Was originally meant to be a meltdown, but well, this is dystopian enough.

My partner suggested this prompt as kind of a joke based on an earlier conversation, but I did it anyway. Really happy with the results!

In Bing Image Creator, DAL-E 3

Prompt: "a robot made of analog stereo equipment, reel to reel tape player, and industrial robot arms.

it is a skilled dancer dancing on a sidewalk as a busker, with a container to collect money from people passing by"

And just for contrast, this is what I got with "10000 cats"

This was supposed to be something entirely different, but well, who am I to say no to a cute Cthulhu?

I was playing around with getting Nixie Tubes to display all the relevant numbers in a car.

Although wildly unsafe to have this much glass in a car interior, I think it looks great, so I kept running variations.

I really liked the lit glass ball on the shifter, but it would always make the Nixie Tubes unreadable. Maybe the next update to DAL-E will be able to handle both ideas at once.

The tubes across the top of the dashboard seem especially awful for safety, and asking for "a ridiculous amount of Nixie Tubes" got me so many on the center console that they would be unreadable IRL. Also, it filled in the floor space, making at least the passenger side and sometimes the whole interior unusable.

Lastly, the one I posted over on imageai community for my 100th post on Lemmy.
