A user tested an AI image generator with a deliberately nonsensical prompt to see how unhinged the output would get. The prompt included bizarre instructions such as "thrimble stuffer gusts," "unanandium watchers," "tree 3," imaginary number frameworks, Mandelbrot sets, and requirements that all visual elements be composed of numbers. It also demanded fractal recursions and rotations by specific angles like 1.2241231 degrees. Following the prompt, the user then requested a second image composed entirely of repetitions of the first, with additional mathematical rules for rotation and multiplication. A third image was then requested, assigning values to the first two images and applying further repetition rules. The article does not describe the actual outputs or the capabilities of the model.
- Prompt contained over 500 words of gibberish including 'thrimble stuffer gusts' and 'unanandium watchers'
- Model enforced detailed mathematical rules: numbers composed of numbers, Mandelbrot sets for odd integers, rotations of 1.2241231 degrees for letter F
- Second prompt required recursive fractals with branches for every number three, resulting in multiple coherent images
