School Photos
Two school administrators stand in front of a preschool. They are watching a photographer unload equipment from a van. The name of the company is printed on the side of the van. It says, "School Shooters Photography." Beneath the name is a slogan that says, "Capturing your children so they'll never age." A sign in front of the school reads, "Serenity Preschool" with changeable text that says, "FALL PICTURES: DRESS AS YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED!" Text on image: "I understand your concerns, but they come highly recommended."

Notes

I'm from the school of thought that thinks there is no, and I mean literally zero, subject that can't or shouldn't be joked about. The people who tune the major AI models do not appear to agree with me. So, as it turns out, ChatGPT doesn't really like you making jokes about school shootings. It took a bit of finagling to get this one generated.

"What is art?" is an eternal question that has no widespread agreement. If you ask me, prompting an image model to generate a clever comic is an art form. It's essentially joke writing. In fact, there are comics that divide the duties of writer and illustrator, and I don't think many people would declare one an artist and the other not. But is sidestepping the guardrails also art? I don't know. I don't think so. But it certainly adds a level of difficulty to the process.
