botober (11. 886)

Back by popular demand, our trusty AI Wrangler, Janelle Shane (previously), produces a list of art prompts for the month of Drawtober, traditionally a daily sketching challenge (see below), generated by AI. This time however the list is an homage to the early days of very tiny language models and neural networks—not gluttonously siphoned from the public internet but rather hand-feed from carefully curated data, including past exercises like heirloom apples and Halloween costumes. Predictably no fun, here is the illustration that ChatGPT came up with for today’s cue, Collide Loopstorm. Maybe it would be more perplexed by some of the others like Deathmop, Hallowy Maples or Hobbats but these must be worked in chronological order, lest one awakens the curse. Much more at the links above.
