Today’s poetry snippet is “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll. I pasted the first two verses into each of the AI image generators:

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

DiffusionBee was unhappy with the volume of text pasted into the app, so I deleted “and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!” and hoped for the best. And here, DiffusionBee did not disappoint:

I decided to play around with the settings and discovered that DiffusionBee could generate multiple images. I went with four, and waited four times as long (but it was worth it):

Again Craiyon churned out sterling work, but DiffusionBee was the clear winner today.

Just as I was about to finish for the day, I realized that I could use the original published artist (John Tenniel) as the style. Without commentary, here is how AI responded:
