Far out! After reading this — (3) 125 Tests of the New AI Siri - by David Pogue:

41. Make a photo of a turtle in rocket skates. (Opens Image Playground and makes it.)

I tried "make an image of a Kiwi on a rocket". Seconds later:

@Miraz Simon Willison has long used ‘a pelican riding a bicycle’ as a benchmark to test all AI models as they emerge.

Not bad at all (using Siri)

@JohnPhilpin It’s all so amazing. What fun I (who have zero artistic ability) could have had with this power when I was a child!

@Miraz I like the touch that the kiwi is wearing a space helmet. I didn’t specify that.

@Miraz I’m wondering whether to hold off with GG until there’s an off switch for the A.I.

@Miraz very similar rocket to the Apple 🚀 emoji too, a nice twist.

@Miraz you also didn’t seem to specify what kind of rocket 😂

@ThisCJ I read there is some off switches in the accessibility settings somewhere… @Miraz

@Miraz @dubh the Ars review said not :(

@dubh @Miraz also, what’s with turning on things the user has turned off? That’s a Zuckerberg-level trick

@ThisCJ I had to actually turn it on (and was added to a waiting list which took only a day or so to let me in).

@dubh Yes, a cute picture.

@Miraz were you on the beta?

@ThisCJ No, I don’t do betas these days.
