Fun with A.I.: 4

My recent sharing of my efforts to create images and videos using artificial intelligence (A.I.) struck a chord with many readers. Some have shared their experiences with me in private messages. You can see my own results here.

Two readers, ‘P’ and ‘FB’ separately kindly consented to let me publish some of their work.

First ‘P’.

He asked Grok for a still image of some senior Etonians who were to be spanked, caned and birched.  Here’s one of the photos it produced. ‘P’ says, ‘all the language about the detail of those impending experiences was entirely generated by Grok.  I assume Grok is drawing on requests or stories written by many users of this blog!’

Many of us know that Grok is improving all the time, but ‘P’ says he was frustrated, ‘because despite amazing detail Grok is not able to generate a proper English school cane and second, active and well produced corporal punishment seems to elude Grok for now.’

He adds, ‘With actual caning being off the table, I have tried to have recipients queuing listening to others being disciplined.  I have had a limited success with both queues and giving good instructions to Grok on what it should sound like.  I would be delighted to see on this blog any thoughts on how best to persuade Grok to do this!’

Here are some examples:

‘P’ also created scenes after the caning. Like these:

‘P’ says, ‘I can also recommend asking Grok to zoom in on parts of the picture if that is your sort of thing.  See here this rugby captain about to be disciplined at a traditional school.’

Meanwhile, ‘FB’ tried to recreate his own schooldays with a still image and video. He reports, ‘We wore suits at the grammar school I attended for the sixth form so the still image of the boy in the grey suit is an attempt to imagine what I would have been like receiving four strokes for missing lessons.’

‘FB’ also got Grok to create a video of the scene. He says, ‘The video, as always, cannot reproduce the firmness of the strokes, but I have tried to be a bit sophisticated with my little story.’

‘FB’ also got Grok to create a video based on a still photograph which was originally a screenshot from a Sting Pictures movie. ‘FB’ says, ‘The scenario I had in mind was of a young man asking an older man about what the school cane was actually like.’

‘FB’ says he tried about twenty times to get a reasonable video. Here are two of the attempts.

Thank you to both ‘P’ and ‘FB’ for allowing me to share their work. If other readers have A.I. produced material that they’d like to show me (not necessary to be published on the blog), please use the email address below.
