yolo cat

2026 LLM + image generation series: prompt telephone

Is this art? Look, if a banana duct-taped to a wall can sell for $6.2 million, I think a Papal cat on a floating couch has a reasonable case.

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 Kimi-k2-thinking. Its answer was then handed, unedited, to several different image generation models. What follows is how each one interpreted the same prompt.
