1/ I gave #AI another try. My previous experiences with #Microsoft's ChatGPT (both as a writing assistant & research tool) were rife with problems. But I thought perhaps a different corporate overlord might produce different results.
I tried using #Google BingAI, which uses #DaLLE image generation. It was my first time using any visual AI. I had used #ChatGPT a few times, but found it too untrustworthy.
I asked the #BingAI app to create some #artwork. One was just to help me visualize a "tooth fairy" character for a #WIP; the other was to replace existing #blog #clipart with images that are more specific to the story and less generic.
The eyes on all were extremely weird & unnatural.
One "tooth fairy" was cross-eyed; most had eyes that were more anime-sized than realistic. The smiles on all the "tooth fairies" were WAAYY too huge, & their expressions were always more "creepy" than "cute." Until I specified gray hair (and even after I did so), it kept giving me only blonde women.
