This started on the guitar man thread and I thought it deserved its own thread. Every odyssey Everybody (stupid autocorrect) needs to generate an AI image of their username and share.
The best I got for mine is this:
What yall got peeps?

hokietopher, yours seems very do-able from a costume perspective. Would love to see a player run on to the field dressed like that! (But more Hokie bird-like, of course)
"Needs more Hokie Bird" is the new catch phrase?
(based on "Needs more cow bell.")
Something, something, ACC under a magnifying glass seems so fitting
I may tinker. I am kind of curious if there's a way to either get me or the hokie bird to be stirring a cauldron. Then I can add the ingredients (i.e.: our opponents) on a week to week basis.
I am, however, pleased that AI gave me a respectable bicep.
SoupHokie looks normal enough, but I'm worried about what the HokieBird has been snorting
should the soup be "turkey noodle"?

Can't figure out the upload process. Smh. Sorry.
Download image, Upload image to Imgur (anywhere else?), copy url, add image on comment and paste url. Get blue question mark box and can't delete this whole comment to act like it never happened.
I have issues with imgur not giving me the .png unless, so I select it in a browser and say to just open image in new tab then I get the link I need
VTnerf - 'hokie foam fury'....love it.
I remain very afraid of AI.
You're not helping aleviate my anxiety.
Better?
The preview on my laptop showed the image but I see it now as question mark. Not sure why the preview function showed the image but the post didn't.
EDIT: when i view my comment in TKP on my laptop, the image appears. When I view it from my iPhone the question mark appears.
What are you all using for AI image generation?
Preferably something browser-based, rather than app-based. And free.
I used Google's Gemini. Free and easy
Nope, that's out. Need to sign in, and Google is requiring me to use my phone for 2FA.
So....not free and easy. ;^)
Edit: I was able to access Gemini through genai.mil, but it doesn't do images. "How else may I support your mission?"
Sorry, I went back and realized that I was signed in to Google via my gmail account, so you are correct not free or easy.
I mean, google has all my emails and my phone OS. Im not sure what signing in to Gemini to create VT pictures is going to change they know we all went to VT, we'll those young enough to have a vt.edu account.
I used the free version of Chatgpt but its app version. Not sure if they have web version.
Janice I'm scared.
Here's my Pathtag image. Not VT related though. My opinions on AI are not favorable. I'll leave it at that.
Tomorrow is the big day!!!!

Finally! The clips I've seen have me belly laughing, especially the 6am game time discussion about the Dutchmen. But also the one where Shoresy comes home to all three of the boys hammering on it.
I watched the whole season in one sitting. Was great!
I did too. Started it at 12:01am. Finished at 2:30.
All I could think was that as comical as season 4 was, season 5 was heartwarming.
Finished earlier today. Awesome to see THE cameo in there. And agree...it was more wholesome, but still funny. The fridge twins were a nice addition.
This looks eerily similar to when Belushi played Mozart on SNL like 40 years ago.
Judging by his legs, he killed fiddy men with that go-kart.
Solid reference
I tried this after the guitar man image and the results were terrible. I'll try again later
Quite good! Thanks nerf!
The first one I tried showed the horse going the wrong direction on the treadmill. So I told it to turn the horse around and it turned the whole thing so you could only see the horses ass, still running the wrong way on the treadmill
That's a perfect summary of how it functions...
Even vtnerf's version looks like the horse is jumping across the treadmill rather than running on it.
The good ol' "Virgicia *gibberish* treadmill.
pronounced
"Vir-jeesha""Kevin"The serifs are making my eye twitch.
I got it to drop the c but then it added in another i. Ai just sucks sometime
That's quite good! I'm debating on whether I should make it more metal or just dumber
Round 2, based on my avatar:
Yeah that was horrible. It made me a female fan because of the nickname. lol
Who wants to guess what the prompt was that returned this result?
World of VTCraft?
It was guessed below....VT hokie fully dipped in dork magic.
A Virginia Tech themed kenku sorcerer
Sorry Lt. - that's not it.
Second thought was The Secret of Nimh
nope - its TKP inside joke related....
It all about the Dork Magic!
Bingo!
Glorious!
Gotta love the soldering iron "wand"!
Huh....
Hold please
Nice!
Sometimes, AI amazes me.....
Other times, you get.....this....
A weird cougar/bear with a couple of randos and some palm trees in the background.
I think the combo Nike and Under Armour logos are an especially nice touch...lol
Oof...clothing to left and right....words are hard
Now it took you to full Hokiebird
Much better
I do nothing with AI, so I might need basic instruction to generate something.
this is what i ended up with...

Those units are sick
"It was a catch!"
Took some time this morning.

First attempt:
Second Attempt:

So, VT-GT exhibition in Paris?
Its a wasp according to AI
Wasp or W.A.S.P.?
Just a wasp like the Emory and Henry mascot
I've got a great one but can't for the life of me figure out how to upload from ChatGPT.
You have to save it out of Chatgpt and then use Imgur or another photo upload tool
Did that and still getting that little symbol when I try to upload. I'll see if my oldest knows.
I get the same little question mark no matter what I use on my phone, Imgur, Flickr etc. frustrating...
I use Imgbb.com
Easy and free to upload then copy the HTML full link and paste in the picture thingy on here. No sign in, email or anything .
thats gonna haunt some dreams
I think he's pretty cute as long as you ignore that he has a right arm and a left wing lol.
I'm such an amateur. What's the best way to post my image? Imgur? Another platform?
I use Imgur Uploader app. Its simple and easy to copy the URL
Looks like this

Thanks. I'm working on it
Or just upload it to imgur, open in browser (safari), click and hold on image then select 'copy photo', then come to the key play and paste it
Thanks friends

[Mod edit: i gotchu fam]
what step am I missing?
Use this link instead https://i.imgur.com/BqeauIw.jpeg
Get the link by holding/right-clicking the image and choosing "Open link in new tab"
<.img src="https://i.imgur.com/BqeauIw.jpeg" />
Take the first "." out of the code above
Thanks Mod!
Hard for an old dog to learn new tricks.
Oops
"Hokie Bird with a crown at a banquet"
Oh I got a new one that is much better than earlier
Shouldn't it be a Scrooge McDuck style picture with all your turkey legs? I don't think this is all of them.
https://i.imgur.com/h7H0b2G.jpeg
All ya gotta do is click the image button and paste that link into the field in the popup. I got it for you:
Kind of reminds me of last season's O Line - stuck in the sand.
LMAO!
The foxridge logo has me rolling
Tried to make an important update. It did its best lol
Jumping in on the bandwagon
Success! Specifically opening in a new tab that has a .png in the browser address worked. Thanks for the explanation Chazz!!
Imgur sort of hides their file name by generating a url for the share link that is different than the url for the file link. Back in the day, the share link and file link had the same url address, but they changed that awhile ago.
The url to the file link can be revealed by clicking on the image and opening the image in a new tab.
Edit: McHokie beat me to it by 2 mins... But hopefully the explanation was useful.
Ok, I tried that as well, let me give it another go and see if I notice any differences.
I'm an old gal who doesn't do this AI type stuff often enough to take the time to figure out how. Anyone can feel free to do one for me (using the info from my AMA or 'THE SPREADSHEET' and username here )
LOVE IT!
qualified
Though to be accurate it would be Skippy CREAMY not crunchy peanut butter.
I'm not sure if "super creamy" across her chest makes the picture more or less obscene
LMAO
VERY qualified.
Crunchy is better. That's right, I said it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Even when it is objectively wrong.
Hey-as I've said many times, I don't proselytyze; if others choose something other than Skippy Creamy, that just leaves more for me. As it says in my fave line of Uptown Funk says-'smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy'!
wth.....
