BTW, for the first time ever I got a “you can make only limited images per day” from Copilot a couple of days ago. Before that, I wasn’t even sure there was a limit. (I had done around 50 prompts that day, including redos.) ---

Ah, yes, refreshing did it. > **[ChatGPT - DnD Scene Illustration Request](https://chatgpt.com/share/6876a1be-0b28-8003-9bda-622085b6f467)** > > Shared via ChatGPT [![](https://i.imgur.com/4lT6uuG.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/4lT6uuG.png) It did a pretty good job, though the woodchopping should probably be a bit more dynamic. Right now, it looks like he’s just resting the axe against the wood. And I expected the axe to look a lot more showy and impractical, but it’ll do. And it did a great job on the people. > **Prompt** > > It’s just outside a farmer’s cottage. The mood is tranquil and domestic. Outside, a male half-orc is chopping firewood. He’s shirtless and highly muscular, and has tattoos of many cryptic runes. His axe is overly-ornate, like a display piece, but it’s got some dings and scratches. A half-elf woman stands in the doorway of the cottage, watching him. She’s clearly appreciating the display of strength. She’s visibly pregnant, and is holding an ugly baby, who has some of the traits of both parents. ---

As an aside, when I tried that same prompt at NightCafe, it said it wasn’t allowed to show me an image of a child in danger. And NightCafe, of course, isn’t conversational enough to discuss just what it thought was unsafe. ChatGPT didn’t complain about it, though (aside from not displaying until I refreshed). ---

This one didn’t work quite right: [![](https://i.imgur.com/vpra44A.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/vpra44A.png) The facial tattoo and the art on the armor should be the same dragon, the facial hair should be on his cheek instead of his chin, and it apparently doesn’t know what either brass knuckles or a lyre are supposed to look like. > **prompt** > > Another D&D image, a portrait. A human male, light-skinned. He’s wearing scale armor, with artwork of a copper dragon inlaid into the armor. The artwork continues in facial tattoos, with the dragon’s head on his left cheek. The man is completely bald, except for reddish-orange facial hair on the right side of his face, sculpted into the shape of flames emerging from the dragon’s mouth. He’s well-built and handsome, with a body like the cover of a romance novel. On his left hand, he’s wearing flaming brass knuckles, while his right hand is wearing a bladed gauntlet like a dragon’s claw. There’s a lyre on a strap across his back. ---

I uploaded this post from an incoherent nutjob on Facebook to Copilot [![](https://i.imgur.com/EmdweBD.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/EmdweBD.jpeg) And told it to make a multi-panel comic from it. It made one image and I told it to make a couple of more to finish the story. I think it did an admirable job from what it had to work with.

I “rescued” a failed image. First I was playing around with descriptive terms for creating an alien [![](https://i.imgur.com/Ys41ZnR.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/Ys41ZnR.jpeg) Then I tried getting Copilot to put some of them into an alien Google Earth Street View scene (that was an AI image challenge). I knew half-way through the render that Copilot was going to bail on it saying “actually, I can’t make that”, but I liked where it was headed so I did a screencap (moments before it did stop making it). [![](https://i.imgur.com/kxcttZx.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/kxcttZx.jpeg) I then uploaded that image to Sora, gave it a prompt, and told it to complete the blurred part of the image. (I told it to give them cut-off jenes because I thought even Sora would decide that they were naked and refuse to do it.) It successfully did it, keeping the top mostly intact [![](https://i.imgur.com/HWnRkPR.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/HWnRkPR.jpeg) I tried again, this time not telling it to put pants on them. This time there was one failed image and one flood image. [![](https://i.imgur.com/cXh216p.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/cXh216p.jpeg) ---

Indeed, he really should’ve been more specific when he wished for a mermaid—the genie gave him a _reverse_ mermaid. Top half fish, bottom half lady. …Personally, I wouldn’t complain—I’ve dated worse. But hey, not everyone’s into tuna in a tube top. ---
