the one thing i like about generative ai is when it is wrong. because it is always very, very funny. it is so confident and so enthusiastic while failing, like the very best clown. so, i'm here to tell you that there MAY be NOTHING FUNNIER than asking ai to do ASCII drawings. here's donald duck:

lisa kudrow from friends. ("it's stylized and a bit abstract, like a posterized outline — evoking her kind and expressive Phoebe Buffay energy!")

fred flintstone. ("Here's our favorite prehistoric everyman!" hahahah my god)

realistic fred flintstone. ("Big nose, thick eyebrows, stubbly chin and that signature goofy grin!")

fred flintstone and barney rubble. ("Fred taller, broader, with his tie. Barney shorter and rounder with his cheerful grin.")

(also please don't worry i will take fewer showers next week to make up for this)

oh wait one more. it did, somehow, make the best possible drawing of a chibi donald duck:

I also will commit to a couple fewer showers, for I have sinned
