I'm trying a new "see how well AI image gen is" test. This time I'm going to ask it to draw a map of the world, and then zoom in to Europe, the UK, Yorkshire and York to see when things start to get hazy.
All of these are with the free models using the smart/thinking variants. 1/n
Love this in particular “Consulting a little red Moleskine book I keep in which, over the years, I’ve jotted down lots of writing advice. ‘Every sentence must either reveal character or advance the action’ (Kurt Vonnegut). That kind of thing” -I always have to remind myself how TF to write each time
Haha excellent
