we wanted a sweet illustration for our pregnancy announcement. my wife entered a prompt about our future family and asked for a beautiful pastel poster
the generator produced two babies instead of one. she laughed, tried again, and received triplets. by the third attempt the family portrait contained four children and a suspiciously realistic golden retriever
my mother saw the first draft and called to ask whether we'd forgotten to tell her something. i spent fifteen minutes explaining that image generation is not a prenatal diagnostic test
we used a photograph of the ultrasound with a simple caption. the ai-generated quadruplets remain in a folder labeled 'financial nightmares'
