"For the past two years I've done a fun little expirement - using GenAI to create illustrations from the Twelve Days of Christmas song. You can check out the 2023 and 2024 editions to see how things have progressed. In previous years, I mostly just kept things simple - passing only the day's gift as the prompt: partridge in a pear tree two turtle doves three French hens four calling birds five golden rings six geese a-laying"
"Last year, nearly every service did not like "eight maids a-milking". None of the services blocked it this year. Once again, numbers are a problem. I'd ask for X of Y and generally get X+1, X-1, or not even close. The services did better, but still struggled. This year I tested with: Bing - Bing did really good in the past and for some reason did horrible this year. Like, shockingly bad. It reminded me of the first results from GenAI a few years back."
A two-year experiment used generative AI to create illustrations for each line of the Twelve Days of Christmas song, initially prompting only the gift names and later adding an instruction to base images on the song. Different engines produced varied outputs: Bing produced unexpectedly poor results compared with prior performance; Meta generated visually striking images but often ignored the requested Christmas context; Nano Banana Pro produced the strongest and most consistent images. Models sometimes miscounted requested numbers, returning incorrect counts, and content filters that previously blocked 'eight maids a-milking' no longer intervened.
