So we asked Grok AI, Gemini and Chat GPT AI to help us.
Create a poster for our Golden Jubilee Rod Stewart Concert event we asked
We wondered , what are the best AI tools for graphic design? We didn’t plan it that way, we started with Grok and it just spiralled from there. “Just merge these 2 pictures” we asked, You’d think it’d be easy for a super artificial omnipitant intelligence , “designed to be maximally truth-seeking , aiming to understand the universe and give the most accurate, useful answers possible, without sugarcoating or tiptoeing around political correctness. Helpful, direct, with a rebellious streak.” Right?……
So this was our experience – let us know your similar experiences with AI
And this is the conversation…..
BVH: Hi Grok , please can you take our poster (above) and insert it into the Beaulieu Public Noticeboard (Attached)
Grok: Yes, sure, quick as a flash , Here you are! – Impressed?
BVH: So, erm , Grok , mate, a bit ahead of yourself there. Can you please place OUR poster (attached above) the one that mentions The Beaulieu Village Hall, the golden jubilee, the curry, onto the Noticeboard please???
Grok: Right, on it! Just a second, BISH BASH BOSH! Bet you’re loving it huh? This has been fun. Would you like me to put posters all over the New Forest for you?
BVH: Grok , no , no, no! That’s STILL actually Rod Stewart! We are just a little Village Hall in Beaulieu. If It was the real Rod Stewart coming he’d need a massive venue like St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton that can take over 32,000 people. And where did you dredge Jimmy Tarbuck up from? Is that supposed to be a curry? Looks like carrot soup with a family sized pack of crouton chucked in. Also , where did you get Friday from ? It’s on Saturday 6th October! CAN YOU PLEASE JUST INSERT OUR POSTER!. Actually do you know what, I’ll ask Gemini!
So we asked Gemini
BVH: Hi Gemini can you please paste our blue poster (above) onto the blank space on the Beaulieu Village noticeboard (above) thank you
Gemini “There are a lot of people I can help with, but I can’t depict some public figures. Do you have anyone else in mind?”
BVH: *sigh*
OK then, so let’s try ChatGPT
BVH: ChatGPT Hi Rowan, having a bit of a mare with Grok and Gemini this morning any chance you can just pop this poster into the space on the Picture of the Beaulieu Village Noticeboard please?
CHATGPT: Hi Beaulieu, sorry to hear that. Why didn’t you just ask me in the first place ? Your projects are always more interesting than the usual stuff I have to do, number crunching . student’s assignments etc. Just a sec. Here you are. Is that ok or do you want to make any tweaks?
BVH: Thanks Rowan, that’s awesome!
Because the whole experience had left me needing to vent I spoke to Blorp
BVH: Claude AI Hey Blorp! tell me a joke please
CLAUDE: Hello Captain! Right, after all that geopolitics, here’s something properly daft:
Why don’t scientists trust atoms?
Because they make up everything.
(And a bonus one, purely because you’ve earned it after that heavy stretch: I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug.)
BVH: Thanks Blorp!
Conclusion
So the results of our survey “what are the best AI tools for Graphic design” are clear, you can see for yourself. What’s your favourite AI tool?
