Final prompt In the Bingilator: "Sailor moon drawn in a an etch-a-sketch the drawing is done with only one continuous line. one line that does not stop. Bing, THE LINE MUST NOT STOP OR LIFT OFF AS THAT IS HOW AN ETCH-A-SKETCH WORKS!" So many tries, so many.

Bonus not in the running (I think the bingilator was making fun of me a bit):

Couldn't get it to not do shading. Dall-e

Prompt:A simple black and white line drawing of 'Kilroy was here', featuring the iconic long-nosed, bald-headed character peeking over a wall with just the fingers of his hands visible over the edge. The drawing should capture the essence of this World War II graffiti symbol in a minimalist style, focusing on clean lines and clear depiction of the character's peeking gesture. The background should be plain to keep the attention on Kilroy.

My actual prompt: Make me a Kilroy was here black and white line drawing. Keep it simple

Ninja bunny.

Made with chat gpt 4.

Process: ask gpt 4 if it understands the kiss concept with reference to the Wikipedia page. After getting sure that gpt 4 is on the same page, ask gpt for pictures under the defined principle. I was not able to write "KISS" principle in the prompt as KISS seems to be censored.

💋 KISS 💋

Prompt: minimalist style of pouty puckered lips

Single line Kiss

Prompt: draw a picture of a kissing lips symbol in the style of Picasso's single line drawings. it should illustrate the KISS design principles (KISS = "Keep it simple, stupid"). the picture should follow the kiss principles itself and therefore should be very simple and straightforward.

DALL-E: simple, peaceful, zen, quiet, water, wave

Went back and forth with Bing experimenting with different styles and landed with something I liked.

A pop art image done with lines only, depicting a serene moonlit night with auroras and permeating lines, with more surreal and minimalist style, more evocative than literal details

Not as simplistic as I wanted. I tried loads of prompts and my instructions for simplistic, crude drawings, even stick figure drawings were all ignored. Here we go anyway.

Here's the prompt that generated this particular image.

A charcoal cartoonish drawing of a tree holding a brush and a color palette in a forest. Next to the tree, there is an easel and a canvas with a portrait of Bob Ross.
