I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.' New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set. I thought individual countries had been banned for possibly generating offensive content but it works for Great Britain.

Heh, being a kiwi I also tried New Zealand multiple times. I can’t think of anything offensive a model may default to for New Zealand.

I tried “Kiwi Bird” and the model produced very underwhelming pieces. Very dark and slightly fluffy.

I feel like we ought to cost things. How much does a court case cost? What is the environmental cost of AI generated content?

All this energy being burned to create shitty images, shitty music, and shitty videos that all amount to essentially shitty memes. I don’t understand how the singular focus isn’t on solving humanity’s problems. We already have artists, we don’t have a cure for cancer or the climate crisis.

Why aren't you working on curing cancer?

I played a set of Factorio vs Minecraft! Tried generating a few different sets, this was super cool, and on theme!

This is freakin awesome but do the creators even play chess? Playing chess from that viewing angle is unpleasant as hell. Imagine putting all your work into creating an amazing demo and then drowning it with one design decision. Edit: Ok I see that you can change the view in settings. They should make that option more visible.

I still don't see the settings. Can anyone help?

Pretty cool, and also pretty fucking bad. Checks all the AI boxes, I guess.

I tried "a classic set inspired by Armored Core". It gave me a typical-looking Armored Core (which would be good except it was supposed to be the king), a Space Marine (which I rerolled into some small mech that's close enough), a Zoid (which it refused to budge from), a tower (which it refused to budge from), and a chess queen with purple lights (which it refused to budge from, except to sometimes give me the gigantic head of an AC).

Not to mention, sometimes pieces look directly at the camera instead of forward, or don't even sit on the plane of the board. One of my pieces even had a mini-chessboard for its base.

Same here. What’s this about? Anyone who can see willing to share some more info?

Just generates the chess set based on GenAI

Oh yeah that's indeed too dangerous for my country, thanks Google!

This is really neat but of course ripe with copyright abuse. It was very happy generating some Super Mario Bros variants for me. xD
