Sigh. I asked Grok to animate this photo, and it made this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/pYdELhjAhipf3z9F9 Which you’ll notice suddenly has the main’sl up and where is the gunmount spinnaker pole???
What do you expect? These systems just spit back what they have been trained on, I guess mostly asymmetrical spinnakers (i.e. no poles at all) and yet what it gives is clearly a symmetrical spinnaker flying unrealistically. It does not even recognise your nice laminate mainsail.
Happy new year
I asked it to design a hard dodger concept for my 40/40. The result is entertaining to say the least.
I couldn’t resist.
My Gemini prompt
“Please write me a short excuse for why my AI generated picture looks so goofy”
Response;
It happens to the best of us! AI can be a bit of a “digital surrealist” sometimes. Here are a few short, lighthearted excuses you can use depending on the vibe you want:
The “Artistic” Excuse
- "I was going for a ‘post-modern fever dream’ aesthetic. I think the AI really nailed the chaos."
- "It’s not a glitch; it’s an avant-garde interpretation of reality."
- "I told the AI to be creative, and it clearly took that personally."
The “Technical” Excuse
- "The prompt and the processor had a fundamental disagreement about how many fingers humans are supposed to have."
- "I think the AI stayed up too late scrolling through Dalí paintings before I sent the prompt."
- "The algorithm decided to hallucinate a little extra flavor today."
The Self-Deprecating Excuse
- "This is what happens when you let a math equation try to finger-paint."
- "Evidence that the robot uprising is still a few years away—they haven’t mastered ears yet."
- "I asked for a masterpiece; I got a meme. I’m not even mad."
Would you like me to try and generate a cleaner version of the image for you, or help you tweak the prompt to fix the “goofy” parts?
