I closed Edge down, then started it up again and tried the same prompt and got a different picture.

Lady reading haiku to an elephant

As some readers may already know, the imagery of a lady reading haiku to an elephant arose many years ago.

I was looking through a font that I had made using the Alphabet Synthesis Machine, wondering what the various abstract glyphs might suggest to me.

One suggested a lady reading a book, facing to the right. Another suggested an elephant looking to the left. I decided to combine the two in a picture. The idea that she was reading haiku came from my interest in creative writing.

LADY_M_G.TTF, Lady_M_greets_the_horse_L

If one tries these in WordPad in blue at a 300 point size, the sequence ML produces the painting "Lady M greets the horse L" and the sequence WZ produces the painting "Lady reading haiku to an elephant" on the screen.

Since then I have produced some images using software that I did not have back then and I have obtained some A3 size laser prints from Viking Virtual Print House.

I have since then closed the computer, and had a break, and will try to try the same prompt from a reset system.

I prompted with the following, but the original picture was still there, so I seem to have got a variant of that picture, though I include it for completeness.
