I am not a painter at all, let alone one who has mastered his craft, but I haven’t come across any AI ‘art’ that suggests the presence of human feeling.
What about this one?

I’m afraid that that one doesn’t do anything for me, either.

I gave the same prompt to Gencraft and got this:
Alfred, you are a brick! .. I never heard of Gencraft. After reading your post, I signed up for Gencraft, and immediately got a result on an image that I had been trying to achieve with Bing --and couldn't. Gencraft seemed to understand what I wanted and followed my instructions better. THANKS ALFRED.
Dontcha just love serendipity!

There are some truly wonderful linocuts to be found if you know where to look.
It must be very satisfying to have the skill and patience to produce these things.
Some artists focus on “reduction” linocuts, where multiple layers are created by reusing the same block and cutting more away each time: there’s no going back, so there’s no room for mistakes!

pberk wrote:Wow. I just learned things about the clipboard I never knew. I'm running Windows 10 -- and wow .. clipboard is much more powerful than I knew about.
I"m always learning new things on Alfred's forum!
The Windows clipboard holds data in multiple formats. Nir Sofer’s free utility InsideClipboard displays the contents of the various formats and allows you to save the content of each format into its own file.
Off-topic, because it wasn’t generated by Bing Chat AI, but I was amused to note that the picture below includes (in the bottom left-hand corner) a lady in a green dress and a lady in a red dress. The picture is from Italy, ca. 1400.
William wrote:A thread to discuss the modalities of using Bing Chat AI to produce art.
I think your topic title told us that already, William! 
William wrote:Is it possible to have things so that readers of the other threads can download full size images of what is posted please?
If you’re referring to these forums, it should already be possible to download a full-size image if that is what has been posted.
William wrote:Also, I have found that I cannot copy and paste text that has been posted in a thread. Is that a feature or an option that can be changed please?
Again, if you’re referring to these forums, that should already be possible. If it isn’t currently working for you, I would need to know the steps that you’re following.
It’s interesting that although Bing Chat AI is asked for pictures of “a lady in a long green [or red] dress feeding an okapi”, none of the results shows the dress feeding the okapi!
pberk wrote:Dead link. But I get it .. Point well taken. I'd like to see a good story that deals with mass delusions. Maybe it would be set during the Renaissance.
Not actually a dead link, just a blocked link! If I use a VPN to connect via a server in Los Angeles, I get this message:

Also check that you don’t have ‘Clean Design’ and/or ‘Trimmed Mode’ toggled on.
William wrote:This painting was the very first acquisition to enter the Nationale Kunstgalerij (the forerunner of the Rijksmuseum) in 1801.
The Wikipedia article states that the painting was purchased in 1800. At the time of writing this message the Rijksmuseum website was down, so I was unable to check what it says.
GB wrote:Actually the resulting poem I received is a bit of a disappointment, since it scans pretty well. Something Mr McGonagall seldom achieved! It appears Bing is a better poet than he.
I think you may be right, Geoff! From what mercifully little I’ve seen of McGonagall’s work, he paid close attention to rhyme but scansion was sorely lacking in his great works.
Very off-topic, please accept my belated birthday wishes. (Perhaps we should ask Bing Chat AI to compose a birthday ode for you, not necessarily in the style of William McGonagall!)

PPX6 is 32-bit only, but a 64-bit engine was added for X7. A search of the Interwebs suggests that the error code 0x80070091 indicates a System Restore error.
William wrote:In "The Lonely" the robot, played by Jean Marsh (who over a decade later played Rose Buck in Upstairs Downstairs) did not cause a problem at all. The problem that there was no space on the spaceship for her to travel with the man.
Side note: In addition to acting in ‘Upstairs, Downstairs’, Jean Marsh was one of the co-creators of the series.
pberk wrote:Electronic art, by definition, is done on computers using computer display monitors. Generally these displays have three colors, Red, green and blue. All the colors (they claim millions of colors) are mixed from there using software. I think this would be true of mixing Red, green and blue pan or tube paints as well. The big difference is that electronic mixing would be very precise and easily repeated, but an artist mixing tube paints relies on their eyes.
The other big difference is that a computer display uses emitted light, so the primary colours are (as you stated) red, green and blue. Painting and printing use reflected light, so the primary colours are cyan, magenta, and yellow. CMYK process printing uses a separate black, because mixing cyan, magenta and yellow gives you a muddy brown.

Yes, I’ve noticed that in the past. I think you have to use an image instead of a Unicode emoji character.

The ‘smilies’ links in the navigation bar at the top of each forum page will give you easy access to the code that you need for displaying a wide range of smilies.

Or rather, in English the Welsh word llyfrgell means library! (In Welsh the word llyfrgell means llyfrgell.)
Just to confirm, the Affinity apps still can’t read the old ‘Plus’ file formats (and it’s highly unlikely that they ever will). The unique selling point of the Affinity suite is the single file format that allows any app in the suite to open any files saved from the same version or earlier on any supported platform, regardless of which apps have been used to create or edit them.

They can also be opened in PagePlus, and could be exported from there in a different format.
Thanks for the reminder, Geoff!

Well, that’s an odd one! I can’t imagine what they meant.
LindyB wrote:I have the original Craft Artist Professional disc, tried to use it in my new computer.
Tried and failed? If so, what problems did you encounter, and what error messages did you get?
LindyB wrote:Is it a case of the computer shop not adding on something.
As far as I’m aware, a modern Windows PC should have everything you need for running CraftArtist.
It isn’t possible to open native DrawPlus files without DrawPlus or PagePlus. Copying the installed *.exe files won’t work because you also need to have the correct entries in the Windows registry, which the installer writes for you.
Which version of DrawPlus do you have?
