DE3 does a pretty good job with “realistic photo of Ahsoka Tano dancing with _x_” (though it often tries to show them as action figures with seams at the joints).

Continuing to play around with Bing/Dall-E 3 when I can find a prompt that _doesn’t_ get censored. Was doing that yesterday when a bumped Discworld thread inspired me to try “Tiffany Aching in Discworld”. As I mentioned in my first post on DE3, each set of images has a distinct style/content that isn’t in other sets. It is clear that ChatGTP must be adding additional descriptions to each prompt behind the scenes without informing you. (In the last set of images on the bottom right I tried “Tiffany Aching in Discworld not holding a frying pan”.)

There have been a number of times I’ve asked a SD or DE version for a specific robot and got a random robot. So the systems know what class they are even if they don’t know specific details.

For the past couple of days I’ve been doing an insane number of images of characters doing the _Say Anything_ pose whenever somebody occurs to me. Sometimes Bing is amazingly good at understanding the character, sometimes it is totally clueless.

Charlie Brown

The nanny filter won’t let me do many modern real-life figures (and even trying much can result in suspension escalating to banning). Not even the generic “Pope” or “American President” without names are allowed. Dead ones seem fine, though. I’ve made Bob Ross, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and Stephen Hawking, for example.

Sometimes I try an abstract concept and am blown away by how well DE3 handles it. Here, for example, is anthropomorphic fingerprint:

Interesting to see what DALL·E 3 thinks the future holds for us. (Note: I commissioned these last week.)

Can’t see many hyoomans…

Midjourney gave me a pretty accurate rendering of my 1950s era Lionel O-Gauge train set, in a hyperrealistic, cinematic/Tim Burton action scene with studio lighting, etc. Pretty much nailed the engine (that my brother still has: solid metal, very heavy). Close to how I imagined it as a kid, speeding around our Christmas tree.

The latest fad is using Bing/DE3 to make comics. Here are some of mine.

A four panel comic about Charlie Brown and Yoda learning to pluck a turkey.:

I tried Peppermint Patty in SDXL and got figures that showed a vague understanding of what Peppermint Patty looks like (reddish-brown bob, shorts) but completely unlike Patty. Amusingly, one had some Schultz-esque art on her shirt so it KNOWS, it just didn’t wanna do it. I explicitly _didn’t_ try prompting for comics or Schultz.

I also made an unconvincing off-brand Don Draper and even less convincing Les Nessman. Once again, showing a vague understanding of the character but in a “heard a story from a friend of a friend” sort of way.

DE3 is good at “vaguely like the actors playing fictional characters but you’ll only recognize them if you are told”. For example, here are “Die Hard” and “The Fonz”:

[![](https://i.postimg.cc/qqY1pq1T/Die-Hard-Fonz.jpg) ](https://i.postimg.cc/qqY1pq1T/Die-Hard-Fonz.jpg)

Others are more recognizable. Asking for Sherlock Holmes I very clearly got the Benadict Cumberbatch version. (Asking for Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Strange weren’t quite as good, but still obvious).

I’ve mentioned before where Bing seems to be secretly adding details to prompts. These current comic generations are clearly revealing prompt details being added to increase diversity that are being turned into image text.
