MORE CRAZY AI POSTINGS

Let us start with the latest one of my Trained Selfies:


NO NEED TO YELL - ICAN HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR
^{This time it was a disagreement with one of my intergalactic neighbors.}
Made on Nightcafe - this was the prompt:

^{Myself in a precarious situation, portrait <lora:NEW SELFIES:1.0> in front of a Dark fantasy digital painting. Creepy weird cryptid alien creatures, royal colors, dominated by a bloated orange monster with gaping mouth and razor teeth, forked tongue and multiple eyes. Alien planet, starry skies, hybrid anthropomorphic plants reminiscing of Bosch. Best quality. H.R.Giger. Chet Zar. Anton Semenov. Otto Rapp. Cryptid taxidermy. Bogomil's Universe. Eerie fusion. Detailed digital painting. Masterpiece.}
It was to be expected that not everything I wrote in the prompt will be shown, particularly since I led with 'portrait' in a wide screen format. Models such as Flux tend to ignore stuff that is at the end in longer prompts.

TENDER IS THE FLESH

^{By chance, I stumbled across a obscure horror book by the Argentine writer, Augustina Bazterrica
A fascinating story, check out the summary on Wikipedia - I used the first part of that summary as my prompt!these two images I published, but one third image I archived - it was too gory, and I won't show it here either}'Cadáver exquisito' as the original is called in Spanish, was published in 2017. I found it because I looked for similar stories related to a novel and movie I've seen a long time ago, SOYLENT GREEN 1973 ◄ this is the link to the Internet Archive. For more info on that movie, check it out here. It had mixed rewiews, but I liked it. It plays in a ficticious dystopian time of 2022. The last role of Edgar G. Robinson, only months prior to his passing - sort of eery, since his great scene in the movie was a death scene.

Back to 'Tender is the Flesh' - this is the first part of the summary I used as the prompt:
The world has fallen into chaos after the "Transition", an event where a virus that infected animals was found to be deadly to humans. Animals have been slaughtered and burned en masse, forcing the world's population either to go vegan or eat each other. Soon, cannibalism was institutionalized, industrialized, and normalized. Humans bred for consumption are referred to as "head," their meat marketed as "special meat". Scavengers, who cannot afford the special meat, consume any dead body available.

But leave the gory behind, and switch to something more whimsical. What I wanted to show was Pinocchio fly-fishing with Tinkerbell as the bait.
This was a old idea I used in a drawing decades ago for a funny play at my alma mater, called A MAD SUMMERNIGHTS DREAM ◄ Link to the drawing on my website.

FISHING AT LAKE OGOPOGO

^{The only platform that would show what I prompted for was Microsoft Copilot} This was the prompt, which I also used on Nightcafe and other sites:

A marionette-like creature sits at the haunted shores of Lake Ogopogo, nose-turned-fishing-rod extended toward the water. Dangling from the hook is a glowing crystal-winged sprite, casting golden light across the eerie scene. Just as the bait hovers, a monstrous, bioluminescent fish erupts from the depths — jagged teeth bared, eyes bulging, water spraying in all directions.

Strange story: This was quite a struggle, it required rewrites because of possible copyright violations with Disney on my original prompt, involving Pinocchio. Something I disagree with, because the original story of Pinocchio is a childrens book from the 19th Century, and in the public domain.
Lake Ogopogo is my addition to the prompt, there is a lake in British Columbia, Canada that has a lake monster by the name of Ogopogo according to local legends.

On Nightcafe, this same prompt produced some interesting and strange images, depending what model and format is used:

And now we get to the part where I was actually using my initial Pinoccio prompt - unlike Microsoft Copilot, Nightcafe actually had no problems with this prompt:

Pinocchio using his long nose like a fishing pole, flyfishing with tinkerbell as the bait on his hook, and a monster fish jumping up out of the water. A twisted faerietale from Bogomil's Universe on the shores of lake Ogopogo.

Bing Image Creator had no problem with the Pinocchio prompt, and returned these:

Google Gemini had no problem with the Pinocchio prompt either
here is one example

To get back to where the idea came from, namely my analog drawing from decades ago, here is a crop from the relevant section:

..... it even had a flying pig in it!

From a crazy selfie to dystopian horror and then funny puppets and Pinocchio, I now close with one (of many unpublished) Space Sagas on Nightcafe:

So I sit in my library trying to figure out what to do next
I hope you enjoyed this, until next time ....

Final Words of wisdom and a pet concern of mine, especially about art diplomas:
I had in years past come across quite a few 'fake diplomas' that pretend to be academic credentials. Next to 'Pay to Play Galleries' they are the scourge to be avoided. The summary of a paper about this spells it out
