I've had this idea for years but never had a way to being it to life until fellow board member Rodent gave me a great recommendation for AI. I can now fulfill my destiny as a major league internet pest.

Here's what it did with my idea:

Possible Halloween costume idea for the right person.

AI oddity:  The program I'm using created my Oprah-based concept with no objections but refused to create an image of Bob McGrath (Sesame Street) because he's "a public figure".  Bob was pretty much only known for being on Sesame Street, and has been dead for three years. 

As far as "public figures" go, there aren't many bigger (literally and figuratively) than Oprah.

Thought that phrase might be Latin, but it’s not.  Kinda surprised me.  From the little I’ve seen (road signs, town names etc) I’ll just say I’m glad model instructors aren’t written in that.

😁

Not too far off , really - Cymræg is based heavily in Old Latin (like many other languages... including German).

I cannot imagine modelling instructions written in Cymræg ! Haha.

Would I be considered a horrible person if I said Welsh looks like someone tried to transcribe Helen Keller speaking?

My daughter works as a counsellor for a summer camp. Every fall, they do a haunted house experience in the woods on the grounds of the camp. It takes about 20 minutes to wander the trails and experience the various scare stations. 

Anyway, this year, I was voluntold that I'd be one of the scarers. 

So I donned my blackest outfits, put on the supplied mask, and lurked in the woods.

Apparently, got a lot of comments that I was the creepiest character. Probably the only time that's a good thing at a camp for kids.

 

I felt like I was in some Norwegian Black Metal band. Without the murders. Or the church burnings.

Instead of asking for Bob McGrath, try uploading a photo of him and ask AI for what you want. It will probably work if it doesn't know who the photo is of.

In the early 1990s I was a member of the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, ME.  At Halloween we ran the Terror Trolley.  I posted pics of one I partially decorated in 1990.  I did the eyes and mouth. (The eye cutouts are affixed over marker lights that had red lenses).  One year I helped with a vignette along the right of way.  I wore a hooded coat and splashed a little lighter fluid on a fire as the trolley went past.
