In the FAQ for the Bing app, the answer to the question “How do I use Image Creator?” is:
Type in any text description you can think of to create a set of AI generated images and enjoy!
Somewhat off-topic, I’ve just learned that ‘peach’ in Welsh is ‘eirin gwlanog’ (literally, ‘woolly plum’).
William wrote:[Alfred's prompt.]
The foyer of an art gallery, showing the exit. Before the exit there is a wide A3 noticeboard on a single pole stand.
[I note that it does not ask for a picture to be produced.]
None of my prompts ask for a picture to be produced! The prompt is a description of the desired output, not an instruction to create it, so I see no reason to ask. And even if I were issuing instructions, I would omit the word “Please” because I don’t see any point in including superfluous language elements to be processed when I’m not conversing with a person and my attempt at politeness wouldn’t be appreciated.
When I asked the Bing app for “A3 landscape format” it kept giving me portrait format, so I adjusted the prompt to read “The foyer of an art gallery, showing the exit. Before the exit there is a wide A3 noticeboard on a single pole stand.” One of the results shows almost what I had asked for, but the stand has two poles instead of a single one:
The noticeboard is noticeably(!) too narrow for A-series format.
This is the Chinese scientist and Nobel laureate Tu Youyou:
She has officially been declared the world’s most confusing person to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to.

Thank you, William!
I used the Bing app on iPad, with the prompt “An original painting, in the style of Leonardo da Vinci, of a lady with a hedgehog. There are clouds above, grass below, and trees to left and right.” The resultant images are shown below:

Jack Brabham told a similar story in an interview. He said that when he was pulled over and was asked the same question, his reply was "No, but I love beating him". Brabham was lost in London, trying to find his way to pick up some parts from somewhere. The policeman gave him an escort.

The pictures returned by an image search tend to suggest that much of her work is devoid of texture and consists of geometric shapes filled with solid colours. I seem to remember observing in a previous discussion that her style reminds me of Kandinsky.
When I asked for “artwork in the style of Sophie Taeuber-Arp”, Gencraft quickly produced these two images:
The Bing app took considerably more than twice as long to produce these four:
William wrote:
One of the four that I received. Two elephants, four sheep, a hedgehog and some birds.
The elephant in the centre of the picture looks rather unwell! It reminds me of the Babar story about poisoned mushrooms.
It’s quite difficult to get the requested number of each animal! At first I got two sheep and either no hedgehogs or two, but I also got this:
My prompt was: “An original Impressionist painting in the style of Renoir, depicting one elephant, one sheep, and one hedgehog.”

William wrote:Thank you.
Can you possibly post those two images please?
Here they are:

Welcome, Helmut! Thanks for joining us here.
For those wondering, Strg („Steuerung“) is Ctrl (“Control”) on an English keyboard.

Or perhaps “A lady is steering a gondola with no passengers.” The gondola won’t be completely empty if someone is steering it!

Please produce a full length painting of a lady in the style of Renoir. The lady is wearing a blue dress. Please have a solid red background with nothing in the painting except the lady. This is so that the picture of the lady may be used as clip art.

Thanks for your email, Richard. As I explained in my reply, I hope to be able to make the installer available soon: I’ll email you again once I’m able to give you a download link.
I’m a little surprised that Andreas didn’t email me or post here again after his request slipped off the radar early last year!
Gencraft again:
A painting of a lady facing forward with long hair flowing down loosely in front of her on both sides of her body.
An Impressionist painting of a lady facing forward with long hair flowing down loosely in front of her on both sides of her body.
It struck me that “who has long hair and she has her hair flowing down loosely in front of her” might be difficult to parse accurately, so I simplified the description to this:
A painting of a lady who has long hair flowing down loosely in front of her.
Not quite what I wanted! So I amended the description for a better result (but I forgot to specify ‘in front of her’):
A painting of a lady facing forward with long hair flowing down loosely on both sides of her body.
As previously, I used Gencraft for these images.
