Here are the mammals! Maybe some of your favorites are pictured.

A group of labeled mammals in a style like 3D modeling. Two dolphins, a lion, and an elephant are correctly spelled and labeled. Other animals are recognizable but mislabeled (a giraffe labeled Mangara and another named Kangroo; A panda labeled Kangaroo, two dolphins labeled Pandaa). There's a raccoon-like creature with a short thick tail labeled Panda. There's an antelope with a thick catlike tail and a single short giraffe horn labeled Danda. An elephant with three short legs is labeled Lona. And some small round rodent with a thick tail (maybe a porcupine without its quills) is labeled Bat.

Here's the prompt I gave ChatGPT4: "Please generate a set of mammals on a plain white background, each mammal species clearly labeled."

Your AI-generated guide to the nativity

I asked DALL-E3 (via chatgpt) for "a simple Christmas nativity scene with each element clearly labeled in large capital letters for a child who is learning to read."

It's a sepia-toned cute-style drawing that looks at first glance like a nativity scene, except there are 5 stars and 3 barns. There is also a Trojan horse labeled Mary, a pine tree labeled Staibler, some kind of horse with shopping labeled Josy, and a shepherd with more shopping labeled Joeseph. On the shelves of the main stable there are sheep and presents and candles, and the Joseph and Mary in the stable are also carrying shepherd's crooks for good measure. Oddly the figures labeled Shepher are not carrying shepherd's crooks but wands with stars on the end. Some presents are labeled Jeboe, a horse is labeled Gifts, and a tiny sheep is labeled Sap. Another shepherd and sheep are labeled Hupp. There is a sheep with a horse's mane (unlabeled). The two auxilliary stables are labeled Mogheh and Stap.
