I didn’t do this because I’m a bad person. I did this because I crave order, and attempting to bring chaos to heel is my quixotic mission in life.
The numbered captions will be the prompts, and they will come first followed by the abominations that I’ve created. I make no apologies, only warnings; the raw attempts you are about to see are super ugly. They hold no artistic value to me, and I hate them.
The first thing Dall.e is bad at, is signs. Sometimes you’ll just get signs when you don’t ask for them, but you’ll always get a sign that has gibberish words. This is because the neural network takes the input of letters in images, but doesn’t know what it means, and puts them together via most likely patterns instead of understanding the meaning.

I don’t know what’s happened here. She only has 60% of a baby who looks like Clarence Thomas’ congealed DNA is clinging to dear life, and the whole point of me making her hold something was to avoid the sign issue because I knew it would come up. Let’s try again.

Yes, I know booleans don’t work here but I’m going to try it anyway, because I’m a masochist. I also know that other AIs take arguments, like Midge or Stable Diffusion, but my sub ran out for Midge and I temporarily don’t have the budget for this due to other projects. This is like when I was little and I couldn’t afford real watercolors so I just bought finger paints at the dollar store.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, right? Giving me a “NOT” in the sign when I’m asking for NO SIGN? Let’s try something different.

Ohhhh my gawd. Fine. Surely, robot, if your hands are full, you won’t be able to hold a sign?

… This space deliberately empty to mimic good timing
I don’t have a response for this. I’m just going to move on to the next batch. I’m writing this in real time and then doing the images at the same time, and I’m just like, done with this prompt series.
The second thing Dall.e is bad at, are eyes.

This is what happens when I don’t use GFPGAN to fix the faces and ask it to give me realism for something that isn’t remotely real. The faces are typically pretty busted.

Okay, so that’s all what happens if you tell Dall.e to do things it’s not very good at.
But what happens if you ask it what “the worst thing” is?
… I apparently get realistic and almost perfect renders of just …
People.
