On my Philosophics Blog, I share my experience using Midjourney’s image-to-video feature. In that article, I discuss some benefits and limitations of Midjourney. This is an adjacent discussion.
The clip above was an image I generated about a year ago – a steampunk girl on the left battling a cybermech whatever. This is ostensibly the prompt I used.
cinematic photograph, a pale young European steampunk woman meets a steampunk ninja villain woman dressed in black with mechanical armsI forgot about the ninja part, hence the black outfit.
tl;dr: When I prompted Midjourney to animate the two, rather than a vicious fight to the death, I got a tender dance and race to the bed. I made that last part up. Watch for yourself.
Now, I am left wondering if I should pursue a trope of a woman falling in love with another cyber-woman. Has this been done?
It would undoubtedly be genre fiction – whether sci-fi, steampunk, or erotica remains to be seen. Perhaps more of a manga.
This isn’t my space, so I’m being facetious, but I can still imagine the implications.
