Yes, of course, they're always much better Wink

That's what I'm thinking too. It may be that there are specific "writing" procedures built into image generators now, seeing how text was initially a major obstacle.
So I think that maybe when it recognizes something as "writing", it tries to maintain the characters, while still being able to change their appearance.
It's doing the same with Gemini[Zodiac]. Gemini[Google] adds a gold frame and conserves the Voynichese text surprisingly well. Since my prompt included the word "lovers", it also changed the splotch to a heart and the month name to "amor".

Neither model knows what to do with the crossed arms (ChatGPT adds an extra hand out of desperation) and they both circumvent the man's proportion problems.

Edit to add: I took a wider ring this time to include all parts of the glyphs, and used clone stamp to quickly remove some lines of nymphs' legs.
I wonder if this text ability could be used somehow for OCR-related applications.
I forgot I can actually look at the "thinking". The text around the bull is explicitly mentioned in one of the steps:

Quote:Exploring Composition Elements

I'm now contemplating how to compose the scene. My plan is to arrange the bull and basket within a circular panel, integrating the script into an ornate gold border. I am planning on placing them in a pastoral landscape with a soft, cloudy sky. I will focus on soft, golden light and deep shadows to showcase the impasto and aged canvas.
I would say, the illustrations, all three, seem to capture that initial, clumsy moment of not knowing quite to do, reflective of young love, quite well. Notice how Gemini turns that little blob at the top into a heart-shape?

Nice work!

PS: Yeah, if you could just get that bull to lift his leg. Nice lyre-shaped horns.
I tried some more things and ended up with this, an effect I quite like. That's the end of my free credits.

Maybe it "thought" of baroque emblems, like this one by George Wither.
I think both the dog/wolf and that style of star could fit in an emblem, together with the circular text.

The golden snitch being caught by team Gryffindor, a classic scene.
