Engine Related AI Images
« on: February 09, 2026, 01:48:25 pm »
First picture:  I asked Meta AI to make a picture of an 1890s hybrid gas steam hot air engine.

Second picture: I asked Meta Pro AI to make a picture of 1890s hybrid gas steam diesel stirling cycle engine.

Add your own engine related AI art to this thread. 
Include yourself in the picture if you'd like to.

Scary good AI pix.  AI already has it own 'AI ENTITIES ONLY' website.
They 'discuss' things......

In the second one, shouldn't the 'belt' in the foreground have teeth?
It looks like it is running over two large gears to the right.

AI error...or not?

The real problem with the belt in the second picture is that those two gears are meshed and will be running on opposite directions!

It does look as though the belt is on a smooth pulley outside of the gear teeth on the lower gear, but is definitely draped over the gear teeth on the upper.

Not just opposite directions but different speeds, too.

I know what it is...AI SteamPunk!  I'll bet AI's code
just purred when looking back and regarding its work.

Very soon it will be an actual physical cyber-entity of
some sort stepping back to regard its work at a gallery
showing its work...for sale to humans.
