Notes
Some time ago my son became very interested in snakes (a development made especially humorous by the fact that his mom is has a major phobia of them (I checked. It's called ophidiophobia)). Naturally, as he learned about different species, he developed an ordered list of his favorites. And, as children are wont to do, he insisted that we all hear the list. The caption is an exact quote that was uttered by him at the dinner table while I was in the midst of another conversation. Thus, all I had to do was modify the circumstances a bit and out came today's comic.
It took a lot more iterations to get to a workable image than I would have expected. The model gets antsy when you combine children and weapons, so I had to convince it that the kid was going to be ok. Then it kept putting him in the front seat rather than the back. Even in this final version, all it did was shift his seat a little. There is no front seat. Talk about sloppy. It also wanted the kid to be looking at the cops and reacting to them because it didn't understand that he needed to be oblivious to the whole thing. I repeatedly tried to make it so the kid was looking at his dad, but I couldn't get it right. It also kept putting the police in unrealistic positions where they were clipping into the car or pointing their guns at each other.
Another fun story about this one: I do not include mentions of race, sex, or most physical characteristics in the prompt unless it's important. (The latter two sometimes are; I've not had to mention race as of yet). Despite that, the image generation model always defaults to white people and nearly always assumes male. The only times it ever has used non-whites are:
- When generating unrelated groups of people
- This comic The father and son were black in nearly all of the early versions that I didn't use. I'll leave any conclusions to be drawn about this up to you readers.
Oh, I almost forgot. The answer is King Cobra.
