Just realised promptupyour.life – the tiny prompt generator

and I built – could generate inputs for DALL-E & co. But turns out they can't do abstract representation of concepts yet. So "{noun} to illustrate {concept}" doesn't work. Perhaps a future benchmark?

The generator is very simple: Draw {noun} to illustrate {concept} in the style of {art movement} Simple, but requires finding symbols and imagery associated with the abstract concept, then artfully blend it with the noun. Great editorial illustration does this well.

As plenty of others have pointed, you still need a human art director in collaboration with DALLE & co. to ask for very literal descriptions of things. Until we teach it metaphors and symbolic representation...

😄 2/3. It's great with nouns and art styles. Just missing the fun creative thinking part of using those as metaphorical tools for OCD
