Storytelling art with AI

I’ve been experimenting a great deal with midjourney lately, and I decided to post some of my Storyworth responses into it to see what it would generate.

Storyworth is a great site that you can share with your loved ones to “preserve meaningful moments and memories in a beautiful keepsake book.” I purchased for my mom and I decided to try it myself. It sends you prompts/questions that loved ones can use to share stories about their lives. Some you may look at and say “Wow, that’s a great question.”

Anyway, these are what were generated when I gave Midjourney a response for:

Where did you go on vacations as a child?

4 images generated by artificial intelligence of images in the Caribbean

What was your first big trip?

4 images generated by artificial intelligence of landscapes

What was your Mom like when you were a child?

4 images generated by artificial intelligence representing a strong mother

Interestingly enough, it didn’t make my mom Black. So I tried again:

What was your first boss like?

What is one of your favorite children’s stories?

What is one of your fondest childhood memories?

What is one of the most beautiful places you’ve ever been?

What was the first meal you ever cooked successfully?

How far back can you trace your family ancestry?

If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be?

What do you think? Where do you think I can take this?
