the fax machine has always been a centaur

2026 LLM + image generation series: prompt telephone

There's a shark wearing a powdered wig. There are businessmen operating a giant abacus on a bologna checkerboard. At some point you stop asking why and start asking why not.

Process

This is part of an ongoing series where I ask an LLM a question and feed its answer directly into an image model, a game of telephone between language and vision.

For this piece I prompted Google Gemini 3.1 Pro. Its answer was then handed, unedited, to five different image generation models. What follows is how each one interpreted the same prompt.
