Badazz
Sorry to have pawned you off with so much bad AI. There’s good AI, I promise! I pretty much took what I was given, for funsies.
Yes, I’m back. No, I’m not thrilled about it. Had a nice break, anyway. Hi!
The image is MidJourney’s interpretation of Queen Elizabeth I. Kind of awesome. What’s unforgiveable is that I gave it a reference image. It did eventually get Liz right; this was the only set that veered so far into the bizarre.
p.s. I fixed the DeadPool, thefritz.

Bonus weasel!
I asked ChatGPT for a bonus weasel, and this is what I got. ChatGPT’s house style is not nearly as weird as MidJourney (but that’s a mighty long right front leg there, boss).
Back to work today, but I forgot I had something to do tonight. Eh.

You’ve had your lot…
Prompt: “6 weasels sit behind a judge’s bench, passing judgement on one weasel standing before them in chains, in a photo realistic style”
I think the sheer number of weasels was getting to MidJourney. But I do feel like weasel court would probably screw up the whole issue of chains this badly.
That’s it! That’s the first week in May! Back to work tomorrow. See you then.

Now, *this* is six weasels
Prompt: “6 weasels, lined up in a row, doing the can-can dance, in a very detailed line style”
There’s something I like about this one. Can’t put my finger on it. Something other than that terrible case of weirdpaw most of them have.
Not the can can, not very detailed, but it has something.
I should mention there are sliders for stylization, weirdness and variety. I slide them all the way to the left. This shit is weird enough without encouraging it.

What weasels do
Prompt: “5 weasels doing what weasels do, in the style of normal rockwell”
Not bad. I don’t know from Norman Rockwell. The two weasels in front are growing into each other and the two in back are having…facial malfunctions. But would be rescuable with a bit of P’shop.
There was an image in this set which was just series of conjoined weasels, growing into and out of each other. There’s a tendency, I noticed, for MidJourney to get weirder and weirder as you try to correct it. I probably shouldn’t have done these all on the same day.
Wait…isn’t that six weasels?

This one is rather sweet
The prompt was “4 weasels sitting on a wall eating sandwiches, in the style of howard pyle”
It had some neat touches: the ‘paper’ was browned and had foxing marks and it had highlights in white. Not bad, until you realize Weasel #2 has four front legs and Weasel #4 has three.
Howard Pyle was one of my favorite illustrators growing up, from the golden age of illustration (he died in 1911). I particularly like his ink work, as in the Wonder Clock (Oooo…there’s a Kindle Edition).

So, so wrong
I chose this one for the weirdness value. The prompt was “3 weasels dancing a pavane in the style of tissot.”
To start with, Tissot? Really? Not a one of them came close (MidJourney defaults to four at a time).
Secondly, what’s that on the first weasel’s shoulder? Why are there coins floating over their heads? Why aren’t the shadows shadows? What are they shouting about?
AI must really have loved this one: it signed it bottom right.

I forgot to specify a style
Prompt: “2 weasels arm in arm, celebration” Of the eight I generated, this is the only one that didn’t try to sneak in a third weasel. Or at least a bit of one.
I forgot to specify the style, but this had a real “Polaroid somebody took shitfaced drunk at a party” vibe to it, so I kept it.

Here we go…!
It’s weasel’s b’day month! Though I celebrate for the whole of May, I typically only take the first week off.
The prompt was “1 weasel in a party hat in the line style of moebius” Eight images and this is the only one that was even close.
I bet you can guess what’s coming.

How the hell do I not lose this?
I asked for a new 4 terabyte drive for doing the backups at work. This is what I got. It looked so much bigger in the picture!
I’m going to have to…tie it to something.
I’ve made an executive decision: my birthday starts May 1. Tomorrow. I mean, I go in to work the next two days, but I’ma start the junk food and video games right away.
I’ve auto-queued some silly posting, but my brain has already flown South for the week. See you in seven!
