My chosen prompt was playing frisbee with a cat at the park. When I think of this I imagine a sphinx cat catching a frisbee in their mouth mid-air like a dog next to a tree in a grassy park area. Their owner is in the corner of the image having just thrown the frisbee.
Here’s a rough sketch of what I had in mind;
The free image generator I chose was craiyon.com. I began with a simple prompt: “A sphinx cat catching a frisbee that their owner threw in a park next to a tree.”
Here was the best result:
The cat clearly DOES NOT look realistic nor is he jumping mid-air. The tree looks like a stump & the owner is nowhere to be found. Somehow this was the best result they gave me, half replaced the cat with a human.
After figuring out the problems I went back in for round 2.
“A sphinx cat jumping and catching a frisbee in their mouth next to a tree in the park. Their owner is off in the corner after throwing the frisbee.”
Better… although the cat still looks very alien-like. The tree looks more realistic & the cat is in mid-air, though you could argue they’re climbing the tree. Still no owner in sight.
I get one more chance to make it count. Here’s the final prompt:
“A person throwing a frisbee to their sphinx cat that is jumping mid-air to catch it in their mouth in the park next to a tree.”
Although this was butchered, it’s still the most accurate of the 3.
Now I’ll admit, I haven’t spent too much time yet experimenting with AI image generators. I may just not know how to write prompts correctly or this just happens to be an awful free generator. I wanna lean closer toward the latter considering I know I’ve generated better images in the past on sites I don’t remember.
There are definitely more cons than pros for this site as you can see. It was never truly able to capture the prompt I was looking for & the correct aspects looked like something from another planet. Either way this has taught me that I should spend more time exploring AI, practicing writing prompts & absolutely trying out different sites.
