I still think the AI is sourcing Steam Punk reference material, more than actual steam mechanics, to make its "Best Guess" simulations?!?!

The detail in the AI models is quite interesting.

That first image would be the 1890's Crabfu version of a Steam Donkey!   ;c)

AI is going to be a shake up for a lot of industries and how a lot of folks have earned a living.

I know a graphic designer that graduated in 2006 and still has $28k college debt. They pay almost $400/month, half goes to interest alone and they are out of work because of AI

It's going to be a challenge for a lot of folks. Virtually any image copyright free in an instant.

Photo realistic -

Looks like AI may have drawn from the "Steam Punk" archives as much as from actual steam museum material, but indeed you are correct, rather impressive lifelike images were created!

I've been mucking around with AI for awhile and its steadily improving, some images you wouldn't pick from real professionally photographed images.

Now there is definitely some mechanical miscalculations in the below images....BUT the detail is absolutely incredible for simply asking for images of 'Stationary Steam Engine Models' from a rather niche subject -
