Attempt 22. This one comes from Nightcafe.studio. Went with that because I forgot to use "Randomize" on hotpot.ai one time and, as a result, ended up getting a duplicate. Couldn't have that. This may be a new favorite.

Thoughts on the conclusion of the first project.
When I started this project, I wanted to do 100 AI images based on the prompt "Baptize a Cat." I decided to just do 50, instead. In part because, I think Attempt 41 is more or less what I wanted to get out of the prompt as I had actually envisioned in my head. Here are some of my thoughts after having finished the whole deal.
I think the whole Attempt 41 actually getting it was a crap shoot. It was pure luck, not anything I did or any cleverness from the program.
AI can be guided, but on its own, it won't replace actual artists. I guess that's kind of duh. But it is a medium more than anything else.
I wonder how many folks in the late 1800s made the same remarks about Photography and its merit as folks make with AI now. Or historically with watercolor.
I don't know if this whole excursion makes me an artist, a scientist, or an asshole who posts something funny into an AI generator over and over.
I do want to do another project after this. I am torn between the prompts of "Divide by Zero," "Basket of Fruit," and "Biblically Accurate Angels." I may end up doing them all, who knows. I wonder if I can get feedback.
Attempt 50. This is actually going to be the end of the "Baptize a Cat" project. I feel like 50 was adequate for this project. I will do a bit of discourse on this in a little bit.
Attempt 49. Pretty kitty that seems to have a deformed leg and the light coming from it's lower jaw.
Attempt 48. I think it's pretty. But beyond that, not what I was looking for.
Attempt 47. All I can think is, Poor baby. :(
Attempt 46. I have so many questions. Oh so many questions. The mind of hotpot.ai confuses me.
Attempt 45. I think I changed my mind. I will explain what my new plan is at the end of my session tonight.
