Join Me Down The Rabbit Hole

Every now and then I feel the urge to put up a short post when my experimentation excites me. And that’s what this post is!

I found a Drabble (100-word story) that AI and I had collaborated on a year or so ago. I wondered what would happen if I put the story into the prompt box for ChatGPT’s new image generation and simply asked, ‘Create an image that reflects this story.’

Here’s the image and the story:

Spare Parts

“Step on the scales, please. Clothes off, dignity optional. Ah, 78 kilograms. Slightly overweight, but don’t worry, we’ve a category for that. Category K, ‘Moderately Useful for Spare Parts.’ Oh, you thought this was about wellness? How quaint. No, we’ve abandoned that old NHS model. Too costly. This is resource management. Let me see… lungs, average. Liver, below average. Kidneys, passable, though a bit scuffed. Eyes? Blue. Valuable. You’ll be pleased to know you’ll be recycled into three future citizens. I’m told the procedure is relatively pain free. Don’t worry, we’ll inform your wife you won’t be home for tea”


My Thoughts

What I found most intriguing was, not only does the image represent the story extremely well, but it was the way it had used lines from the story to embellish the story. So, you get the various screens displaying body weight, lungs average, liver below average etc. Mindblowing!

The Latest AI Image Generator From ChatGPT

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!

I’m off down my rabbit hole for more playful, creative experimenting. Why don’t you join me.
