AI HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE IT'S PRIMITIVE BEGINNINGS - I've been with Nightcafe for over 5 years when I thought it was too goofy to take serious. Like my very first creation, called Canary in a Mineshaft.

personally, I do not agree - this is too simplistic of a statement
But lets deal with the subject of creating 'fake newspapers' with AI. I actually stumbled on this capability by accident, using a newly introduced model on Nightcafe called GPT Image (there are several versions, from 1.5 to 2, Low, Medium and High). Myself, I used the GPT Image 2 Low because it is the most economical and yet very powerful model.
About yesterday's Walpurgisnacht
I sent this to my sister via WhatsApp, and she passed it on, but said that I had created this with AI. Then she told me that one of her 'less bright' friends thought that I worked for the newspaper and had written it for them. To which I could only comment with a facepalm🤦♀.
The very first 'News' I created (more by accident than by design) was to put my frustration about some silly Nightcafe 'Rules' for Challenges into words - I had in past conversations in a group called 'Fine Art' stated that the so called 'moderators' are like the Taliban.
- this, btw, was the 'rejected' entry

Your entry was rejected by the moderators.
Rejection Reason: Inappropriate and Offensive Depictions / Disturbing and Harmful Themes
Imade this as a reaction to a earlier post (also done with GPT):
Now it seems I am on a roll - a previous idea was transposed into a hilareous fake spoof:
A previous piece about 'Schurli':
Inbetween I switched over to Deep Dream Text2Dream, to see if their GPT model could produce similar results. In fact, it did:
Mirjam on NightcafeI had in the past been very critical, so some of my previous poster ideas are now translated to a newspaper page:
The Poster Boy
October 2025 I published A TRIBUTE TO DAME JANE GOODALL (1934-2025) - at that time, I used Seedream 4.0 for the main image:
This time, I used GTP Image 2 Low:
My page on Nightcafe is here: ART OF THE MYSTIC ON NIGHTCAFE - should you be interested in what you could do on Nightcafe, here is a INVITATION LINK, this is how it would work (for both of us):
You can sign up to a regular free account (I am on a first level Pro Account). Before, I just had a free account, and it worked pretty well for me also. But there are many pro models now that it does make sense to eventually go pro. But just for testing it out, a regular account works pretty well, some of those regular models are actually quite good, I am particularly impressed with Dreamshaper XL Lightning and better even is Z-Image Turbo. There are several more models available to free accounts, particularly the ones called 'Lightning' are quite good.

Final Words of wisdom and a pet concern of mine, especially about art diplomas:
I had in years past come across quite a few 'fake diplomas' that pretend to be academic credentials. Next to 'Pay to Play Galleries' they are the scourge to be avoided. The summary of a paper about this spells it out
DEGREE MILLS - THE BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY
If you google the title you will find where this book is available, but also there are many videos on this subject.

Fake newspapers? That ‘Taliban Reject’ sign is peak chaos."
