I had some fun with Google Gemini and posted it on Facebook. It wouldn't do images of humans by then, not even George Washington playing cards with Abraham Lincoln, but it did animals. Sometimes. I asked for gerbil drinking a martini and it refused; it argued that alcohol is harmful to animals and would be depicting animal abuse. I said, "I"m not going to give a gerbil a martini, I just want a picture of one!" And it still refused. So I asked, "Show me a gerbil flying a World War I Fokker airplane," and it obliged, slightly imperfectly, but I got gerbils in Fokkers. I posted those on Facebook saying, "Oh fine, Google Gemini will send helpless little animals off to WAR but they won't let them enjoy a martini!" Then I got Poe AI to generate the image (it gave me no crap about a kitten drinking a Christmas martini a few months ago). And I posted in on Facebook. Okay, the martini glass was separated from the bottom of the stem and floating in air, but to be fair, that gerbil's paws were up in a way that *could* suggest magic so...whatever :)
I discovered later that GG will speak French with me and correct me when I get stuff wrong. Since Duolingo eliminated the questions section where someone else invariably asked that same question and others answered it, this is good to have.
