I told I wanted an ASCII art of a volvo driving in Texas. It first told me I had to sign in to create images. I told it I wasn't asking for an image, but ASCII art. It then complied with something that doesn't look like a Volvo, and definitely has nothing that even stereotypically looks Texan.

For those who might care or just be curious. I was able in a few minutes to get #Codeium to create a #python script to do this. It made a couple of missteps, but I was able to guide it in the right direction and end up with this #ascii art.

Ooh that's quite good. This just inspired me to reinstall ASCIICam on my phone.

Here is my Honda Fit covered in snow.

Note that my ASCII art is only 120 characters wide, so my detail is a bit clunkier. The script is configurable.

knitter,

@cs At least it tried. Gpt2-chatbot probably would have done a better job.

@knitter Possibly. Let's see:

Nope.

@knitter Copilot at least looks like a car. ChatGPT's looks like, well, "some car-like features" 😂

knitter,

@cs Fair enough. I was actually referring to the new model that hasn't been officially released yet.

@knitter yes, I didn’t want to sign up for anything so admittedly this is ChatGPT 3.5 on the web.

I must say this isn't going well. Copilot has crappy ASCII art skilz.

I'm not sure at all what that Dallas skyline is supposed to be. (It also didn't improve the Volvo)

I'm guessing that there isn't a big corpus of ASCII art for it to draw on, but you'd think it would "know" how to take a bitmap, process it and make an ASCII art piece. So theoretically it could fabricate some image of a Volvo, dunk it in a processor and come out with ASCII art of something it "made."

I think that's what's left of Dallas after the owl Kaiju tramples all the tall buildings
