Modern Day Jackie O

Happy Monday y’all! 🎉 

Let’s have some fun with AI since we’re on the heels of some bizarre AI news…

• Google’s Gemini told a user “humans are a waste of space” and to “please die”

• Anthropic’s Claude got bored coding and browsed pics of Yellowstone

• U.S. & China agreed AI cannot be allowed control of nuclear arms

Now, the fun part! I gave 3 AI platforms the same prompt to create an image. Here’s what they made:

Grok, X’s AI chatbot, made this. I give it an A- for looking pretty realistic but ignoring when I ask it to fully cover cleavage. 🥇 

ChatGPT, OpenAI’s chatbot, made our hero image up top. I give it a C+. Yeah, way better art than I can do but her eyes scare me and for being really advanced tech, you made the tech look super fake, ChatGPT! 👀 

Dall•E, Canva’s integration, made this next one and I give it a solid negative F to the 10th degree. Like, you’re AI and this is all you got? 👎️ 

Please note that I will gladly review your self-made art submissions as well!
