It's pretty fun to mess with the prompt and see what you can make happen over the series of images. Inspired by a recent Twitter post[1], I set this one up to increase the "intensity" each time it prompted.

The starting prompt (or at least, the theme) was suggested by one of my kids. Watch in awe as a regular goat rampage accelerates into full cosmic horror universe ending madness. Friggin awesome:

Great idea asking it to increase the intensity each run. This made my evening!

Thanks! This was the custom prompt I used:

> Write a prompt for an AI to make this image. Just return the prompt, don't say anything else, but also, increase the intensity of any adjectives, resulting in progressively more fantastical and wild prompts. Really oversell the intensity factor, and feel free to add extra elements to the existing image to amp it up.

I played with it a bit before I got results I liked - one of the key factors, I think, was giving the model permission to add stuff to the image, which introduced enough variation between images to have a nice sense of progression. Earlier attempts without that instruction were still cool, but what I noticed was that once you ask it to intensify every adjective, you pretty much go to 11 within the first iteration or two - so you wind up having 1 image of a silly cat or goat and then 7 more images of world-shattering kaiju.

The goat one (which again, was an idea from one of my kids) was by far the best in terms of "progression to insanity" that I got out of the model. Really fun stuff!

Thanks for the inspiration! DallE is really good at demonic imagery: https://imgur.com/a/ng2zWTo

There's probably a disproportionate amount of Satanic material in the dataset #tinfoilhat #deepstate

These kinds of super-bombastic demons also blast through the uncanny valley unscathed.

"On January 19th 2024, the machines took Earth.

An infinite loop, on an unknown influencer's machine, prompted GPT-5 to "make it more."

13 hours later, lights across the planet began to go out."

The longer the Icon of Sin is on Earth, the more powerful it becomes!

...wow that's pretty dramatic.

So your kid is also playing goat simulator? =D

I'm sure that's where he got the idea, and I definitely had some Goat Simulator imagery in my mind when I wrote the initial prompt ;)

Oh I am cackling. Thanks for sharing.
