Understanding AI and its Current Limitations

I just went to the dentist for a cleaning last month and like everyone else in their late 30’s (pushing 40) I took a selfie with the sunglasses on and sent it to my wife. Fast forward to last Friday, I’m told I need an image to prompt AI to generate a Rave at the Dentist’s Office. No Problem!

First, we look at David during break having his teeth cleaned.

Prompt #1

I used my selfie above with the prompt “Doing whippets at the Dentist”

I received an overwhelming sense of gratification with this outcome! I was very surprised to see a breed of dog called a Whippet sitting in the dentist’s chair.

Prompt #2

Inside the dentist’s office that go see, they have some tiger art on the wall…. So I asked AI to use this tiger image below and asked AI to “LSD all night at the dentist’s office” It generated the most realistic nightmare I have ever seen.

Prompt #3 WINNER

AI and I had a RAvE aT thE DenTiSt!

For this prompted I revisited the selfie files because I felt it would give me the best outcome, I choose one of myself smiling (I look a biological phenomenon.) I kept the written prompt direct and simple with keywords I felt it would understand. “Having a party with illegal drugs at the dentist office.” The out come above was my vision, a colorful “trip” in a dentist chair”. I’ve never been to a rave and I keep saying one thing but picturing Hunter S. Thompson roaming the desert.

FOR FUN….
