Hmmm, I guess it would be possible to take all top-level comments and check if they have an image. Then you collect

• Username
• Number of points
• Text?
• Timestamp created

You could determine the points for most upvotes and last two entries. But you still need to give input for prompt included, OP favorite, and original. But just the collecting of the data and putting it in a workable format (csv, json, tsv, etc.) might remove some of the tedium. A second script for converting the filled in CSV to individual markdown comments and possibly posting them, would remove some more annoying work. I’m not so sure what the direct messages would help with though.

Having done this for 4 or 5 times (I lost count :). These are my main annoyances:

• Collecting all the users in a nice overview
• Applying the scores
• Writing out the markdown tables and scores

For example, in this round I:

• collected all the users in an Excel sheet
• added all the different point categories and the Totals as columns.
• Filled out the columns per user.
• Unpivoted the columns to key/value pairs
• Saved the result as CSV
• Threw the CSV in ChatGPT and asked it to create markdown tables.
• Took the list of markdown tables and copy-pasted them as replies for each user, together with a personal message

It took me more than an hour to do it properly and I guess a lot of it could definitely be automated.

Anyway, it would make for a fun little project I guess. But I lack the time or skills to do this properly.

So there’s a banana, and more banana, and no money… And a pig?
I still don’t understand, what is it you were trying to make here? Regardless of the prompt, in normal human language?

For some reason I keep hearing the Skippy theme song :)

I don’t understand why Cheshire Cat is not allowed, since I’m sure the first illustrations should be in the public domain by now. It’s not like you specifically asked for the Disney version. Anyway, this is still a good likeness.

That looks adorable, and definitely a better use for SD3 than humans sitting at a bench :)

I really love the idea of mixing an animal with a microscopic organism.

Though a felt puppet can hardly be called “some other organism”, I will let it slide since the result is so good :)

Definitely one of the more unexpected combinations, and it turned out so well! I love his two little front legs.

It’s looks very cute :) And the inpainting is a clever way of doing this.

It’s going to get better! The kids just left for a 5 day beach vacation with grandma.
