“Giant rat in Smart Car dragster, color cartoon in Big Daddy Roth 1960s style”

DALL-E 2 didn’t pick up on the Smart car suggestion, but it did a fine job of emulating the style of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth.

Change “Car” to “fortwo”.

“Giant rat in Smart Fortwo dragster, color cartoon in Big Daddy Roth 1960s style”

That helped—top right and bottom left are closer to what I had in mind, but neither immediately say “Smart”. The rats, however, are just fine.

It seems to have a bias toward putting the steering wheel on the right of the car even greater than the bias toward putting the rat on the right.

Super cool project. It’s interesting to see how these image generation tools represent descriptions from scriptures, myths, and legends, for which we must rely on our imagination. It’s also fun to depict scenes from science fiction and fantasy novels.

From The Hobbit, “Bilbo Baggins meets Gollum in a cave with a pool by Caravaggio”.

I wonder which one is supposed to be Gollum?

Having recently read The Ringworld Engineers, I was trying to generate a picture of the ringworld horizon. Instead, I got these images reminiscent of Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, set on another planet or in space. The prompt was “the Ringworld horizon, artist’s impression, Louis Wu standing on the Rim Wall”.
