Booking Bands

Today’s TDC asks us to mash up a book and a band. After some deliberation I settled on “of mice and men at work” (from Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” and the band “Men at Work”.  I then headed over to Night Cafe and asked:

An image for a book cover called ‘of mice and men at work’. It should have features of the ‘men at work’ album covers

The image it generated was great, but of course the caption was misspelt. After two attempts at asking it to spell correctly I asked it to remove the caption. I then opened up PPT and edited it myself.

Then I remembered the Penguin Classics Cover Generator so I made a version using that.

As I was doing all of this I also fed my prompt into Your AI Slop Bores Me and asked for a ‘human AI’ version, which I then added a caption to.

Poem Portrait

For todays TDC I headed over to Google’s Poem Portraits, as the prompt suggested, and gave it the word breakfast. I let it take my photo while it generated this poem.

Our breakfast stems were drowned with the stars,
My fancy wastes the sun. The fire is formed.

Text Weave

For today’s TDC, as it is Good Friday, I chose a passage from Nietzsche:

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”  Nietzsche Die Fröhliche Wissenschaft, 125
