You will drink no wine before its time.....it just occurred to me that it could be "its" or "it's", although it looks like it's "its". The bottom line is.....Orson Welles. ;)

Oh c’mon - that’s not ChatGPT - I counted your fingers and there are exactly 5 on each hand.

I’ve been playing with it too, for various things - political cartoons, a suggestion for crafting statements about a difficult relationship situation, projecting RMD’s and effective transfer schedules for minimizing tax consequences of regular to Roth IRA conversion (never fear, I have actual professionals handling that - I was just curious how “she” (i hear a nerdy woman in her early 30s in her “voice”) would answer and make recommendations without prompts). Just to stay current with the technology even as I transition to full retirement. And to grok its limitations.

So my question for you is - what was your initial prompt, and how many iterations did it take to get it the way you liked?

One take. I don’t remember precisely what the prompt was. Something like, “make a picture of me in renaissance style using the character review you generated for me.”

I have experience with this. I once fenced with someone while composing a poem and drinking a glass of wine to settle a bet. It cost him a bruise and a bottle.
