Botober 2024
Back by popular demand, here are some AI-generated drawing prompts to use in this, the spooky month of October!
Longtime AI Weirdness readers may recognize some of these. That's because this is a throwback list, all the way back to the times of very tiny language models. These models had not feasted on huge chunks of the internet, but had sipped delicately on hand-curated artisanal datasets. They trained rather slowly on a single Macbook Pro. Could they write your term paper for you? Sure, if you don't mind that your term paper consists of a list of garbled and occasionally obscene nail polish colors.
Long live the very tiny language model!
Training data:
1-5: Nail polish colors (2018)
9-12: Dungeons and Dragons spell names (2017)
13-16: Knitting pattern names (2018)
17-20: Heirloom apples (2018)
21-24: Cookie recipe titles (2018)
25-31: Halloween costumes (2017)
If you create anything from or inspired by these art prompts, I'd love to see what you make! Tag your art with #botober or #botober2024 on Tumblr, Instagram, Bluesky, or Mastodon!
