I’ve just tried to make my first AI picture: “Trump” “Rat Fink”. Canva won’t do political images. Microsoft wanted me to sign in, and then said I had to sign out. Then it said I had to sign in. Forget it. Adobe was useless. DeepAI seemed to object to my prompts. I did get one image, but I don’t remember where. It was nothing like I had in my head. I guess I’m too dim-witted to have a computer make picture for me. ☹ ---

I use three different services that use the ChatGPT image renderer: ChatGPT, Copilot, and Sora. (Also Google Gemini, which uses their own renderer.) You have to sign up for all of them, but all have free tiers, and none in my experience are difficult to join. Sora is the most permissive with prompts, give it a try. ---

I tried Sora. It told me I could only make one image at a time. But I was only trying to make one image. After getting this message a few times, I tried again and it said, ‘added to queue’. But no image. So Sora doesn’t work for me. ---

There are five icons at the bottom of the Sora page. Either one of these will take you to your completed files. [![](https://i.imgur.com/pxEYVEa.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/pxEYVEa.png) (The left one is for browsing other people’s images. The middle for creating, the right for account settings.) [![](https://i.imgur.com/C0YlwJ8.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/C0YlwJ8.png) I don’t know why you would get only 1 image. Maybe you have to have been using it for a while before they let you do 2 or 4. ---

Okay, I think I see what your “one image at a time” problem was. Not that you can only run one image per set, but you can only be creating one set at a time. Which is normal. You had one job in the queue and were trying to add more jobs before the first finished. As for your question, just tell it to put the letters “DT”. ---

Pick one of your images, click “remix”, type “replace the letters rf with dt”. ---

No, click remix and type “replace the letters rf with dt”. Since you made it a poster instead of just the rat, you might want to say “replace the letters rf on the rat with dt”. ---

they put a new image generator up at Perchance, and it’s horrible, I feel like it stepped backwards over 3 years in capability of rendering basic human figures. Half of them have some major anatomical glitch, usually extra limbs, something I haven’t seen from other generators in a long time. Perchance’s earlier image generator, with all its problems, generally did get basic anatomy right.

Sora used to refuse to touch characters from _The Nightmare Before Christmas_. Now they’re fine. [![](https://i.imgur.com/HjQunE4.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/HjQunE4.jpeg) One of the weird AI tests I came up with years ago is Count Chocula marrying Twilight Sparkle, but I couldn’t run that one before because Sora wouldn’t do MLP characters. Now, no problem. [![](https://i.imgur.com/0GEspxb.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/0GEspxb.jpeg) On an unrelated note, I saw on the Sora feed images of a capybara made from potatoes. I tried for a potato made from capybaras. But there was a typo in my prompt [![](https://i.imgur.com/iyMcB7q.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/iyMcB7q.jpeg) “A gritty, realistic wwii era battle scene.
