Artificial Intelligence: Art

The Owl and the Pussycat

Putting the Art into AI

The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat, They took with them a handsome bouquet Of flowers that were fresh and afloat.

With roses, daisies, and violets galore, Their boat was a veritable bower. The Owl and the Pussycat danced with glee, Propelled by a snow-white rower.

Image by NightCafé, poem by ChatGPT — haha, ChatGPT, fumez-vous le jeu de mots? — with the soul exception of the final line by me in place of the rather more pedestrian “As they sailed off into the sea” deployed by the robot.

Not quite perfect but certainly impressive. The idea came from this prompt, set up by someone with way more experience than me. All I did was change a few words around.

ChatGPT is equally impressive, though it does best when handed a good model. Just ask for The Ballad of John and Yoko without Yoko.
