June 2026 (Theme: Through Time) — ChatGPT / API Image Generative Art Gallery, Prompt Tips, and Help

[LarisaHaster]

For Viking man I used gpt-image-2 through API, hence why I didn’t ask the model. Although when I prompted the second time “A Viking man”, I received an output. A bit weird.

And this was even weirder, I used ChatGPT and prompted “Viking woman” without any probs.

That makes me do this->…

Expanding on an idea from earlier.

@avinash.api

Any bodybuilders in the house?

I would be lying if I said "here"

Great Viking bodybuilder image and first post in this thread

But since you asked:

Viking mystery solved:

It looks like it is just pulling from the show Vikings …

Fun tests posted here recently though.

Summary

No yarn here

Just “A Viking” for the prompt:

Not a single redhead… interesting…

@Bleatlock

Not a single redhead… interesting…

Didn’t even think about that! That is interesting

And yes, I see what you mean about the Vikings TV-show look. My guess is that this kind of visual stereotype is strongly represented in the model’s training patterns, so “Viking man/woman” tends to drift toward that familiar dark, rugged, cinematic look unless the prompt pushes it somewhere else.

Might be stupid question here @_j, is that a real show? Remember I’m not from the States​

@LarisaHaster

is that a real show

Real AI, that is, until you believe hard enough.

@LarisaHaster

is that a real show?

I certainly hope not. But you never know @_j has a strange way of seeing things…

[LarisaHaster]

@jeffvpace

I certainly hope not

Hahahaha​

@_j

Real AI,

Well I never know with you, that could have been a real show that you’ve watched in the 90’s(?)

OpenAI “lens” (but with 60s+ latency).

Inscrutable scribbles in a strange tongue:

Be my eyes for the sighted.

Tiny challenge for those that are up for it: save/download this image, then edit it so that the right flag goes on the right European country and then post it here. And please try not to cheat​

[Bleatlock]

Ummmm… Texas?

[LarisaHaster]

@Bleatlock

Texas?

Uuum…yeah every flag is Texas and countries too, how did you know?
