A nice picture of Esque

The AI did this, which I like.

Still playing with the chatbot imaging

This is its re-rendering of the morning sunlight on snow I sketched the other day.

Interesting. Originally:

Hitting the limit

Not only did I hit a limit on how many pictures I could ask it to draw, I think I reached a limit on the utility of having a chatbot draw my pictures.

Then look what happened:

Testing chatbot image generation

I gave it this text:

Scene: an elderly Red Dragon, wearing glasses and trying to take apart a delicate gear assembly. His claws keep getting in the way and he fumbles a small part on the floor. "Darnit!" he says and emits a small belch, melting the whole thing by mistake. It is tempting to have commentary to the effect that red dragons can spit on themselves by mistake, causing minor pain, like stubbing your toe.

Turing in reverse

How about a chatbot trying to prove it is not human.

Got Bing Chatbot to draw a scene from the Boy and the Dragon

 This is where Esque and Tom commandeer Otto's Boat:

Otto offers Esque a piece of Malachite. The extra man is a chatbot error.

Here is a version of Bark, done with one of my sketches as a starting point:

Not bad.

An insight into adjective order

Considering the difference between "big, red ball" and "red, big ball", the former allows both adjectives to accumulate for a ball object, while the latter forces 'red' to be a single adjective of a compound "big ball" object.

I have been writing about lexicons of object (topic) types and wrestling with how colored sub-types are defined before sized subtypes. The lexicon itself defines 'isKindOf' relations that are physical and only one-way. So, the adjective order is hard-wired and, presumably, it comes from the history of how those object types were stored to create the actual lexicon. In other words, it comes down to the timing when those adjective types were acquired.
