So awesome. Rocky Horror Show. I was put off using Bing as you need to sign up, but I'm going to have to join!

Unfortunately I couldn't get an attack helicopter to shrug.

Spoiler

A black hawk helicopter hovering by a giant cyan brick wall, realistic

@C.Born has created a copy of the Lord of the Rings image. This is GigaScreen, so only works on emulators that support this. Chris recommends Retro Virtual Machine. The file is attached.

Spoiler

a fat green grub sitting on a microchip, above it is a lightbulb and sparks coming from its tail. all view through a magnifying glass, the rest is a black with the words "fat worm" and "blows a sparky" below

That face looks just like Hilary Clinton.

How about this one?



Other images (first I tried Craiyon, but it's rubbish so switched to Adobe Firefly):



My prompt:

Spoiler

mischievous grinning old female witch with long nose and long chin and green hair and magenta cloak using a stick to stir a cauldron containing red bubbling liquid at night in a dark place with a black background and spooky lighting

I swear I never included the word "crooked" in my prompt!

Good lord. I didn't expect this...





I typed something like 'two Wizard's fighting with magic in front of a straw hut. Cartoon style.'

Looks Underwurldey

This was Kokotoni Wilf.

I tried to edit the original post but couldn't. Is editing disabled on the forum?

[R-Tape]

This was Kokotoni Wilf.

I meant to guess that!

Sending you a PM

That's worked pretty well for FEUD. The left hand one is dressed in purple at least.

Hope I'm not late for this awesome thread.

I tried to make it a little bit friendlier.

Very cool. What was the search prompt, and which engine? I can't get Midjourney to spell the simplest word properly.

My first thought was Yie Ar Kung Fu, but maybe Bruce Lee and Great Yamo is more likely?

thank you very much, i will get a cloud some where my self
but
afaik it works on all emulators but only a few have correct timing, so this IS an "eleptic worning" moment but only if yr emulator is out-of-sync
it Does work on a real Toastrack, the other version was tested on real hardware.
now i have to pudding it, probably?

With "bruce lee versus bald sumo versus guy with stick"
I think the machine couldn't make up its mind to make a bruce or a ninja with stick. I didn't say anything about ties lol

[MustardTiger]

Couple of easy ones. Box art rather than screen$

Tried to make something dark and scary for the first one but kept getting 'unsafe image detected'

[R-Tape]

Heh. Horace goes Skiing and Sweevo.

Getting Horace is surprisingly hard to do - even 'blue blob with eyes, one arm and legs' takes some disturbing avenues.

"giant furry head with large sunken eyes and small legs on skis on a snow hillside, horror style" was the prompt and the other three pics produced weren't great.

"a ominous hungry bird named SQIJ is diving on the viewer, BUT it's also the worst videogame ever and the bird is more like a paralyzed duck"

To be fair, I didn't expect it to write the caption. I didn't notice it until I downloaded the image.

[Spud]

I also went with some Horace:

Spoiler

Fat man with pony tail and big eyes, carrying skis, crossing busy road trying to get to the ski slope. "No money, no ski" says the ski-booth.

and this, clearly not Horace

Spoiler

fat red coloured spaceman with a blue visor sits in an open top white space ship with no doors, flying to the left. The spaceship resembles a Sinclair C5 without the wheels. Starry backdrop behind
