Distant angry creature the size of a mountain, blue eyes and volcanic mouth, emerging from the ground, looks down at the city. Storm clouds overhead. Dark mountains behind. Cinematic long shot. (Plus selected "Photo," "Chaotic," and "Hyper realistic.")

Note the resemblance to a gorilla. It turns out that Firefly can remix its training data but can't stray far beyond it, if at all. Three-eyed granite monster? Not possible. Serpent with three heads? Not possible. Elephant with two trunks that are actually snakes? That's possible, especially when what you asked for is an elephant and a python.

Haha I feel you Alan. Even with two eyes, he looks really miffed!

It was an interesting exercise in probing the limits of diffusion models like Firefly. It's been clear for some time that you can't get anything sensible from a Large Language Model if you probe beyond its training data, but I hadn't experimented with any of the diffusion models.

GenAI, contrary to the hype, is not able to be creative. Firefly fails spectacularly when you ask for things outside the boundary of its training data and/or that require comprehension of a general concept like "hand." Its aliens are all of a type familiar for decades, it can't put three different animals in an image without getting their parts mixed up, and we all know about the "wrong number of fingers" problem. As far as I can tell, the same applies to Dall-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, but I don't have the available noodling time to delve into them as deeply.

People can use genAI in creative ways, but there's no innovation or originality coming from the AI itself.
