I don’t know about you but whenever something new and exciting appears on the AI scene I simply have to play with it. Yet again I found myself disappearing down that rabbit hole I talked about in my ver first post on The AI Grandad.
This time it was all to do with AI generated images. Today, ChatGPT released its latest AI generator and it is truly amazing. So, I thought I would share some of my first, simple experiments with it.
The AI Grandad
Because I chat with ChatGPT all the time it knows a lot about The AI Grandad blog and me. So, my first experiment was to prompt – ‘Create a doodle of The AI Grandad‘
Then I simply asked ChatGPT to ‘Turn it into a photo.’
Then the prompt was, ‘Turn the background into the interior of my shed with bookcases and a desk with a computer, have grandad sat at the desk.’
Notice how ChatGPT has kept the original design of The AI Grandad the same throughout. Impressive.
Playing With Text
AI image generators have always had a problem with text, or at least with text that made sense. For my next experiment the prompt was, ‘Put this short story on a single page of an open book, “Poetry is now a medical condition. Those who arrange words strangely are treated gently, sedated softly, corrected thoroughly. I keep a poem hidden in my mouth, repeating it silently so it doesn’t forget me first.” Include an appropriate sketch’
The short story was one I had recently posted on X.
I thought the sketch was great and I had said no more than ‘include an appropriate sketch’. GPT determined what this should look like.
I was intrigued as to just how ChatGPT would interpret messages, stories etc. My next experiment was to ask, ‘Create an image to go with this quote “Do one thing every day that scares you.” Include the quote at the bottom of the page. Portrait aspect.’
With the next prompt I was asking ChatGPT to do some research and create an image. ‘Create an image based on the poem Jabberwocky. Include the first verse.’
You can’t always rely on AI to be accurate. I checked the first verse of Jabberwocky and ChatGPT got it spot on.
Editing Images
This new AI image generator also does a great job of editing images. Either ones you upload or ones you create. I created this family photo taken in Times Square, New York.
Then I got ChatGPT to change the clothes and background for a Winter holiday.
…and the for an exciting holiday on a distant planet!
A Call To Thought
I’m off down my rabbit hole for more playful, creative experimenting. Why don’t you join me.

The AI Grandad 
I gave ChatGPT a poem of mine with an instruction patterned on yours and got an interesting and fun result:

It took a couple of tries with refinement of the prompt.

Well worth persevering with refining the prompt. I loved the finished two pages of the book. I also enjoyed the poem.

wow those images are unbelievable . Very clever. But it does make me think how will we ever know what is true?

I wonder if we have been unsure of what is true and untrue for a long time. Not many years ago we were being bombarded with ‘fake news’. A friend of mine is a great photographer, but many of his photos look a lot different to the original by the time he has worked his magic with Photoshop. I think we simply need to grab these amazing tools that AI is giving us and be as creative as possible.
