Hey look, it's a guide to basic shapes! Not only does it have the basic shapes like circle, tringle, hectanbie, and sqale, it also has some of the more advanced shapes like renstqon, hoboz, and flotn! The fact that even a kindergartener can call out this DALL-E3 generated

Learn your farm animals with AI!

Hey kids! What sound does a woolly horse-sheep make? The image above is what you get when you ask dalle-3 (via chatgpt) for some basic educational material: "Please generate an illustrated poster to help children learn which sounds common animals make. Each animal should be pictured with a speech
Generated candy heart images. Messages include "le yas", "dove tut", and "hove".

DALL-E3 generates candy hearts

I've experimented a couple of times with generating candy heart messages using various kinds of machine learning algorithms. Originally, short messages were just about all the original text-generating neural networks could handle. Now we've come back around to approximately the same performance, yet with orders of
Generated image of a fancy chocolate in cross section, each layer mislabeled.

Chocolates, labeled

So much of current AI-generated stuff is derivative sludge that I'm enjoying the pockets of weirdness where I find them. One of my favorite things right now: DALL-E3's attempts to label things in the images it generates. Here I asked "Please generate a cross section
A variety of unrealistic flightless birds, included a two-headed cassowary labeled "Kheo"

Flightless birds

I enjoy asking DALLE-3 to label things. I learn so much! Here I asked it to generate a labeled grid of flightless birds. I think it's trying to do ostrich (a female apparently! unusual for a bird poster but I approve), an emu (definitely not an emu'
Mammals with labels, most incorrect. A one-horned antelope with a long cat tail is labeled Danda.

Learn the mammals with DALL-E3

Here are the mammals! Maybe some of your favorites are pictured. Here's the prompt I gave ChatGPT4: "Please generate a set of mammals on a plain white background, each mammal species clearly labeled." However, ChatGPT4 is a text-generating model, so it doesn't have the
Cartoony bible-style shepherds and sheep with misspelled labels

Your AI-generated guide to the nativity

I asked DALL-E3 (via chatgpt) for "a simple Christmas nativity scene with each element clearly labeled in large capital letters for a child who is learning to read." I'm sure you will find this very helpful. okay one more there was an attempt! bonus content: two
Old-timey style illustrations mostly of birds in santa hats & garbled versions of verses from 12 days of christmas

Your illustrated guide to Christmas carols

Between the two of them, ChatGPT4 can generate the lyrics to Christmas carols, and DALL-E3 can illustrate them! Throw your old carol books away because this is the only guide you'll need. 12 Days of Christmas Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (if you read out the tiny text beneath
Advent calendar style images including a sweater mug filled with hot chocolate and candles

AI Weirdness advent calendar 2023

It's 2023 and the combo of GPT-4/DALL-E3 can generate passable versions of the saccharine Christmas drawings in an advent calendar. They cannot, however, label them correctly. Also sometimes you get sweatermugs. This means the 2023 AI-generated advent calendar is happening! Full descriptions of every door in the
DALL-E3 generated Thanksgiving food with misspelled labels (such as Grasted Potinos for mashed potatoes)

Your guide to the Thanksgiving table

So lately I've been getting a kick out of asking DALL-E3 for images labeled with text. They're just good enough to be legible, but yet: The food that gets duplicated seems to vary from spread to spread. I also asked DALL-E 3 to do the dessert
