This morning, I was looking for an image that could use on social media in recognition of Remembrance Day. Of course I would just grab an image from a Google Search, but in the world of AI image creation tools I figured I would follow that path.
As we know, some of these tools seemingly just have minds of their own. Perhaps this is something I’m personally not helping with, but I would think the conversation I had with Copilot would not need to be any different, and the results of the thread are just suppressing to me.
My first prompt to Copilot was:
Can you create me a Remembrance Day image that I can use on social media?
This was the image that was returned. Actually, almost perfect and what I was looking for, except one thing…
I then queried Copilot:
Why have you spelled “FORGET” with two Gs?
which got the reply:
Whoops, that’s an embarrassing typo. Let’s get a cleaner version for you without the double “G” in “FORGET.”
Copilot paused at this point, and without outputting anything new within about two minutes, I prompted again:
OK, where is the new image, can you create this again with the correct spelling?
This is the new image that Copilot came back with:
At this point I was getting intrigued with this, as this was a little to, well, kumbaya-ish and not really what I was looking for. Pretty odd to be honest, based on the previous conversation about “Remembrance Day” and the words honor and commemorate.
I prompted Copilot:
OK, this is a little Kumbaya and not really what I want. I want something more solemn and respectful to those who served in the Military and have lost their life.
The AI engine then created this:
So now I was starting to become confused myself – this didn’t seem like a hard ask, and why was Copilot struggling so much with this?
I added a new prompt:
OK, but I’m not sure you are getting this. I wanted a Rememberance Day image. The USA doesn’t celebrate this day, it is more a British and Commonwealth thing whereby we remember those that have made the ultimate sacrifice in war.
This time AI worked up this image for me:
OK, great image, but just not what I’m looking for. Remember the first image, that was perfect except for the spelling mistake.
Again, returning to the conversation:
I’m not sure this is really what I’m looking for. The first image with the cloudy sky and poppy field was perfect, but the words had a spelling mistake. I’d like that same image but without the spelling mistake. Can you do that?
Copilot returns with:
Oh boy – now there are no words at all!
Returning to the conversation, I entered:
Well, this is definately similar to the first image, but now there are no words at all. I would like it to say “Lest We Forget” with the cloudy sky and the poppy field.
This time Copilot returns with:
Even now, with the request and the response both clearly stating, “Lest We Forget” the AI created image has the text “Let We Forget”.
At this point I gave up!
