even being particularly skilled in 3D and rendering, I can't create the CAD and output a render anywhere even close to what AI is running around with now.

On the flip side, I have much more control over the details.

Of the AI things I've seen, they all pretty much give a really nice and beautiful "big picture" but once you start looking at the details it all falls apart. AI is powerful, but I've sworn off using it, at least for now. I try to exercise my own creativity.

After seeing the two different illustrations it came up with it looks like AI is a better "back of napkin" sketch pad.

The number of quick napkin sketches I've seen from my dad is un-countable.

Everything STARTS from a napkin sketch...

Being able to refine the napkin sketch is where the art is!

This does not appear to be refinable.

It produces something new every time.

Still way cool, just not useable for extensive reworking.

Dad and I have been arguing about a retro-modern 916 nose cap for the front of the car.

His designs are too sharp-nosed IMO, and the one on the silver illustration is FAR more like what I wanted in the first place.

Imagine something like that but with a tiny bit more 916 in it.
Slightly more angle on the bottom of the side pods and a bit smaller grill maybe.

I'm fine with the "water pumper" look as the "916 clone" will be water cooled.

Thats what I'm after...

The first illustration really looks "Porsche" to me.

Back to in period “modern”. I think this interpretation is way cool.
