AI can go to hell

AI's response:

Honestly, I am both excited by the Sci-Fi special mash-up idea, exactly the sort of thing Sci-Fi specials should be for,
and also tickled by those instant AI efforts, Funt! But I'm aware it's going to be a rather steep slope from me pointing and laughing at the AI crudeness today, to me licking the (rust-proof) boots of a robot master tomorrow.

I'm gently predicitng that AI art and writing will be fashionable for a couple of years, and then human creativity will come back to the fore, and then we'll settle down into a sort of hybrid thing where we all accept that a human prompting and tweaking an AI generator is still art.

I will never accept.

Okay, there's Doyle.  Where's Bodie?

I prompted the AI thusly: "Bodie and Doyle from The Professionals, but both dressed up as a Judge from the world of Judge Dredd."

And it did this:

Man, that Rogue Trooper pose is giving me serious Ian Gibson vibes! In a good way.

It's John McCrea, who can channel Gibson quite effectively without appearing to slavishly imitate him... which is a neat trick!

[Colin YNWA]

I'm curious how excited I am about more Intestinauts. Really looking forward to it!

Think it might just been with the last couple of line-ups want something a bit light a fun but good and this one ticks those boxes.
