I finally committed to the “Plus” ($20 a month) version of ChatGPT and have been finding more and more things to use it for, and trying my best not to use it as lazy google.  Hum de dum and I’m looking at making an AI Policy for TQuist,  as well as provide information to readers about AI Policies and why everyone should have one, and I think – “I’d love to have an image for this I can use on the WordPress site.”  I have very little experience with Sora, but I think my description is good and specific enough so I give it a shot, heh heh, like a training shot.  Here’s my prompt:

<PROMPT>

I’ve uploaded a png of tquist logo.  The image has a maze like illustration atop the text “TQuist”

I am creating an image to use with a tquist.com webpage that uses divi theme and this will go into a “Blurb” that I am adding to a page about AI.

The image should be square.  I want the left portion of the image to use the maze like illustration from the TQuist logo.  On the right side of the image I want a short stack of papers, slightly askew, that read two lines:

TQuist

AI Policy

I want the style of the image to be playful drawing

</PROMPT>

And here are the results:

I mean, granted, I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to art but pretty much nailed exactly what I had in mind, based on a very basic prompt.

I know a good Graphic Designer could probably ace this in 15 minutes, but would a really good and fast one want to?  And then there’s mentally reconciling the external cost of a good Graphic Designer vs. my $20 ChatGPT subscription.

I might have refined either of those images to get *exactly* what I wanted – e.g. I liked the stack of papers better on the picture on the right.  I could have worked further which would have meant spending more time, and more compute resources, but I chose not to refine further, as I know that both of the pictures were completely adequate for what I requested.
