I've just been playing with Craiyon, which is an AI that takes a phrase you provide it with and generates artwork - artwork which is often very strange. I've been saving my favourites, so here are a few of its efforts;


Bomberman listening to the radio
It merged the radio and a headphone with Bomberman's head, and made him dance.


Tux the penguin with a gamepad
One of its few truly recognisable images.


Red fox eating roast chicken
I love the gigantic plate!


Santa Claus with video games
This one's actually quite good, blurry face aside.


Ratchet & Clank watching television
They've got their backs to the TV, but that's (a very worried-looking) Ratchet, Clank, and some other guy watching television, alright!


Shiba Inu on a computer
A very literal interpretation of the brief.


Linux gaming
I have no idea what happened here - Tux's foot has become a Lightsaber for some reason, and his face looks quite unsettling! Do we have a big Star Wars following in the Linux-gaming realm?


Gaming on Linux
It's put a penguin in an FPS!

Has anyone else gotten any great pictures out of this thing?

Well..... This is certainly...... "Art"....... Even Sister Wendy wouldnt know what to make of these........

I started with the phrase Denver Broncos and this is what it gave me


Then I typed in Hell cause that is where it feels like I am being a Broncos fan this year........ and got this..... Now this I do actually really like.....


And just for Pengling I used the phrase Bomberman burning in Hell and got this masterpiece


As you can see from the pastel colours and vigorous brush strokes that the artist is using his brush to reprisent the decent into madness..... Absolutely marvellous

I fished with Bomberman Winning and got this...... Bomberman and Mickey Mouse had a love child...... Can you help me out with the lore of this one Pengling???

Hahahahaha! I'm sorry, I'm just at a complete loss for words!

Here, have another masterpiece to make up for it;


Computer with a man's face

This one's actually quite artsy.

EDIT: Alternatively;


Computer with a penguin's face

This would make quite a good user-icon!

I love the middle-right one, where it looks like the frog is melting!

This is clearly the highest form of art.

This AI has watched The Thing too many times.

The thumbnails looks decent. That close up, though.

I just got THE single best result I've ever gotten from Craiyon!



Look at that shocked-looking Splinter in the middle of the bottom-row! He was too great not to share with the world.
StoneColdSpider Sep 8, 2023
Bottom middle is awesome....... Its like Splinter is having a Nam flashback......
