I had a cartoon idea today, but it's been decades since I drew one, so I thought I'd describe it to AI to see what it produced. I used Google's Gemini. This is what I posed:

Create a Larsonesque cartoon showing two polar bear cubs seated at a dinner table on an ice floe. A mother polar bear is serving them pies with top crust. The cubs bear looks of dismay. The mother frowns. All of this should appear with an ocean background and gray, overcast skies.

Here is the result:



........................................................"Aw, Mom, not Eskimo pies again!"

The caption is mine, of course. I think the cartoon is excellent, considering the limited instructions given AI. I attempted to tweak it by asking for the inclusion of an empty kayak, but Gemini produced a completely different cartoon. The second cartoon was good.

If I were a mediocre professional cartoonist, I'd be looking for a new line of work.

Good one! Now make a photohop version...

I am not up to that challenge.

Same prompt, jut replaced cartoon part with realistic, photographic.

I dunno how to place images here.

I did a right click on your image in imgur, then selected Copy Image Address. I then pasted the address here. Finally, I highlighted/selected the address and clicked the Img button above. That worked. Using imgur's tool to Copy Link (or whatever) didn't work with multiple attempts. That doesn't surprise me; a few weeks ago imgur dropped their very useful link menu. That site has gone to Hell.

That image is pretty frickin' good! Add Nature Photographer to the list of endangered species.

I have to retract the above criticism of imgur: I just went there and discovered an "escape" button permitting users to return to the old format. Duh!

AI is trying to take over... but it forgot the milk for the youngsters.

Prompting is fun Ted, I'm having a blast!

I take it you're implying that an "Eskimo" makes a great tasting pie
or is at least pie worthy...

This is you exact prompt done in MidJourney

I guess I won't be doing a cartoon. Only old farts would get it. The woke idiots running the company that made them changed the "insensitive" name to Edy's Pie years ago.

What a fascinating modern age we're stuck in.

Byron inspired me to play with this a bit more. Once again, I used Gemini with this slightly modified prompt:

Create a photo-realistic scene showing two polar bear cubs seated at a dinner table on an ice floe. A mother polar bear is serving them pies with top crust. The cubs bear looks of dismay. The mother frowns. All of this should appear with an ocean background and gray, overcast skies.

Result:



Pretty darned good.

And you said you weren't up to the challenge (ha)...

I agree Ted,,, pretty good. "Global Warming, It Does a Body Good"

Pretty darned good indeed!
