  • My Youtube follower @MostlyLoveOfMusic said they were having trouble trying to get AI to make an image of a bicycle made of cheese.

    “…it will give some hybrid bicycle/cheese shape, but I couldn’t get it to draw something with the shape of a bicycle but the texture/material of cheese. You had any better luck with this sort of thing?”

    I thought it might be the way they wrote the prompt. Their question suggested to me a very simple prompt, which I thought gave me a couple of images that I felt fit the brief and and art director would be happy to use – especially if they aren’t paying an illustrator.

    What do you think of these two images from DAll•E/Chat GPT?

    And this colour version?
