As I have aphantasis I am not good a drawing images because I have aphantasia I cannot inagine what they would look like - but I can describe them in words. As a result I have used Bing to create images from a word description and used the results in the earlier blog posts. I found some of the results very impressive - but when I came to the post "What is CODIL" the AI package demonstrated how little it understands what it is doing. I simply asked for a picture of a laptop with the word "CODIL" on the screen. This completely floored it and however I reworded the request it usually used the word "COIL" or "COLL". So I repeated the request for a picture of a shop front with someone standing outside, with the name "CODIL" and it offered three pictures of a shop called "CODE" and this interesting variation.

I then asked of a picture of a road sign showing the way to "CODIL", and it gave me four different pictures showing the way to "CODDL", "CODDIL" "Codil" and correctly "CODIL." So after about a dozen pictures it finally came up with one picture with the right word properly capitalized. Success at last!!!!
Trying a different wording I simply asked for a picture of a sign with the word CODIL - and when that failed asked it to produce a copy of a sign where "CODIL" is spelt correctly - which produced more misspellings including "CORRIIIAL," "COPIDDAL." "CORRDLA" and "CORIDAL?

I have also had failed attempts where I have tried to specify relative positions (left and right), size, or unlikely situations.
