Lady reading haiku to an elephant


https://i.postimg.cc/bGxjhDNs/Lady-reading-haiku-to-an-elephant.png

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.

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.

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

Please produce an original abstract painting.

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.

Oh, Copilot is telling me the following as soon as I try my first prompt.

Sorry, you've reached the limit of messages you can send to Bing within 24 hours. Check back soon!

Previously,

https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?pid=5182#p5182

and a search on the web gives several more, including the abstract non-AI original from where the idea of that image started.

So will the AI system pick up on any of those?

The prompt for the AI system, not yet tried at the time of writing this post.

Please produce an original impressionist style painting.
A southern France field.
A lady reading haiku to an elephant.
Their world is peaceful.

Good evening.

A live Art and AI experiment.

Please join in and post, post, post.

What I have in mind is to prompt the AI with a request for an original impressionist painting and then give it what I am calling a haikuplex, five syllables. eight or more syllables, five syallables.

And the observe what happens and take if from there, with participation by everyone who wants to join in.

Please write an original fable. The stegosaurus and the cauliflower.

[Copilot]

The Stegosaurus and the Cauliflower

Once upon a time, in a lush, green valley, there lived a gentle Stegosaurus named Stella. Stella was known for her kind heart and her love for all things green and leafy. She spent her days wandering the valley, munching on ferns and basking in the sun.

One day, while exploring a new part of the valley, Stella stumbled upon a peculiar plant she had never seen before. It was a cauliflower, standing tall and proud with its white, fluffy head. Stella was curious and approached the cauliflower.

“Hello there,” Stella greeted. “What kind of plant are you?”

The cauliflower, who was quite proud of its unique appearance, replied, “I am a cauliflower, the most delicious and nutritious plant in this valley.”

Stella, always eager to make new friends, smiled and said, “It’s nice to meet you, Cauliflower. I am Stella, the Stegosaurus. Would you like to join me for a walk around the valley?”

The cauliflower, flattered by Stella’s friendliness, agreed. As they walked together, they encountered various other plants and animals. The other plants were amazed by the cauliflower’s unique appearance and began to feel envious.

“Why does the cauliflower get all the attention?” grumbled a nearby fern. “We are just as important.”

Stella noticed the discontent among her plant friends and decided to address it. “My dear friends,” she began, “each of you is special in your own way. The fern provides shade and shelter, the flowers bring beauty and fragrance, and the trees offer fruits and nuts. The cauliflower is unique, but so are all of you.”

The plants realized the wisdom in Stella’s words and began to appreciate their own unique qualities. The valley became a place of harmony, where every plant and animal celebrated their differences and worked together to create a beautiful, thriving ecosystem.

From that day on, Stella and the cauliflower remained the best of friends, and the valley flourished with the spirit of unity and acceptance.

I hope you enjoyed the fable! What did you think of it?

A cauliflower cannot move from where it grows.

You’re absolutely right! Cauliflowers are stationary plants. Let’s adjust the fable to reflect that:

The Stegosaurus and the Cauliflower

Once upon a time, in a lush, green valley, there lived a gentle Stegosaurus named Stella. Stella was known for her kind heart and her love for all things green and leafy. She spent her days wandering the valley, munching on ferns and basking in the sun.

The cauliflower, who was quite proud of its unique appearance, replied, “I am a cauliflower, the most delicious and nutritious plant in this valley.”

Stella, always eager to make new friends, smiled and said, “It’s nice to meet you, Cauliflower. I am Stella, the Stegosaurus. Would you like to tell me more about yourself?”

The cauliflower, flattered by Stella’s friendliness, agreed. As they conversed, Stella learned about the cauliflower’s life and its importance in the ecosystem. Stella shared stories of her adventures in the valley, and they both enjoyed each other’s company.

As Stella and the cauliflower talked, other plants and animals gathered around, curious about the new friendship. The other plants were amazed by the cauliflower’s unique appearance and began to feel envious.

“Why does the cauliflower get all the attention?” grumbled a nearby fern. “We are just as important.”

Stella noticed the discontent among her plant friends and decided to address it. “My dear friends,” she began, “each of you is special in your own way.

I hope this version is more accurate and enjoyable! What do you think?

[William]

An improvement as the cauliflower does not move. Yet other plants are said to have gathered around. No plant can move from where it grows.

Please write an original fable. The giraffe and the okapi.

[Copilot]

The Giraffe and the Okapi

In the heart of the African savanna, there lived a giraffe named Gina and an okapi named Oliver. Gina was tall and elegant, with a long neck that allowed her to reach the highest leaves on the tallest trees. Oliver, on the other hand, was shorter and more reserved, blending into the dense forest with his striped legs and quiet demeanor.

One day, Gina and Oliver met at the edge of the forest. Gina, always curious, bent her long neck down to greet Oliver. “Hello, Oliver! How do you manage to find food in this dense forest?” she asked.

Oliver smiled and replied, “I may not be as tall as you, Gina, but I have my own ways. My stripes help me blend in, and I can navigate through the thick underbrush to find the tastiest leaves and fruits.”

Gina was impressed. “That’s amazing, Oliver! I never thought about how different our worlds are. I can see far and wide from up here, but I can’t reach the delicious fruits you find.”

Oliver nodded. “We each have our strengths, Gina. You can see dangers from afar and warn others, while I can move quietly and find hidden treasures in the forest.”

As the days passed, Gina and Oliver became good friends. They shared their knowledge and helped each other. Gina would warn Oliver of approaching predators, and Oliver would guide Gina to hidden groves filled with sweet fruits.

One day, a terrible drought struck the savanna. The trees withered, and food became scarce. Gina and Oliver decided to work together to survive. Gina used her height to spot distant water sources, while Oliver used his agility to navigate through the forest and find hidden patches of greenery.

Together, they led the other animals to safety and sustenance. The giraffes and okapis learned to appreciate each other’s unique abilities, and the savanna thrived once more.

The moral of the story is: Everyone has unique strengths and talents. By working together and appreciating our differences, we can overcome any challenge.

I hope you enjoyed the fable! If you have any other requests or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

However, sometimes in a shop, the barcode scan won't work and the checkout assistant can manually key the number that is printed below the barcode.

Will that still be possible with the QR system? Hopefully it will be.

Mireille Mathieu - Der Zar und das Maedchen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g6bQ6Jug5I

Hello Ali, thank you.

I will try to ask the people at Papier.com next week as to whether they know the exact dimensions of the square images that are needed.

At the moment I have used two of their square greetings card templates: one is full field where some of the uploaded image goes into the bleed areas, so the result fills the front of the card yet a little is lost at the edges: the other has a full picture with a white border around the picture. They advertise them as photo cards, and write about uploading a photograph, yet what is uploaded is a jpg file, so it does not need to necessarily be a photograph.

William

I am looking into this as I am getting prints of some of the images that have been generated by Copilot (previously known as Bing Chat AI).

The images start as 1024 pixels by 1024 pixels and are probably at 300 dots per inch.

So if a square template at Papier,com has a picture frame that that some larger value that is, however, not some exact multiple of 1024 pixels by 1024 pixels such as 2048 pixels by 2048 pixels, I am wondering how the larger picture is produced.

I am not here asking for the method used by Papier.com, I am just wondering if anyone here knows anything in general terms about how a bitmap of one size such as 1024 pixels square is enlarged to fit in a picture size that is, say, 1500 pixels square.

I know that if I were to know the exact size of the Papier picture frame that I could use Affinity Designer to place the original image on a white background of the picture frame size and use that image so that the original image would print at the exact original size.
