Caption This AI Image #3 – “Shh… We’ve All Agreed Not to Talk About It”

Posted on by Mike

Welcome to what is now becoming a regular Sunday post. If you want to see what I, or rather AI, did with captions sent in by readers last week and the week before, have a read of, Two Images, Two Captions, Two Stories.

Right, now let’s get back to this week’s image.

I came across this AI-generated image and felt that familiar little chill, the one that says something odd is happening here, and nobody’s explaining it. Everyone looks calm. Reasonable. Well dressed. And yet… they’re all making the same gesture, at the same time, as if rehearsed. Including the robot. Especially the robot.

I won’t tell you what I think is going on. That would spoil the tension. Instead, I’ll leave you with the image and let your imagination do the heavy lifting.

Give This AI Image a Caption #2 – The Song Only He Can Hear

Posted on by Mike

I was browsing through my AI images this week when I stumbled across this one, and it stopped me cold. There’s something achingly beautiful about it. Quiet. Tender. Almost ghostly. The sort of picture that feels like it already contains a story, if only we lean in close enough to hear it.

I won’t tell you what I see. That would get in the way. Instead, I’ll let you sit with it for a moment and see what it stirs in you.

Here it is.

A young child in worn, old-fashioned clothing sits in a doorway of a crumbling building, gently playing an aged violin as soft light falls across them.

The light, the dust, the decay, the expression… every element feels like it’s whispering something. Is this a moment of hope? Loneliness? Magic? Memory? Survival? A lullaby to the past or a plea to the future?

Whatever it is, it’s begging for words. And that’s where you come in.

Your Turn, Caption This Image

Give me your best caption in the comments. It can be:

  • wistful
  • poetic
  • mysterious
  • uplifting
  • heartbreaking
  • or something entirely unexpected

There’s no right or wrong way to interpret it, just your imagination meeting the image halfway.

Next week, I’ll share a selection of my favourite captions, and I might even try weaving one or two into a tiny story.

A Closing Thought

Every so often, an AI image arrives that feels less like a picture and more like a doorway. This one made me wonder about the power of quiet moments — the ones that happen when nobody’s watching, when the world falls away, and someone creates something just because they must.

So… what do you think this child is playing? And who, or what, is the music for?
