The Return of Miss Prissy

"Prissy."

Is what I'm feeling some of the "free" AI generation tools are becoming. 

I was going to talk about this in the afterword of "Many Worlds #1 - The New Breed", but I figured I should vent in a separate entry.No use ruining a good story, right?

When I first started using AI images, some of the image quality was less than I anticipated. Some examples were multiple limbs or extra fingers, eyes looking in different directions, problems with perspective and strangely moving joints.

The quality has improved (in some tools), but that improvement has also added some additional guardrails that make the process of creating my somewhat "saucy" images more difficult.

Yes, I could probably shell out a monthly subscription for something that would have more latitude and less restrictions, but I don't want to. 

Same reason I don't keep banking apps on my cellphone - if you don't have the access in the first place, you can't exploit it.

ChatGPT appears to have the "prissiest" setup. Image requests used in other AIs have problems in ChatGPT. I have to literally cajole the beast into producing an image, saying "please" or "try harder" or "you just produced a nearly correct image. Fix this one item" 

In one case, I had mentioned a "thong brief". This obviously set the internal censors into a tizzy. I had to go back and forth and agree with it's suggestions - something along the lines of "a tastefully designed swimsuit" - what did I get? Exactly what I asked for in the first place!

Grok seems to be the most laid-back. I normally don't get "no go" messages, but the images still don't have the best quality all of the time.

Gemini seems to be the best middle ground. I get fairly good images, but sometimes I need to quit and go back later and try again. In one instance, I generated an image that was very good, but one of the characters had facial hair. Asking the AI to remove the facial hair did nothing after asking several times and in several ways, except to ADD facial hair to other characters, or remove the clothing from the upper body and adding a third arm.

Perchance is a newer product that can produce "saucy" images, but the "look" is reminiscent of some hyper-dynamic comic book vibe. I'm still experimenting with this one, but it definitely has potential.

I'd also welcome any suggestions as well!
