James ThomsonIf you want to confuse an AI image generator, ask it to draw Doctor Who.
Romain Pouclet@jamesthomson who hurt you James
@Palleas Russell T Davis and Steven Moffat.
Brennan Stehling@jamesthomson It looks cool. Just realizing that a Dalek would be great as a mini fridge for beverages or a cocktail cabinet. Perhaps 2 and do both, then use them together. Here's a list of cocktails from ChatGPT. 🍹
* TARDIS Twist
* Dalek Daiquiri
* Cyberman Cooler
* Time Lord Tea
* Gallifreyan Goblet
* Sonic Screwdriver
* River's Mystery Martini
* Weeping Angel's Elixir
* Rose's Radiance
* Captain Jack's Julep
St. Chris@jamesthomson If it’s hexagonal and round on the outside, it has to be completely rectangular on the inside.
Jamie Montgomerie@jamesthomson I now expect to see The Daloctor as the big bad in the next season.
@th_in_gs I wouldn't rule it out!
marlies 
@jamesthomson i mean, that’s kinda cool
StarkRG@jamesthomson WHOSHINATE!
Alan Bell@jamesthomson oh that could definitely be the inspiration for a Christmas special episode. AI does incredibly creative things by chance and ignorance - makes me wonder if all creativity is chance and ignorance!
@AlanBell I think there's more to it, but a stopped clock and all that :)
Joshua Barretto@jamesthomson I'm fascinated at the contrast between the sheer visual quality of this image and the fact that it's so obviously incorrect in such a fundamental way. Really quite entertaining.
@jsbarretto Yeah, it's fascinating!
Red@jamesthomson
Early police boxes (Glasgow) were hexagonal with a fancy but on top. though they were also red, rather than blue.

@redthewizard I knew about the red, didn't know about the hexagonal - I'm in Glasgow myself!
Gerard Cunningham ✒️@faduda Agreed!
apm77@jamesthomson At least the TARDalek is OK. It says so right there. Unless "ⱣCC" means "not".
Michael Wyman@jamesthomson the guy looks like Matthew Goode, and I’d be totally down for him being cast as a Doctor.
Ged Maheux@jamesthomson A mad man(?) with a hexagonal box. :-/
Digichelle@jamesthomson It’s hilarious how the AI can generate some rather attractive Doctors, but can’t get the TARDIS right. 🙃
@digichelle This is the best TARDIS it did, which I think is secretly a Dalek.
@jamesthomson Me, looking at this grotesque, Dalek-esque TARDIS: Exterminate, exterminate, EXTERMINATE! 😱
Jayenkai [ J-N-K ]@jamesthomson "A cinematic frame from the Doctor who 60th specials" Drawn by A.I. ( #Clipdrop / #SDXL )
@jamesthomson try something like.. "The doctor and the tardis, award-winning cinematic movie poster art, colourful, saturated, vibrant, clockwork"
Thomas Barrett 👨💻@jamesthomson the thing that gets me with these images is the hair. I noticed that the hair is all parted on the same side.
@trbarrettjr It's such a weird technology. I would much rather pay artists, but it's interesting to see what biases are in the inputs.
Ryan Randall@jamesthomson @trbarrettjr Based just one these, it's also notably convinced as to what the Doctor wears.
I'd have expected at least one rather long scarf?
@ryanrandall @jamesthomson So I had to google “Dr. Who” to get a current image of the character. (Sorry not a regular connoisseur of Dr. Who) And it does seem to be from an era, Brown Suit and neck tie on all four specimens.
@ryanrandall @trbarrettjr Yeah, it's oddly specific on clothing!
Shantini@jamesthomson not gonna lie he looks great
@shantini I mean, he does have a little bit of everything from Tennant/Smith/Capaldi, so by definition, yes.
John Siracusa@jamesthomson I think that first one is Craig Federighi.
(((Jann Gobble)))🏳️🌈@siracusa @jamesthomson The hair is, anyway! 😂
@siracusa He plays guitar like Capaldi, it could work!
Marina Epelman@jamesthomson @siracusa there is a penchant for notable more-salt-than-pepper hairdos, too
Rodney Simba 🇿🇼 🇺🇸 :verified:@siracusa @jamesthomson he’d make a fabulous Dr!
Bill Lloyd@jamesthomson Well they all have a buttocks on their chin, so that's a through-line at least.
Sam Gross@jamesthomson ah yes, the seventeenth, eighteenth, and twenty-first doctors.
@SamTheGeek Shame they just went back to the same old white men, but yeah!
@jamesthomson eh, what did you expect from the ChatBBC
Sean@jamesthomson that third guy has turned me gay 😍😍
Old account@jamesthomson He is quite handsome! And is the TARDIS a heaxagon??
@linnefaulk Apparently the doctor has been playing a lot of tabletop games!
Dr. Juande Santander-Vela@jamesthomson is you want to confuse it even more, try with Doctor Whom, Dr Whoever, or Dr Whomever…
Alex Rosenberg@jamesthomson Can't wait to see what it makes of Ncuti Gatwa.
@alexr Given how poorly represented Jodie Whittaker is, I’m guessing not much…
Florian Taltavull@jamesthomson 😂 nicely done 👏
It’s like letting Google search “Google” 🤣

CaveDave@jamesthomson this looks like a parody of Doctor Who but with a high studio budget. Higher than the actual show in fact
Andrew "Harris/? 2024" Glisson
RG@jamesthomson Do James Bond next!
elizabeth veldon@jamesthomson ok, but i want that second doctor to be real.
Arcticulate@jamesthomson Never thought about that, but here are two alternatives: ”My name is Bond … James Connery Moore Brosnan Dalton Lazenby!”. Option two: ”I’m Batman … Adam West Bale Pattinson Keaton Clooney Kilmer!” (Non-extensive inclusion of actors’ names). The Batman option didn’t come out quite right, though!
Simon Wood@jamesthomson @LoneLocust I hate to admit it, but I rather like that hexagonal TARDIS…
@simonwood @LoneLocust Honestly, me too…
Jasper Bakker UCX
Rachel Greenham@jamesthomson @cstross it's not hexagonal. the chameleon circuit's just got confused about how perspective works in a normal spacetime context
