AI brilliance for my YouTube story

Something laughably stupid happened only the other day while I was experimenting with AI (Meta/Llama). I asked it to draw me a cartoon of a monster rising out of the ground to swallow a Russian peasant. This was meant to go with the latest story I was planning to tell on my YouTube channel. I didn't like the first effort, so I asked it to modify the picture: show fertile land, not a desert; make the monster appear as if it is rising up from the land, make the peasant middle-aged, not old, and so on. Every effort was more ridiculous than the previous one. One actually gave the monster the face of an old man, presumably AI's idea of what a Russian peasant looks like - though why it thought that would fit the bill is beyond me. 

Anyway, I gave up trying after that, and decided to use the first one, despite not being happy with it. You can see the result here. While you are at it, don't forget to listen to the story right till the end: it's a good one, and very thought-provoking.
