Not bad, AI

I asked Grok to “make me an image of elon musk eating a pickle in comic book style” and this is what it gave me. Not bad at all.

Why the phrase “elon musk eating a pickle” popped into my head, I do not know. I’m kind of surprised Grok allowed it, in that it could easily be edited into something ruder.

I do know a whole lot of illustrators will be out of work.

Have a good weekend!

Yep, pretty soon the whole world will be bots talking to other bots. Jesus is coming, he’ll sort it out 🙂

Have a nice weekend!

Elon looks good, Stoaty. I thought you’d drawn him on your computer. I remember what you said about AI and hands.

I’ve been trying on/off for a couple of months to get CoPilot AI to design an historical American Revolutionary War flag into a pin for me, but no luck. It insists on giving me stars and stripes no matter what I ask for. I’ll have to try Grok.

Now do one of Elon, playing a guitar, while flying off the side of a mountain road, his guitar G string wrapped around a pole.

Singing “I don’t want a pickle, I just want to ride on my motorcicle”

I guess AI thinks Elon prefers little pickles.

Debora he’s comment just reminded me…
Oh! Oh!
Can you do one of a deer headed chihuahua, peeking out from under a blanket, in the middle of a chair.
With the motto:
“Don’t sit on me!”

There was recently an unfortunate near disaster hereabouts recently that inspired me.

It would seem Grok ignores the part of the prompt it doesn’t understand. Not very interesting.

I tried to post the results of both your prompts, Durned, and it won’t let me for some reason.

But thanks for trying it (them).

Lucy the neurotic chihuahua almost suffered damage when I
near miss sat on her under a blanket on the couch, and it occurred to me it would make a humorous t-shirt of the Gadsden flag nature.

@Ddurnedyankee—You could put Don’t Sit on Me on a tiny t-shirt for Lucy, even if you had to letter it yourself.

I love it!
Challenge accepted.
I haven’t hand-arted a t-shirt in about 35 years when the boys went through their Transformers stage!
Thanks for my Monday morning grin!

It’s a testament to the power of words to spark imagination, both in humans and in AI.
Have a great weekend as well!

Nice write-up! Copero covers similar topics in great detail too, worth a look.

The detail in AI-generated comic styles is getting impressively sharp. As more creators start generating and sharing these kinds of digital assets, keeping the file sizes manageable for quick loading is usually the next hurdle. If you ever need to optimize animated versions of these for the blog, gifcompressor.net is a handy tool—it handles the resizing and compression right in your browser so you don’t have to deal with uploads.

Web-based tools don’t get much better than Country Draw online. Simple concept, perfect execution.

The speed of AI generation is definitely unsettling for the creative job market. It makes the whole ‘cost of living vs. salary’ conversation even more critical as industries shift. I’ve been using My Raise Calculator lately just to keep an eye on whether my own pay is actually keeping pace with inflation during all this volatility.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
