If you have not played with Artificial Intelligence image creators it is fun and worth the time. Allow me to dabble in my occasional series where I do just that on your behalf. First I select a day, like today, which has multiple “National Day” declarations that I do not care or know enough about to create a blog post. Today is both National Arabian Horse Day and National Chocolate Mint Day which are not even remotely related or fit together.

I then go to my favorite (read here free) Image Creator – Gemini from Google. I would assume this would also work well in ChatGTP or DeepSeek or whatever else you have. Gemini got in trouble with images using people and so limits what it will create for you, but has no problem creating animals. So I asked it to create an image with a horse eating mint chocolate chip ice cream and got the following…

Very nice, photorealistic and exactly as requested. Very nice. But I often try to whimsical in these mash-up images so I asked it to do the same but in the style of a cartoon and got this…

Just as requested but a little weird. What is with the disembodied hand? I wanted to anthropomorphize the image so I asked for the same but with the horse actually holding the ice cream cone and got this…

Whoa! What is this? Why would it sprout and extra arm? And why just one arm, why not two like any normally freakishly developed future horse creature? It can’t even applaud its own efforts, only stomp its hooves in approval. That was enough for me for one day. But do play around with weird images using just text phrases. You never know what you will come up with!
