A group of four female athletes are in various states of repose after completing a relay event at the Olympics. Three are looking toward the upper right at something offscreen; the woman on the left has anxious tears in her eyes. The fourth young woman is facing the woman on the left who is crying and comforting her. All are wearing orange racing tank tops and blue athletic shorts. They all have long hair that is either partially up and braided or completely braided.

This really DOES look like a Renaissance painting scene composition... I actually wonder about how authentic it would look if the subjects were rendered in Renaissance period appropriate dress.

There you go

Somehow OPs photo looks more renaissance than this

[-] azayrahmad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah I just put the alt-text description as prompt to Stable Diffusion and upload the photo as reference. It seems that the AI failed to paint the various genuine expressions of the athletes that makes the photo so accidentally Renaissance.

This image is an impossibly accurately germane match for this community. Bravo!

What’s the story?

[-] tal@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Tineye says that it's from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. This article is referenced -- so I assume that these are Dutch competitors -- but it has a different story and images visible there, talking about badminton.

I think that it's the Dutch women's relay team.

EDIT: Yeah, it was a past post on /r/AccidentalRenaissance, though that community is currently private. "Dutch women 4x400 relay team looking at their score : r/AccidentalRenaissance"

Was this description written by an AI bot? Was this post?

Re: the rules on the side: "Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone."

Some instances have "alternate text" boxes that don't show up for everyone but allow screen readers to read it, but if not, just put it in the body. Or as a comment.

Alt-text is also a good way to train AI algorithms

[-] Openmindedskeptic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's alternate text for people with visual impairments/screen readers.

I wrote it.

[-] Oursunisdying@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Maybe it’s written for people with visual impairments.

[-] jdaxe@infosec.pub 6 points 1 year ago

It would be pretty impressive if an AI could create a description that is as accurate as that. Obviously the description isn't perfect but it's not bad either.

That could help a lot with accessibility if AI-enhanced screen readers could interpret images too.

[-] Bozicus@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, no /s, this would be a good use of AI.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

It would actually be interesting to use the descriptions here as a prompt for AI to see what it comes up with and compare.

[-] azayrahmad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I did try but it's just too difficult for AI to accurately capture the emotional expressions of the athletes without further interference.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Hahaha, it is excellent, though, thanks!

[-] QubaXR@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

This actually feels more like an Accidental Baroque IMHO. Awesome nevertheless

[-] Adi2121@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure the original Accidental Renaissance subreddit allowed Baroque and maybe Impressionist images, correct me if I'm wrong.

AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

👉 Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

👉 Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

👉 Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

👉 The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

👉 NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

📸 If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

👩‍🦯 Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.
