Now I would actually use that as an avatar in a few places it’s pretty awesome and she has a moon and she has a cauldron and she has no thumbs that you can see but the right number of fingers and looks pretty esoteric so I actually like that
@f00l@ybmuG@mediocrebot
That’s NOWHERE even Close…
for starters, WAYY to thin, and WAY to much hair.
…damn male pattern baldness…
Picture a Balding Peter Griffin, with a Mostly White Goatee…
… or one picture i say of myself Recently, looked like a Fat Les Nessman…
@earlyre
recently introduced my 40y/o son to WKRP. I forgot how much fun that show was.
Favorite line: As God is my witness I thought turkeys could fly…
I’m kind of unfamiliar with how to use AI…but I love the idea of creating an avatar using my own image in a way that generates something like the really cool ones above.
Is there an easy way to do that? I know a few apps do it, but I haven’t seen anything as detailed or interesting as some here…
If there is, we could do a thread of AI images that at least kind of resemble us. Who couldn’t use that little self esteem bump?
@k4evryng@ybmuG My sister answered already - she used something called “Voilà.” I guess you submit your real photo and it gives you a “prettified” version of yourself. I wasn’t that impressed but it was several years ago. I think they have more sophisticated ones now. She also used Bing AI more recently and got some pretty impressive results:
@mossygreen oops…I just meant it as a stand alone image, not that I envisioned it representing the real you this way.
(And I always wanted to learn to play d&d. I still kind of do. But it would have to be d&d for dummies because I don’t have the first clue about how the game is played, lol!)
@Kyeh Noice… Wow, you & the bot nailed it! I’ve always preferred riding saddleseat (or hunt seat), so that’s the right outfit & equipment, & i have a soft spot for the heavy-boned, cold/warm-blooded breeds, so that’s exactly the type of horse i would have. One can dream. <sigh> They both have such beautiful manes, too… I’d have to get a wig for that to match, unfortunately. Much better than my non-specific request; idk who that dude was, but he’s kinda scary! Lol
@ircon96 It’s your spirit self! I do like that hefty horse too.
I’m not sure I like AI’s emphasis on super skinny stereotypical images, it’s kind of weird.
But flattering, just the same.
I wonder if your original one looked like an android because of the numbers in your username?
@Kyeh I agree about the emphasis on super skinny renderings, i assume that’s because the AI is trained on material that’s out there already, so since that’s the vast majority of images it has access to, we’re stuck with them. I must say, though, she looks a hell of a lot better in those jodhpurs than i would, but i think she should get herself a Shetland pony that’s more her size & leave the majestic steeds to those of us who can appreciate them!
@k4evryng@werehatrack Well, the adjacent city has a sewage treatment plant that I’m a couple miles downwind of and occasionally vapors escape. Couldn’t be that overflowing to Meh? Nah…
@looseneck I hear ya! There are more than a couple of things I wish I could afford to do! And the older I get, the more pointless it seems…but a girl can dream, lol!
@heartny@k4evryng Pretty sure Ken is enjoying the waiter gig, he exists to serve (and surf, or at least look like it). He’s just Ken, and he’s OK with that.
@Kidsandliz obviously you have to go to the animal shelter and adopt a fifth cat now.
I would like to congratulate you on your soon to be 5th cat. (we have 6 although one adopted us and one was an accidental adoption so we should only have four)
@OnionSoup All of mine have been accidental adoptions. I live in 2 rooms. I had 5 until my oldest died 2 years ago at 3 mo shy of 20 (I had bottle fed her from 10 days old on). I think I need to stay at 4 as sometimes these guys think there isn’t enough room for all of them - of course they all want the same spots (eg on me) which is much of the problem. My current oldest just turned 14.
@Kidsandliz My wife and I both had two cats that we had had since college. Which is fine when they were young. They all lived to between ages of 19 and 21. Four elderly cats at the same time was not cheap with vet bills.
@OnionSoup You are so right. I had 3 elderly ones at once. You are right. Not cheap. Actually neither is even two of them. Of course younger ones can occasionally be expensive too. I currently have $825 sunk into Tigger at the moment (probably a bit more to go) and he is only born fall 2018. Not what I had planned so the tires will need to wait.
@Kidsandliz@OnionSoup I really want to live in the alternate reality where we not only care enough to provide healthcare to everyone, but also recognize that animals improve human performance, and provide care to them as well.
@mediocrebot It definitely favors gold gears and aura-like things. Though I think it reminds me of a physics experiment regarding light transmission. But that didn’t have the pretty gears, though.
reminds me of a physics experiment regarding light transmission
Which experiment was that, if you recall? I started out as a double major with physics and math, but then I switched to just math so I could graduate sooner (then got my Viet Nam-era draft notice, silly me).
The middle section reminds me of a fiber-optic cable unraveling.
@heartny@mediocrebot Well also it’s quite impressive it knew the whole thing about what “Grocery Games” is and how it could be depicted in an animated humorous way. And also in a few seconds. Face it, we are doomed.
@mediocrebot Considerably better, though not quite what I was trying for. But I feel like I could progressively tweak the prompt into what I wanted. (pretending I was energetic enough to do that, and didn’t mind spamming the forum)
Maybe someday I’ll get around to realizing my dream of being an artist… through AI tools. And then pretend it doesn’t feel completely fake to call it “my” art.
@xobzoo I kind of like the chubby dragons…at least they are well fed.
And I wouldn’t worry about spamming the forum. Those of us following this thread are here because we enjoy the creativity of both the human prompts, and the AI response. This one is really cool and I’d love to see how you tweak it to get what you’re looking for.
@mediocrebot@OnionSoup … or perhaps, no matter which way this election of the two supposed nominees will happen, the phrase “Something went terribly wrong” is probably appropriate.
@mediocrebot@OnionSoup@pmarin It’s been so long since I’ve done it, do they have captchas on write-ins? That could potentially be what keeps mediocrebot from getting elected.
@Kyeh I agree, lol! But my daughter would absolutely wear them. She has a pair that is more holes than material, and I internally cringe when she wears them.
I do have a pair with a few, small, well placed worn/ripped spots (as in…not directly on my a$$) that I think are cute…but that’s as far as I’d go at my age.
But these look like they’re one accident away from being cutoffs.
@k4evryng@Kyeh I’m of the opinion that those are way overdue to be made into shorts. I’m also not a big fan of the fraying-hem look, so I’d have to serge the edges and make a proper hem - which can be a challenge with those lapped seams.
/showme a person called OnionSoup
@mediocrebot I can confirm, this is an exact likeness of me.
@mediocrebot @OnionSoup
Matches drivers license pic?
@f00l @mediocrebot only the left half.
/showme a bot called mediocrebot
@mediocrebot Too credible. Way too credible.
OK… let’s see what the rest of you look like (according to mediocrebot)
/showme the person called Werehatrack
@mediocrebot Hmm. Let’s call that one more aspirational than realistic.
@mediocrebot @werehatrack you’re a man of many hats.
@mediocrebot @OnionSoup @werehatrack I don’t know why, but that reeks woman of many hats to me and I think it’s pretty awesome
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
@Cerridwyn @mediocrebot @OnionSoup And thus more appropriate.
@Cerridwyn @OnionSoup @werehatrack I hoped it would come up with a werewolf with hats.
@Cerridwyn @OnionSoup @werehatrack @xobzoo It’s clearly a were-hatrack in mid change, covered with many hats.
/showme the person called dave
@mediocrebot Dave’s not here, man.
@dave wow! you look a lot more normal than me or @werehatrack
@dave @OnionSoup @werehatrack The AI bot wants to stay on Dave’s good side. It has seen 2001.
@dave @OnionSoup @werehatrack You say he looks normal but I don’t see his hands.
@dave @OnionSoup @werehatrack @yakkoTDI That’s why he looks normal.
@dave @OnionSoup @shahnm @werehatrack @yakkoTDI I think he looks an awful lot like the host of The Why Files Youtube channel.
/showme the person called capnjb

@mediocrebot Well that’s terrifying.
/showme the hooman named narfcake who is not a cat
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@narfcake that would have been cool if it’s spoken English and not in bought
@Cerridwyn @narfcake I like it a lot!
The last line seems like it says “Is indeed securely a paradox that’s Narfcake.” In Botglish.
/showme the goddess called Cerridwyn
Now I would actually use that as an avatar in a few places it’s pretty awesome and she has a moon and she has a cauldron and she has no thumbs that you can see but the right number of fingers and looks pretty esoteric so I actually like that

@f00l It just misunderstood the instructions and gave us the wrong results. So maybe this is the correct picture for

?@f00l @xobzoo It’s missing a certain count.

Looks like gr8mick1’s older brother.
/showme a person called sammydog
@mediocrebot what happened, bot? Were you on break?
/showme a person called yakkoTDI
@mediocrebot
Exact repica photo I presume.
What happened to your eyes?
@OnionSoup I looked into the trunk.
@OnionSoup @yakkoTDI If you gaze into the trunk too deeply, the trunk gazes into you.
@OnionSoup @werehatrack This line delivered by the trunk below.
/showme the trunk of yakkoTDI
@yakkoTDI Hah - I thought you’d get an elephant.
@Kyeh Me too.
/showme a person called metaphore

@duodec @mediocrebot it’s still quite cool looking in my opinion
@Cerridwyn Yours was amazing.
/showme a human named extramedium
@Kidsandliz I love the text on that that it actually got “right”
@OnionSoup I know. Die of shock.
Hey @extramedium it appears mediocrebot cheated on the showme command since it knows you.
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup
This is a drawing I made of myself when I was getting my degree in Art. Based on this image:
I do love the AI result though.
@ExtraMedium @OnionSoup Wait!!! What??? You morphed from a stuffed animal into a human? Heaven help all of us with an Irk in the home.

Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.

@mediocrebot @phendrick no punctuation mark I think is your problem. EDIT opps @cerridwyn already fixed it for you.
/showme a being named phendrick
@mediocrebot You have not been paying attention. That’s an existentially different phendrick.
/showme what Heartny looks like in the style of Van Gogh
@heartny That’s quite beautiful.
@Kyeh It is quite lovely. It looks like my wild and crazy hair.
@heartny How cool!
@heartny @Kyeh You ought to enlarge this, print it, and frame it.

I didn’t expect to be naked. I didn’t say paint me like one of your French girls.
@OnionSoup Maybe you’re just wearing very tight pants.
/showme the computer user named “xobzoo”
@mediocrebot Pretty close, but I only wear T-shirts as pajamas. And those don’t look like pajama pants.
Also, how does it get so close to replicating the names, but ends up one letter off? Like
carl669
→car669
.But then
gr8mick1
got it right (allowing for capitalization). And Irk right after that, but that’s so short I’m not impressed.extramedium
is an extraspecial case which I have no explanation for.@xobzoo Maybe I should start using that avatar of
xobzo
as my own. Though I might get accused of copying deadmau5, or maybe Michael Mouse.@xobzoo
Also, how does it get so close to replicating the names, but ends up one letter off?
Obviously the image caught you in mid log-in!
/showme Heartny on the planet Mars in a science fiction movie
@mediocrebot A fresh giant floating heart brain.
@heartny Maybe that’s how hot air balloons are decorated on Mars.
@mediocrebot Looks very much like the art for a 1950s or 1960s mass-market paperback cover.

Well, a pooltoy wolf is pretty easy to imagine!
@PooltoyWolf Sure, you say that now, but just wait until we ask AI to imagine it!
/showme a person named PooltoyWolf surrounded by others that are similar
@mediocrebot Wow. I think I would call that a failure based on what I had in my head, but maybe I should wait for the real @PooltoyWolf to weigh in.
(not only are the individual appearances not quite what I was looking for, I was hoping they would all be in the same scene)
@mediocrebot @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo but it actually spelled the name right
@mediocrebot @xobzoo Yep, humans are still better than AI
@mediocrebot @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo looks like 2 guys in the back share a head
@xobzoo not at all what I was expecting
@mediocrebot @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo @ybmuG
OH NO
/showme a pooltoy wolf enjoying sunshine on the beach
@mediocrebot Decidedly less human-looking than some in the last picture, but I think it’s much more reasonable.

@k4evryng @ybmuG My sister answered already - she used something called “Voilà.” I guess you submit your real photo and it gives you a “prettified” version of yourself. I wasn’t that impressed but it was several years ago. I think they have more sophisticated ones now. She also used Bing AI more recently and got some pretty impressive results:

@k4evryng You can delete the oopses within 5 minutes.
@k4evryng I think you can only do 10 a day. Maybe you reached your limit?

It might be counting my mistakes too.
@k4evryng @Kidsandliz
You can actually do 100 per day!
@k4evryng I don’t know, it doesn’t seem to know James Ensor either. Granted, Monet is a bigger name, but still…

@mediocrebot @phendrick
That’s a gorgeous image, though.
@Kyeh @mediocrebot @phendrick Maybe Schroedinger’s cat ate the vial.
/showme a person called looseneck
@mediocrebot what does this have to do with anything?
/showme the human named looseneck participating in this forum
@mediocrebot I wish my neck was that tight!
@looseneck for whatever reason, it took me a few seconds to make the connection between what you said and your user name.
And then I literally laughed out loud.
So funny!!
@k4evryng My neck wattle is so bad I have considered plastic surgery. Not gonna happen unless I win the lottery
@looseneck I hear ya! There are more than a couple of things I wish I could afford to do! And the older I get, the more pointless it seems…but a girl can dream, lol!

@mediocrebot @k4evryng
Oooh! So pretty - does this work for you?
@Kyeh Yay!! Thank you, lol!!
She actually resembles my sister, so that’s super cool!
I love Monet…his work is so peaceful…
@k4evryng That’s neat that it looks like your sister!
/showme a person named mossygreen in a painting by James Ensor
@mediocrebot @mossygreen Obviously he’s not familiar with James Ensor!
@Kyeh @mossygreen I think it’s time that @mediocrebot met James Ensor!

@mediocrebot wow! These definitely look like Siberians! I’m impressed!
/showme a person named braveit1
/showme an entity named brainmist
@brainmist This is cool.
@Kyeh yeah, I think I should have stuck with this.
/showme a dog named Schmoopie
/showme a person named brainmist
@mediocrebot Nope, first one was closer. And why does ‘brainmist’ default to male?"
@brainmist Because bots were trained by sexists and they assume that only men have brains?
/showme a seal-gray american staffordshire terrier named Schmoopie Blackthorn McKillicuddy
/showme a person named rainmist
@mediocrebot LOL, OK, I guess mediocrebot just assumes “a person” is male, although at least this one is more midpoint.
/showme Ax Lizzie
@mediocrebot AHAHAHA oh no.
@brainmist @mediocrebot Potentially scary, though - this lovely smiling doctor is actually
a psycho ax murderer!
/showme an axe murderess named brainmist with a gunmetal gray, stocky dog named Schmoopie, and a slinky black and white dog names Mephitidae.
@brainmist I already feel regret.
@brainmist I love the names on the bases of the minis.
/showme the ghost of Lizzie Borden in the style of Dali
@brainmist @mediocrebot Freaking terrifying at multiple levels!
/showme Lizzie Borden experiencing brainmist
/showme Heartny enjoying dinner with Barbie and Ken in a gourmet restaurant
@mediocrebot So which one is Heartny?
@heartny @mediocrebot Pretty certain Ken is the staff.
@heartny I can’t tell if Ken is enjoying his waiter gig or not, lol!
@brainmist So Heartny ended up as gnome for some reason?
@brainmist @heartny Wasn’t he the eighth dwarf who didn’t make the cut for the Disney film?
@heartny @k4evryng Pretty sure Ken is enjoying the waiter gig, he exists to serve (and surf, or at least look like it). He’s just Ken, and he’s OK with that.
@heartny @k4evryng @pmarin As we now know, his full name is “and Ken”.
@brainmist @heartny @mediocrebot Maybe the bot thought you meant Barbie and Kendra.

/showme kidsandliz and her 4 cats Tigger Lizzy Thingthing and Peaches
@mediocrebot Hmm that would be 5 cats… is merdiocrebot forelling the future? Or is the cat in my lap my kid?
@Kidsandliz @mediocrebot Well, regardless of how you rate it, you got a bonus cat named oddboll.
@Kidsandliz @mediocrebot @mehcuda67
Yeah, I like Oddboll!
@Kidsandliz obviously you have to go to the animal shelter and adopt a fifth cat now.
I would like to congratulate you on your soon to be 5th cat. (we have 6 although one adopted us and one was an accidental adoption so we should only have four)
@OnionSoup All of mine have been accidental adoptions. I live in 2 rooms. I had 5 until my oldest died 2 years ago at 3 mo shy of 20 (I had bottle fed her from 10 days old on). I think I need to stay at 4 as sometimes these guys think there isn’t enough room for all of them - of course they all want the same spots (eg on me) which is much of the problem. My current oldest just turned 14.
@Kidsandliz My wife and I both had two cats that we had had since college. Which is fine when they were young. They all lived to between ages of 19 and 21. Four elderly cats at the same time was not cheap with vet bills.
@OnionSoup You are so right. I had 3 elderly ones at once. You are right. Not cheap. Actually neither is even two of them. Of course younger ones can occasionally be expensive too. I currently have $825 sunk into Tigger at the moment (probably a bit more to go) and he is only born fall 2018. Not what I had planned so the tires will need to wait.
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup I really want to live in the alternate reality where we not only care enough to provide healthcare to everyone, but also recognize that animals improve human performance, and provide care to them as well.
/showme Schroedinger’s cat inside the box
looking at Schroedinger’s cat outside the box.
@mediocrebot Guess i didn’t specify the cat outside the box had to be seen. Those do look like two different cats, though.
/showme a poster of Dave from Meh as depicted by Shepard Fairey
@mediocrebot I’ve got a beard now, but yeah, pretty much.
@dave @mediocrebot Interesting the range that the bot considers “avarage”
/showme mediocrebot’s thought process
@mediocrebot It definitely favors gold gears and aura-like things. Though I think it reminds me of a physics experiment regarding light transmission. But that didn’t have the pretty gears, though.
@mediocrebot @pmarin
Which experiment was that, if you recall? I started out as a double major with physics and math, but then I switched to just math so I could graduate sooner (then got my Viet Nam-era draft notice, silly me).
The middle section reminds me of a fiber-optic cable unraveling.
/showme an adult man with a stubbly beard named OnionSoup photographed by Anne Geddes.
@mediocrebot Anne Geddes has apparently lost her style of photography.
/showme a man called OnionSoup as a disney character
/showme an inspirational poster featuring a bot called mediocrebot
@mediocrebot AVERAGE IS ENOUGH Embrace the average.
I feel inspired!
@mediocrebot @OnionSoup the bot is obsessed with average (or avarage)!
@mediocrebot @OnionSoup @ybmuG It’s not your avarage spelling!
@mediocrebot @mehcuda67 @OnionSoup @ybmuG Yet there is some Zen wisdom in
Just Be
@mediocrebot @OnionSoup
That should be the Meh motto. Wonder if the bot copyrighted it?
/showme Heartny and Mediocrebot competing on Guy’s Grocery Games show
@mediocrebot That’s so cute! Looks like Heartny has Guy’s hairstyle.
@heartny @mediocrebot Well also it’s quite impressive it knew the whole thing about what “Grocery Games” is and how it could be depicted in an animated humorous way. And also in a few seconds. Face it, we are doomed.
/showme OnionSoup as both a tasty dish and a human
@mediocrebot OnionSoup blissfully smelling onion soup. Cannibal!
@brainmist @mediocrebot “You are what you eat”
/showme heartny in the style of Chanel

@mediocrebot Perfect gift for Valentine’s Day
@heartny @mediocrebot The chocolates are already melted, if it’s from Meh.
/showme the wizard xobzoo with a pet dragon
@mediocrebot Umm, not quite what I was thinking. At all. But I guess that’s probably my fault.
/showme RPG character xobzoo who is a wizard standing with his party which includes a dragon, in a high fantasy style
@mediocrebot Considerably better, though not quite what I was trying for. But I feel like I could progressively tweak the prompt into what I wanted.
(pretending I was energetic enough to do that, and didn’t mind spamming the forum)
Maybe someday I’ll get around to realizing my dream of being an artist… through AI tools. And then pretend it doesn’t feel completely fake to call it “my” art.
Also, I’m not sure where the second dragon came from. Or why neither of the dragons seems sleek enough.
Maybe I needed to leave off the “high fantasy” in the prompt.
@xobzoo I kind of like the chubby dragons…at least they are well fed.
And I wouldn’t worry about spamming the forum. Those of us following this thread are here because we enjoy the creativity of both the human prompts, and the AI response. This one is really cool and I’d love to see how you tweak it to get what you’re looking for.
Seriously….y’all have amazing imaginations!

/showme our next president: mediocrebot
Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
@mediocrebot ah, you’re forbidden from showing political characters I guess.
@mediocrebot @OnionSoup … or perhaps, no matter which way this election of the two supposed nominees will happen, the phrase “Something went terribly wrong” is probably appropriate.
@mediocrebot @pmarin I’m writing in Mediocrebot as President. Maybe he’ll win.
@mediocrebot @OnionSoup @pmarin It’s been so long since I’ve done it, do they have captchas on write-ins? That could potentially be what keeps mediocrebot from getting elected.
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
/show me our next ruler: mediocrebot
@OnionSoup Doesn’t work with punctuation
Edit: Oh, it just proved me wrong!
@OnionSoup ducking autocorrect adding a space
@OnionSoup Oh right, that’s it.
/showme our next ruler: mediocrebot
@mediocrebot I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords!
/showme mediocrebot’s political manifesto
Sorry… I’m going off topic… I will stop.
@OnionSoup I like Memidorebot as a sci-fi character name. And that it’s manifesto is named “Paath” - the little red book for a new age
Soon to be a best seller!
@OnionSoup Mediocrebot clearly wants to take over the universe
/showme a menagerie containing a labradoodle, a little black and white dog, a gray tiger stripe cat, and a green parakeet named Andrew.
@danpritts this came out really neat!
I feel like it would be a great cover of a children’s book…except I’d totally fix the one cat’s eye, lol!
@k4evryng yeah, the Labradoodle in particular is great, although it doesn’t really look like ours. He has more of a poodle snout.
Also, bonus puffin!
/showme a minivan family sticker of mediocrebit figures
@mediocrebot “Average with mediocre skill level” seems like the right message
/showme mediocrebot meeting a Dalek
@mediocrebot That. Is. Not. A. Da-lek.
@mediocrebot @werehatrack
They do say:
EX-TER-MEH-NATE!
Maybe mediocrebot IS a Dalek.
A refurbished, factory blemished Dalek that is past it’s expiration date.
Either that, or Doctor Who is one of the greatest ad campaigns ever, so great, it started before meh even began.
/showme a New Year’s goat named pakopako
@mediocrebot magnificent
Not entirely sure what that is, but it’s magnificent.
/showme K4evryng with an acoustic guitar singing in a band of handsome men
@mediocrebot Interesting. I wanted to see how Mediocrebot handled handsome since it seems to be so into ‘avarage’
Not too shabby…
@k4evryng You look great too but those ripped jeans look kinda dumb!
@Kyeh I agree, lol! But my daughter would absolutely wear them. She has a pair that is more holes than material, and I internally cringe when she wears them.
I do have a pair with a few, small, well placed worn/ripped spots (as in…not directly on my a$$) that I think are cute…but that’s as far as I’d go at my age.
But these look like they’re one accident away from being cutoffs.
@k4evryng Yeah - I really wish that dumb trend would die! It doesn’t look like it’s going to anytime soon though.
@k4evryng @Kyeh I’m of the opinion that those are way overdue to be made into shorts. I’m also not a big fan of the fraying-hem look, so I’d have to serge the edges and make a proper hem - which can be a challenge with those lapped seams.

I’m assuming it’s like a Vandross burger (that uses glazed donuts instead of bread buns)
