This image was generated by AI.

The B Square’s experiments with AI (artificial intelligence) fake photo generation suggest that reasonably serviceable images for a specific set of purposes can eventually be obtained, though perhaps not on the first try.

Today’s seasonal greeting comes from [Microsoft’s Bing Image Creator (powered by DALL·E 3)](https://www.bing.com/images/create) in response to a prompt that went like this: “Wide shot close up of Santa Claus sitting under a Christmas tree reading a newspaper. The headline reads ‘Merry Christmas, Bloomington!’ There is a golden retriever puppy and a kitten sitting on Santa’s lap. The kitten has a crazy look and is swatting the puppy on the nose.”

I think it works OK as a Christmas card to the community.

Here’s one caveat for use of AI-generated images: AI image generators don’t spell so great. The choice of the image presented today, from dozens The B Square asked the robot to create, was based in large part on the fact that the headline was among the closest to being spelled right.

Anyhow, Merry Christmas!
