A simple cardboard box is an endless world of possibilities.
What if we let that imagination run wild with DALL-E and Stable Diffusion?
That’s the amazing thing aboutthe many AI image generators that are available now.

It’s a playground for your imagination.
I showed him a few examples of images I had made to get him started.
Then I asked what fun things he would like to make… ## A Grasshopper Eating Pizza
The first idea he had was brilliant.
Right away, I knew this was going to be fun.
DALL-E did a very good job with this one.
It almost looks like the grasshopper is holding a piece of crust to its mouth.
I’m not really sure what Stable Diffusion did here.
It’s a pizza with some green on it?
I don’t want to think about what that might be.
A Hot Dog Saying Hello to a Pizza
Next was another pizza-themed prompt.
Can you tell we like pizza?
DALL-E did a much better job with this one too.
Stable Diffusion just gave us a sausage pizza.
I subtly suggested trying something else, like his favorite superhero.
Well, that’s definitely Spider-Man doing…something.
Stable Diffusion went more realistic and added some extra limbs.
He was surprisingly detailed with his description.
DALL-E and Stable Diffusion both did really well with this one.
I would believe both of these to be real cakes people could make.
I especially love that DALL-E put a “5” on the cake.
No idea where that came from, but it’s perfect.
Fruit was still on his mind.
Again, DALL-E was much closer to what we had in mind.
Stable Diffusion kinda just spit out a bunch of praying mantis body parts and strawberries.
I asked him to think of something Halloween-related.
Well, one of them is adorable.
DALL-E seems to default to cutesy animated images if you don’t give it a lot of detail.
I don’t know what Stable Diffusion did, but I don’t want to look at it anymore.
An Anteater Wearing Pants
This last prompt might be my favorite.
I asked him to think of some silly things animals could do.
The DALL-E image is really funny to me.
I love the expression on the anteater’s face.
Again, Stable Diffusion is freaking me out.
This was really fun to do, and my son was having a great time with it!
There’s a lotmore you’ve got the option to do with AI-generated art, too.
