This is so cool! What initial prompts did you use to set up the room?
I didn’t spend much time setting up the room. I was primarily trying to combine
cat
andgrep
to demonstrate the ‘useless use of cat’ initially.images visualizing the 'grep' command in the context of vast libraries, devoid of natural elements. These visuals emphasize the idea of searching through expansive knowledge.
emphasizing the cat's active role in releasing knowledge from the book. Each image captures the essence of the 'cat' command in an elegant setting.
This didn’t turn out well, so I considered different commands. Then I remembered the fork bomb. DALL-E 3 provided images of servers exploding, and I responded with ‘no tech’. The subsequent images showed an exploding pond, and I commented: It doesn’t have to be in nature, I just thought computers were way too obvious to include. Avoid advanced technology.
It responded with “Understood. Let’s try a different approach, avoiding advanced technology but not necessarily sticking to nature. I’ll focus on capturing the overwhelming and rapidly multiplying essence of the fork bomb in a unique setting.”
Then it gave me that blue potion with the bubbles and some kind of clock.
