I did a bunch of AI art using Bing for an RPG I made earlier this year, when it was running on Dall-E 2. It was decent enough with some really good stuff, but I had to do a lot of culling - maybe 1 image out of 10 generated was useable. Came back to Bing last week to make something else, and was blown away by the difference Dall-E 3 makes. :stare:

1980s Cannon movies that didn't exist but should have (my text):


Guess the old PlayStation 1 game:

Fear Effect 2, with Hana, Rain and the Planner
(Ironically the first game's remake just got cancelled, but since they turned it into a cover shooter in TYOOL 2023, that's not really surprising.)

I spent a stupid amount of time trying to fine-tune Bing's prompts for basically "what if Judge Dredd, but a woman?" only to discover that "dredd" is now an actual prompt. (Which usually gives you a weird mix of the comic uniform and the Stallone movie helmet, but meh.)

Is there any way to force Bing to do full-length images of people? I'm trying to get people walking some distance from the camera, but it insists on doing closeups (mid-thigh upwards if I'm lucky). I've tried "long shot", "distant", even different lens types, but it almost always comes in too close.

Haven't tried Bing, but usually "full body shot" does the trick.
You'd think...

Although I did eventually (sometimes) get the result I wanted by using the brush icon in Bing Chat to clear the conversation after each prompt, which seems to force a reset of sorts and get it out of its one-track mind. (I had one batch where despite the prompt beginning "night" every result was in broad daylight until I cleared the thread.)

Edit: my contribution to the 'Batman is unhappy with his fast food' theme - Bing, prompt "realistic,dramatic angle,action,enraged bat-themed superhero furiously stamps on a disappointing burger,splattering ketchup,grimy nyc alley"

Lol, got a one hour probe from Bing for 'content violations' despite it having happily churned out dozens of images from all but identical prompts earlier. Don't know if this is a case of cumulative frowns adding up, or one altered word making it throw a fit. (I was creating a scene where I wanted to change the pose of someone's legs, FWIW.)

I've noticed if you don't get stopped right at submission if the algorithm figures out halfway your prompt may be problematic it'll throw the blowfish error at you.
There have definitely been cases with my prompts where Bing Chat has waffled and given me a "too busy, try again later" or blowfish where doing it via BIC in Firefox or whatever would straight-up give a content warning (I use the prompt "trans" a lot), but very slightly changing the prompt puts it through immediately.

Just wish there was a transparent way to ask "Okay, why did you have a problem with that? Especially when a 99% identical prompt was accepted with no trouble."

Getting irked with Bing because completely innocuous prompts (like people singing karaoke in a pub or someone standing in the Italian countryside) are getting the dog-with-dropped-egg unsafe warning maybe two times out of three. I'm wondering if because I got probed yesterday that it's being ultra picky about content.

Just worked out that on a basis of my saving an average of two images per prompt (probably less than that, but whatever) and an alleged price per Dall-E credit of $0.13, over the past two weeks or so I've cost Microsoft at least $216.12. :laffo: Makes up for paying for my Office 365 subscription.

Is Bing completely down for anyone else? I haven't managed to get it to generate anything for about half the day now. (I tried as I was writing this and thought it had started working again, but then I got the "high demand" blowfish, and when I double-clicked on the sidebar to see if it was making any progress I got 'prompt blocked'. Seriously? For "xenomorph bursting out of person-shaped birthday cake"?)

Edit: got it working again, briefly. The only prompt it generated four pics of was "cute dachshund puppy in pedal car", so even though none of my other prompts had anything even vaguely problematic in them, it's still being overzealous in culling them.

Oh well, time to look into something I can run on my computer while I'm working for anything that might get caught by the ridiculous prudery filters on Bing.

Welp, the Bing banhammer just dropped on me, again for :wtc: reasons. I was making a funny out-of-context pic of a fantasy demon-hunting woman and a demon carrying his groceries at a bus stop, which I made a few days ago with no trouble - I'd saved the prompt in a text file so pasted it in. This time, though, something kept triggering the content warning, and after a few attempts to get around the problem I got permanently suspended. I've appealed, so we'll see what happens. (I also mentioned getting a 24-hour probe for changing a clothing colour from black to pink.)

But the content filters have gone loving batshit now. I was doing a cyberpunk cop; "body armour with police markings", no problem. "Body armour with yellow police markings"? Nuh-uh. Another fantasy warrior woman, with "battered" armour - absolutely not. Change it to "scuffed" armour and through it goes. It's almost like the Scunthorpe problem, even in 2023 - context in the prompts is being ignored and it just seems to be 'do two particular words which in combination may be problematic appear, y/n', like "battered" and "woman". (Despite this I still got an unrequested bare rear end in a pic of 'two trans women jumping for joy at the top of a grassy hill' - like, what the hell?)

Anyway, here's some stuff I managed to make before being banned.

'psychedic happy dogs flying in a circle around a smiling sun'


'realistic,old polaroid/110 film,goths enjoying themselves at a goth club,1980s'


'realistic humanoid octopus wearing heavy metal t-shirt eating burger in a messy kitchen'


A couple of 2000AD characters: Joe Pineapples and attempts at Judge Death. "The crime isss lettucccccce... the ssssentenccce isss DEATH!" (I couldn't get the portcullis visor on his helmet no matter what prompts I tried. :smith: )

Holy poo poo, it works. :stare: So I got banned for clown reasons, and unbanned myself because of their clown security. What a bunch of clowns.

Edit: and Bing is being as arbitrary as ever with its definition of unsafe content. "photorealistic,slimy eyeless alien xenomorph monster in style of hr giger,wearing tuxedo and top hat & holding an elegant cane,tap dancing on stage of Victorian theater" - no problem, but the seats are all empty. "photorealistic,slimy eyeless alien xenomorph monster in style of hr giger,wearing tuxedo and top hat & holding an elegant cane,tap dancing on stage of crowded Victorian theater" - egg dog.



Edit edit: you can't say "747" without getting the egg dog, you have to say "jumbo jet" (made of spaghetti). And "walking across Abbey Road zebra crossing" with everything else from a successful prompt staying the same gets you a "keep this poo poo up and you'll be suspended" warning. :wtc:

I had a run of Bing images where all the people came out as uncanny valley CGI-looking mannequins, which I found could be fixed by making the first prompt either 'polaroid' or '110 film', which forced it to produce photorealistic results with actual humans. (Though '126 film' and '35mm film' for some reason got the unsafe content warning, even using the exact same prompts as with the other film formats. Maybe I should have tried Imax. :iiam: )

I'm finding the opposite - I'm getting quite pissed off at pasting in a previously used prompt and then having to play "guess which one word Bing has now decided is unsafe" multiple times before it will produce anything but the egg dog. :argh:

Did make some decent xenomorphs in weird alien environments, but even then it would sometimes object to another run with the exact same prompt!

Edit: it must have been trained on Rob Liefeld pictures, because it's doing everything possible to avoid drawing feet. Full length, full figure, long shot, whole body in frame, standing on a rug - nope, you'll get people framed from the knees up and like it!

Incidentally, because BIC seems to be down tonight I used it via the Bing Chat AI, and it's become suspiciously toned-down - the chatbot now refuses to make anything photorealistic and defaults to an obvious CGI look for both places and people. The prompt 'trans woman wearing [cute outfit] dancing with woman (who is her wife) wearing same outfit" also changed on processing to '...dancing with friends'.

I think you get the eggdog if it produces an image that's been generated using an element that MS has decided is tagged as 'unsafe' (even if there was nothing in your prompt that you'd think would be), and it catches it before displaying - if all four in a run are caught, you get egged. I was using BIC on my phone yesterday when it was running slow, and for a split-second four images would flash up before being culled down to less. I've often found that you can send an eggdogged prompt again and it'll deliver something, so maybe it worked from a similar but non-tagged element.

If you have something in your prompt that's prohibited it gets pissy almost immediately, so it probably doesn't even pass it on from Bing to Dall-E.

It's all potluck, though. I've had images giving me unrequested bare butts and breasts, nip-slips, blood and gore...

A dumb joke from my childhood finally becomes fake-real: the justly forgotten yet unaccountably long-running cop show, Hodgson & Tooler!



Beginning in the mid-70s in the wake of tough-cop movies and shows like Dirty Harry, Kojak, Starsky & Hutch and Mitchell, Hodgson & Tooler starred Lance Clinntock and Debbie MacCue as the titular mismatched police officers. Executive meddling and Clinntock's limited acting ability and numerous substance addictions saw the show swing wildly in tone; a running joke in Hollywood was that there was not a new bandwagon that the show wouldn't leap upon from week to week. But for some reason, possibly MacCue's satin wardrobe which made her the fourth most popular pin-up in America in both 1975 and '77, it was popular enough to be renewed season after season. (MacCue hated her costumes and the overt sexualization of her character, but was trapped on the show due to an expired work visa; she was actually Australian and had to adopt a fake Arkansas accent for the entire run to avoid the attention of the INS.)



As the show continued into the 1980s, it lost all sight of its originally intended gritty tone and instead stole cues from other (more) popular shows like Knight Rider, Miami Vice and Remington Steele. It was in this period that its most notorious episode aired: 'A Million Magic Crystals' saw Hodgson and Tooler trapped in a booby-trapped drugs warehouse, forcing Hodgson to consume two full kilos of pure cocaine to deactivate a time-bomb. Clinntock, at the height of his narcotics addiction, eagerly performed the action as required, but was unaware that the cocaine in the scene was fake and was hospitalized for two weeks with flour-clogged nasal passages.



The success of Moonlighting brought a hurried revamp for the show, cranking up the sexual tension between Hodgson and Tooler to a level that even the talented yet under-utilized MacCue, who loathed Clinntock with the intensity of a thousand blazing suns, could not successfully carry off. It was during this period, when the producers were desperately throwing in every gimmick imaginable to maintain audience interest (pro wrestling! Beach patrol! Vampires!), that a guest appearance by up-and-coming underground comedian 'Eager' Beaver Pippin as a fast-talking alien proved popular enough to bring about the show's final incarnation...



The final half-season before cancellation saw the leads transported into the future by a magical amulet to continue their work in a new milieu, the show being retitled Hodgson & Tooler: Space Cops. However, this was a shift too far even for the dwindling remaining viewers, and plunging ratings saw it brought to an abrupt end. The final episode shot was never broadcast due to a copyright infringement lawsuit by 20th Century Fox, after which all film, negatives, scripts and props connected to it were incinerated; only a single Polaroid taken by a studio visitor survives.
