In which we continue generating album covers

 In the last post DALL-E 2 came up with some bluegrass gospel album covers from the prompt "A record cover for a bluegrass gospel record with a man with a banjo and a man with a guitar standing in front of a church."  We ended up with some fairly generic churches and really weird banjo-things.

While DALL-E 2 and I were communing, I started substituting other faith traditions (real and imagined) for the word "church".  Here, for your viewing pleasure are some of the record covers DALL-E 2 generated (with yet more odd banjo-like objects).

"Ethiopian Mountain Church"



"Temple of Apollo"


"Indonesian Temple"





And one more "Klingon Temple"...

"Christmas Time's a Coming" in haiku

ChatGTP's response when I ask it to draw out the essence of the Stanley Brothers  Starday classic. .. Certainly! Here is a rewritten version of the Stanley Brothers' "Christmas Time is Near" in haiku form: Country, happy time Children play, Santa rides the snow Memories, joy nears Holly, bright fire glow Candles shine on Christmas night Smiling faces near Pine trees sway, joy shows Ice froze, water clear and cool Snowflakes fall, time nears

In which I ask DALL-E 2 to make up some bluegrass gospel record covers -- Part 1

 The Stanley Brothers --"Good Old Camp Meeting Songs," Reno and Smiley -- "16 Greatest Gospel Hits", Flatt and Scruggs -- "Sacred Songs",...  Chances are that if you have some old bluegrass gospel albums, you have at least one that features a duo or band standing outside a church.    Here I went to DALL-E 2 and asked it to generate some album covers -- my request was "A record cover for a bluegrass gospel record with a man with a banjo and a man with a guitar standing in front of a church." Interestingly enough, DALL-E 2 had a very hard time with banjos and at times was challenged by guitars. Necks, in particular got weird or disappeared entirely. Here are the results.  After these four, I decided to get  adventurous and include other houses of worship in other real or imagined faith traditions.  Most of these will be in future posts, but, as a bonus, I've included one at the bottom. For the one below, I kept my criteria the same, except I su...

In which we learn about Jimmy Martin's wakeboarding skills

 I didn't even try to mess with the a.i. bot, but it is as confused as ever.  Again this is not the newest bot -- I still have a short reserve of saved conversations of interest before we switch over to the technology that is supposed to transform writing forever...   Human: Tell me about Jimmy Martin?    AI: Jimmy Martin is a professional wakeboarder.    Human: Does he play guitar?    AI: I do not know.    Human: Did he sing "Sunny Side of the Mountain"?  AI: Yes, he did.    Human: What else did he sing?    AI: Jimmy Martin has also sung "On the Road Again," "The Times They Are A-Changin'," "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," and many other songs.    Human: Is he alive?    AI: Yes, he is.    Human: Is he a nice person?    AI: I do not know.    Human: What is the Jimmy Martin song "It takes one to know one" about?    AI: The song is about how it takes so...
