Testing the boundaries of cultural knowhow in the model

I’ve been following Jaclyn’s content for a while now, getting timely glimpses into the latest and greatest from Google AI with a deep product perspective. I was delighted to see this playbook come up in my emails today:

My Weekend Project, Your New Playbook

Jaclyn took an image subject and applied a variety of style prompts which demonstrates how readily and easily 🍌 was able to generate immediately distinguishable and recognizable art styles.

Oh my GOSH. This is too bonkers to not try even more styles, so here we have some of my faves after I went through a pretty dense list of silly and whimsical ideas that popped in my head.

Thematically, I went from “silly collectibles that people spend too much money on”….
