The wondeful thing about tiggers, is that tiggers are wonderful things.

Now I can see why AI makes such crazy images. It’s accurate!

No, that's just how cats work

This was generated using the prompt: cat, stretching image

The second images had two tails in one cat, but I think this one is funnier. Just throw in a random head somewhere, and skip the stretching part entirely. Makes me wonder what am I ever going to use this feature for.

Nothing out of the ordinary. The usual struggles of the AI totally screwing up.

Playground app. What a premium Apple experience that was... Then again, it's using a very small model that runs locally on my phone, but still.

It can usually handle a single term reasonably well. Although, once I asked for a banana and got a guava... Anyway, adding a second term is highly unlikely to work, as you saw with the cat, that definitely isn't stretching. Actually, none of the iterations included any kind of stretching pose, so apparently that just wasn't in the training data.
