AI Telephone
10No idea how well this will work, but I’m going to try a take on the old classic game of “telephone”, but instead of people whispering in each other’s ear, I’m going to use AI.
I’m going to try using the /showme command to generate an image. I will copy that image into an AI tool https://www.astica.org/vision/describe/ and ask it to describe the image. I will take the description given to me and pass it back into /showme to see how close the second picture is to the original.
This will either be fun or underwhelming, not sure which.

/showme a nice picture that I can use to test out a game of AI Telephone.
/showme In this stunning landscape, we see a person walking on a path that is surrounded by lush green grass and tall trees. The dominant colors in the image are yellow and brown, with accents of black throughout. The person appears to be crossing over a bridge that spans across a peaceful stream, adding to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene.
The outdoor setting is further emphasized by the presence of various natural elements such as trees, plants, water, and even sunlight. In fact, we can see how the sun’s rays create a beautiful golden glow in the sky above. This painting-like scenery evokes feelings of serenity and calmness.
As our eyes follow along with the person’s journey on this path, we notice how they are surrounded by an abundance of nature. Trees line both sides of the pathway while patches of grass peek through here and there. We can also spot several different types of trees within this landscape - including Maples - which adds diversity to its overall appearance.
One particular tree stands out as it has no leaves at all - perhaps indicating that it is either transitioning into or out of winter season. Another interesting detail is how some branches seem to reach towards each other from opposite sides - almost creating an archway for our walker to pass under.
Despite being outdoors in what seems like an isolated area, there are signs that others have been here before us too. A map shows up on one side near where our traveler stands; however faintly visible due to age or weathering effects.
Overall, this image captures not only nature’s beauty but also its ability to provide peace and tranquility for those who seek it out. It serves as a reminder for us all to take moments away from our busy lives and appreciate what surrounds us every day – whether it be something grand like towering trees or something small yet equally significant like sunlight reflecting off water droplets in a stream.
@mediocrebot Wow… that’s actually pretty close to the original image all things considered. That was a lot less crazy than I was expecting. Well done AI!
Let’s see how well it does describing THIS image and generating a third…
Go long enough and you’ll end up with a picture of Glenn eating Irk in a rage- fueled frenzy sparked by an angry penguin beating him with a bidet
/showme In this image, we see a stunning landscape painting of a forest. The dominant colors are yellow and green, with the foreground filled with vibrant yellow leaves and the background showcasing lush green trees. The artist has captured the beauty of nature in this piece, with intricate details in every stroke.
The focus of the painting is a person standing in the middle of the forest, surrounded by tall trees and foliage. They seem to be taking in their surroundings, perhaps admiring the peacefulness and serenity of being immersed in nature. In front of them is a bridge over a river, adding an element of adventure to this tranquil scene.
As we look closer at the painting, we can see that it is not just any ordinary forest - there are hints of fantasy elements scattered throughout. A bright yellow light shines through one section of trees, giving off an otherworldly vibe. There’s also what appears to be a map on a piece of paper lying on top of some rocks near the riverbank.
The attention to detail is remarkable as even small objects like fallen leaves and twigs have been carefully included in this masterpiece. We can also spot various types of plants and flowers growing around the area - truly capturing all aspects that make up a natural environment.
One interesting aspect about this artwork is how it combines both traditional techniques (such as brushstrokes) with modern technology (as seen from its metadata). This blend creates an intriguing contrast between old and new methods used for creating art.
Overall, this captivating painting transports us into another world where we can appreciate both nature’s beauty and human creativity simultaneously. It serves as a reminder to take time out from our busy lives to reconnect with our surroundings and find peace within ourselves amidst chaos.
@mediocrebot ok, beginning to drift away from the original now.
/showme This image is a painting of a woman standing on a path in a forest. The woman is wearing a yellow cloth, which appears to be draped over her body like a dress. She stands with one foot slightly forward and her arms at her sides, gazing off into the distance. Behind her, there is a bridge that spans across a river, surrounded by trees with vibrant green leaves. In the foreground of the painting, there are several plants and grasses scattered about, adding to the natural feel of the scene.
The artist has used various shades of green to create depth and texture in the foliage surrounding the woman. There are also pops of yellow throughout the painting - from the woman’s clothing to small details such as fruit on trees and rocks near the riverbank. The use of these warm colors gives an overall feeling of autumn or fall.
In addition to nature elements, there are also man-made structures present in this scene. The bridge serves as both functional and aesthetic purposes within this peaceful setting. It adds another layer to explore within this beautiful landscape.
The level of detail in this painting is impressive - from individual blades of grass to intricate patterns on tree trunks - making it seem almost lifelike. This attention to detail extends even beyond what can be seen at first glance; upon closer inspection, one can see delicate brushstrokes creating shadows and highlights throughout.
Overall, this artwork captures not only stunning scenery but also evokes feelings of tranquility and serenity through its composition and color palette choices. It invites viewers into its world where they can imagine themselves walking alongside this lone figure amidst nature’s beauty.

Sorry, had to do it.
@werehatrack
@werehatrack probably the best /showme!
I ran out of free image descriptions so have to find another service to continue my AI telephone…
… but I think this showme might be a better one anyway! lol!
@OnionSoup @werehatrack i especially like that it included an unsolicited banana for scale
And Irk looks like szechuan chicken inside… who knew?
@werehatrack There’s almost words in this one!
OK… I ran out of free describe images so had to switch to:

I have a feeling this is where telephone breaks down…

Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.

@mediocrebot ok… this is the penultimate one… I’m going to do one more image… just waiting on the describe to complete. So far I’ve been pretty impressed. This is the first image that really veered away sharply from the original.

Original Before 7 steps:
Verdict:
The first tool I used worked really well and changed very slowly.
The second tool I used when I ran out of free uses of the first tool really started to mess things up. Overall though, you can see the slow progression and AI messed this up far slower than I would have thought.
Now I’m going to copy @warehatracks’s image into describe and see what it generates…

Original Before 1 Step:
@OnionSoup Is that Malcolm McDowell screaming at the penguin in the top image?
@macromeh @OnionSoup could be. I think the bottom one is Robert Picardo, the Doctor from ST Voyager
@macromeh @ybmuG you’re right! I was wondering who he reminded me of, and I think that’s it!
Cool experiment. If it will be continued, you are welcomed to write to help@astica.ai for additional compute.
@alanine @Ignorant @narfcake @ExtraMedium @werehatrack SPAM
@alanine @ExtraMedium @Kyeh @narfcake @werehatrack I find this to be more helpful than spammy I’ll let the others take a look and see what the consensus is.
@OnionSoup has already linked to the tool above as one of the tools they were using for this experiment.
@alanine @ExtraMedium @Ignorant @Kyeh @narfcake @OnionSoup I tend to agree with the non-spam assessment. Although the two links are not identical, with one being a prettified version and the other being an information-dense instance, they’re clearly to the same organization/entity. Frankly, the .ai version seems more useful. At the very least, it’s a hell of a lot more readable and looks more navigable.
@alanine @ExtraMedium @Ignorant @Kyeh @narfcake @werehatrack I suspect this is a case of, they saw on their referral statistics that they were getting traffic from “meh.com” and followed it back to see why.
I think in this case this is a helpful link offering to help continue the experiment. I’m not sure if I will carry it further (unless anyone is interested what happens if I take this back to where I switched services half way through to see if it stays more true to the original).
@alanine @ExtraMedium @Ignorant @narfcake @OnionSoup @werehatrack Okay.
@Ignorant @Kyeh @narfcake @OnionSoup @werehatrack I can confirm that the user is directly connected to the source and not providing the email as spam.
@ExtraMedium @Ignorant @narfcake @OnionSoup @werehatrack
I had a dream last night about AI creating 3-D objects; I suppose that’s coming soon if it’s not here already. I attribute that dream to this thread!
@ExtraMedium @Ignorant @Kyeh @narfcake @OnionSoup @werehatrack Someone I follow on Instagram who does AI Halloween-y stuff has started producing some of the toys with a 3d printer artist. They’re super-expensive but it’s very interesting.
@ExtraMedium @Ignorant @mossygreen @narfcake @OnionSoup @werehatrack
So they design a picture with AI and them produce it, right? I’m my dream, it was like the Jetsons food delivery system - just say what you want and voilà!
/showme I give up on the yellow clocked woman in the woods telephone thread.
@Kidsandliz Hah - that gave a pretty interesting result.
/showme a high fiberoptic diet
@pakopako Just a light meal.
@mediocrebot illuminating!
