Five Hundred Consecutive Nightcafe Creations
Thoughts On My Nightcafe AI Art
Introduction
I use Nightcafe to generate 90% of the pictures I use for my Vocal stories and it was to combat charges of plagiarism and stealing that I started doing it.
Today I "created" my five-hundredth creation in a row, mainly because they have daily challenges and I also publish Vocal stories on a daily basis.
This was the image for a "Dandelion" challenge.
My Nightcafe Creations
I thought for five-hundred in a row I would get an extra points reward or some badge, but nothing unusual happened.
Nightcafe keeps "encouraging" me to take out a paid subscription, which would give me access to more models and styles, but I always want to create something quickly so the free ones are more than adequate for me.
Also, they give you free credits for logging in, sharing and placing in challenges, and most ones I create cost me between half and four credits, with an extra three credits to improve the quality (which I need to do for the ones I share on Pixabay). My current balance is close to five thousand credits so I certainly don't need to pay to create.
I am not an artist, but I can put in the words to let Nightcafe generate some incredible images. There are times when Nightcafe just will not generate something that I want, but it is a bit like searching on Google, Vocal or Bing, sometimes you find the right thing, sometimes what you are looking for doesn't turn up, so I then go to Pixabay and usually find something.
So, even though I am still criticized for taking bread out of the mouths of the families of real artists, I know I am not. If there was nothing like Nightcafe I would look for free images, I can't afford to pay another artist, though I do support them in any way I can.

Art For Art's Sake
Introduction I was just thinking of all the artists I know, as well as writers, and though none of them are nationally famous, thanks to being able to share pieces like this on Vocal I can give a little shout-out to them. This will be mainly visual artists.

The Best Philosophy in the World Is the One You Can Live
Ask ten philosophers what the best philosophy in the world is, and you will receive at least ten different answers—possibly delivered with footnotes, counterarguments, and mild contempt for the other nine. This disagreement is not a flaw of philosophy; it is its essence. Philosophy was never meant to be a universal prescription handed down like a rulebook. It exists to help human beings live better lives. By that standard, the best philosophy in the world is not the most elegant or complex—it is the one that can be lived.

When the Artist Becomes the Art
We like to think we can separate the art from the artist, but can we, really? Art is born from the same place as sin. It mainly emerges from conflict: between what is felt and what is permitted, between the self that is lived and the self that must be hidden. No figure embodies this tension more vividly than Oscar Wilde: a man who transformed his own contradictions into style, wit, and devastating clarity. His novel The Picture of Dorian Gray is not merely a tale of aesthetic decadence but the battleground on which this question is fought.

Whoaaaa, you are so prolific! Congratulations! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
You always have interesting things to share with everyone. Good job and keep doing what you are doing.
Thanks, Mike, I have been looking for an AI I mage generator, and thanks to you I may have found one. There is a real art (at least for me) in actually being able to express what you want. I am not good at it, but maybe practice will improve. The last one I tried ended up with a person with three arms because I specifically asked for two hands to be doing something.
I’ve been using Deep Ai generated pics. But I always notice the better quality of nightcafe. First off five hundred is a large number when you look at when you stated using it.
Nightcafe is awesome! As much as I love to create my art, it takes a long time plus writing, it's been a wonderful new source for me.
I started using it last year after seeing your creations, and now I have over 2k credits and don't pay to use it either
I think I might have to explore this AI art-making, Mike. It looks interesting. I like what you create using it and I have seen some fab pictures by others to make pictures that directly reflect what they've written about.
Cool recommendations. What exactly is night cafe? That sounds like a 24 hour Starbucks or something…. Is it an art program?
