So I think to get the ghost mascot, I think it took maybe like 10 to 15 different prompts.

And I think I had to tell it things like, can you make it less cartoonish?

Can you make it more cartoonish?

Can you remove these elements?

So we'll see what this comes up with.

I've never actually tried 5.1.

This is, I think, new as of this week.

So I'm kind of curious how good it is.

It might surprise people, but I've found also that for coming up with novel mascots, ChatGPT is actually better than Gemini, better than NanoBanana from Google.

I think NanoBanana is very good if you want to make iterations, so when you have the base mascot, but I am still finding myself making actual mascots, like the first version, in ChatGPT.

Okay, let's see what it does here, and then let's see what it copies.

Also another pro tip when you're using ChatGPT for image generation, the more you ask of it, the harder or the worse it usually gets.

So it starts deviating and then you start getting that kind of ChatGPT style that you see in a lot of ChatGPT images.

If you ask it to just do one thing really well, it's way better at following instructions.

so okay let's see it did come up with a banana um i think it did kind of it did keep some of the shadowing that's here for sure it kept the tongue it actually kept also really the same style as the eyes even the lines yeah are pretty similar so i think it did a good job of keeping the style because that this is what we gave it so it's like it does seem like it's kind of similar um

We could keep riffing off of it.

There's so many things you can keep riffing off of it.

I think what I would do, again, my advice is

if you can use original art somehow, or a combination.

Actually, let's just see what happens here.
