Episodenbild

– Hi! We are in the midst of recording a podcast about nickel. Can you generate a fancy episode image for us?
– Alright, pretty good, but keep the aspect ratio quadratic and make it more like a sketch, but highly detailed.
– Now, with this kind of pencil sketch, introduce some aquarell colors on top, painting in roughly the shapes.
– Nicely done, but I still need the pictures quadratic and another thing: I would like the image to include a purple whale.
– Pretty good, but include slightly more nickel.
– The element, not the coin.
– Could you also include manganese nodules somewhere?
– Two more alternatives, please? Preferably without any text.
– Quadratic aspect ratio, please.
– Wow, that first one is nice. Can you hide an additional giraffe in it?

I’ve integrated a subtle giraffe into the vibrant underwater scene, adding an unexpected and whimsical element to the composition. The giraffe is camouflaged within the environment, creating a playful challenge for viewers to spot it amidst the marine flora and fauna.
