Your illustrated guide to Christmas carols
Between the two of them, ChatGPT4 can generate the lyrics to Christmas carols, and DALL-E3 can illustrate them!
Throw your old carol books away because this is the only guide you'll need.
12 Days of Christmas
![Illustrations in the style of old-timey Christmas cards. Garbled versions of the 12 days of christmas verses accompany the images (Ewe Calling Rings, Two Tresle Doves, 12 Druders Damming, 3 Lods A-Swimming, 14 Event Gold Rings). The illustrations are mostly of unidentifiable birds, most a cross between a dove and a chicken, although there is a cool chicken-budgie in a nightcap and a double-tailed goose. Two of the birds are wearing santa hats which is adorable. There are some Victorian-style people and horses, but it's unclear which verses they are supposed to be. One box is just wall to wall presents.](https://www.aiweirdness.com/content/images/2023/12/DALL-E-2023-12-01-14.02.11---An-educational-illustration-in-a-grid-format-depicting-the-gifts-from-the-classic-Christmas-carol--The-Twelve-Days-of-Christmas-.-Each-grid-cell-conta.png)

AI Weirdness advent calendar 2023
It's 2023 and the combo of GPT-4/DALL-E3 can generate passable versions of the saccharine Christmas drawings in an advent calendar. They cannot, however, label them correctly. Also sometimes you get sweatermugs. This means the 2023 AI-generated advent calendar is happening!

Your guide to the Thanksgiving table
So lately I've been getting a kick out of asking DALL-E3 for images labeled with text. They're just good enough to be legible, but yet:
![A top down view of many recognizable traditional Thanksgiving foods (mashed potatoes labeled grasted potinos, mashed potatoes labeled granbery sauce, mashed potatoes swimming in gravy (labeled mashed turktees), a bowl of tomato soup (labeled cranbery sause), a roasted turkey (no label), a bowl of plain cranberries (labeled greenrry pans), a slice of pumpkin pie (labeled pumpkin pie)](https://www.aiweirdness.com/content/images/2023/11/DALL-E-2023-10-29-16.06.33---Photo-of-a-simple-Thanksgiving-table-with-a-plain-white-tablecloth.-In-the-center--there-s-a-roasted-turkey-with-a-label-reading--Roasted-Turkey-.-Sur-1.png)
The food that gets duplicated seems to vary from spread to spread.
![An elaborate Thanksgiving spread on a farm style table with artfully scattered pumpkins (including a couple in mugs for some reason) and lots of silverware. The food is uniformly mislabeled/misspelled. Some highlights: A plate of green beans labeled Maaed Potatogs. A pumpkin pie labeled Braebriny Casserle. A crock of stuffling labeled Crabtes. A big round slice of smoked gouda or something labeled Pumplin Rols. A bowl of tiny rolls labeled Mus. A bowl of larger rolls labeled Wee. The turkey is labeled Sniffs.](https://www.aiweirdness.com/content/images/2023/11/DALL-E-2023-11-20-12.36.06---Photo-of-a-comprehensive-Thanksgiving-table-spread--set-on-a-rustic-wooden-table.-The-centerpiece-is-a-large-roasted-turkey--with-a-simple-all-capital-1.png)
