So ereyesterday I had discovered the beautiful art of Robert Walsh, which I thought would be nice to illustrate The Apinautica. It further occurred to me that my moral objections to AI don't apply so much to art that is based on stuff already in the public domain, so let's see if the AI can create art in the style of Robert Walsh. I consulted my computer savvy friend Mick and he recommended bing copilot as being free and able to be used immediately. We begin with already its third attempt at Cappadocia:



Look at that, it knows what it's done! I haven't even brought up hot air balloons and its immediately making excuses!!

At this point I gave up. I suppose its gratifying really to find that it seems, at least if this AI is representative of others, that it cannot seem to make art that doesn't "look like AI," mimic a specific artist's style well, or, apparently, resist the uncontrollable urge to include hot air balloons.
Also I realize there's no reason to be polite to the AI but I rather feel like how you address even the AI reflects upon yourself. I'd feel dirty just shouting orders at it.
Wait, one more!
