Had to pick between two AI art tools for a client's weird request
A client needed a logo for his new food truck, 'The Sentient Sausage'. He wanted the sausage to look like it was thinking. I had to choose between two AI image makers I use, Midjourney and DALL-E 3. The choice was, do I try to describe a 'philosophical sausage' in a prompt, or do I feed it a sketch first? I went with the detailed prompt in DALL-E, typing 'a sausage with a tiny thinking bubble above it, filled with math equations and a tiny planet'. It gave me a sausage floating in space next to a blackboard. Totally wrong. After three tries, I gave up and just drew a dumb face on a hot dog in Photoshop. He loved it. Has anyone else had an AI totally miss the point on a simple idea?

Ever try to get an AI to put a hat on a cat? I spent an hour describing a tiny cowboy hat, and it gave me a cat made of bacon. Sometimes the old ways are just faster.

Wait, you typed "a sausage with a tiny thinking bubble" and it gave you a sausage floating in space? That's completely unhinged. How does it mix up a simple cartoon thought bubble with the void of space? I swear these tools sometimes just grab one fancy word from your prompt and run wild with it, ignoring all the normal instructions. It's like they have no common sense at all. You'd think "thinking bubble" is pretty clear, but I guess not.
