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.

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.
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!
The image is 1024 pixels square.
Please click on the image, then click on the result to get a huge display.
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.
Please produce an original abstract painting.

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

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.

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.
