Fun Making a Cover with AI

This post is mostly just me having fun with AI. 

Gave Copolit a booklet on accounting and asked it to make a cover for me. The first thing it produced was this.

Honestly, I was a bit shocked. I wasn’t sure why it would recommend this as a book cover, it really has nothing to do with accounting. I confronted the AI about this fact. 

This cover is a little better…

I learned a new word to describe AI, which is sycophantic. In essence, AI is often very agreeable, saying like, you're right! Great catch!  Another term for this is a brown noser. 

In a similar vein, I wanted AI to update the artwork for my other podcast, Ricky Rambles. 

It started with is, which is, well ok.

When I asked the AI to remove the glasses, things got a little funny. 

So I fed it a picture of me

Huh. actually I guess it got a little messed up somehow, that is odd. To which it made this

Which is fun, but it isn’t square. When I tried to use it it ended up looking like this

Which I thought wasn’t ideal. So I asked it to make it square

And got this very unflattering photo. It might actually be more true to life than the last one  but anyways. I asked one more time to just get the earlier photo and make it square and got something workable. Different, but workable.

I think it looks pretty good. Maybe I still need to diet a bit! Anyway, if you wanted to see it live, here is a link to the show. https://open.spotify.com/show/6MfTKhIIRGy3NCv5Iil7zF
