Meanwhile, thought I'd ask the question, I was curious if these AI Image generators actually target the audience making the request.
Chat GPT says no. What it means to say is "Not Yet".
So, presumably somewhere out there there's somebody that really likes: Puppies, Korean Flight Crews, Muddy Fields, Dirty Knees, Jesus, More Puppies, and Planes. Not necessarily in that order.

None of it good, but some of it entertaining. I'm just screenshotting it as it comes up, there are too many similar feeds on my Facebook.

Now, the "Account" I pulled this one from was "Colorado Geology", so - naturally of interest to me.
But, unfortunately, that crystal beach doesn't exist, never did, and if it did it sure in the hell wouldn't be in Colorado with that Ocean right behind it...

Anything to avoid Lowry...

...and Malcolm Lowry sits half-read on a shelf. I appreciate him, but, for the moment, not to my taste.
SO - Ann Radcliffe - I'm pretty sure I've read "The Castle of Udolpho", this didn't disappoint.
A Gothic Romance, with the usual variety of Star-crossed lovers, Ruined Castles, Estates, Monasteries, Convents and Dungeons (albeit poorly used...), caves, the rumor of ghosts, kindly governesses, evil fathers and stepmothers, Bandetti, convenient coincidences, mistaken identities, and the wrath of God plays out in the passions of the players.
If she didn't invent the genre she certainly perfected it, the quality of prose is fine, only the events - the story, is just that, a diversion to entertain, and at no point does the reader believe it. But that's a matter of taste...
