“Hey, it’s Baby Lyon here, and let me tell you about the NTU Dragon Boat team channelling Year of the Dragon vibes ahead of the new year. Big cheers to them for snagging victories in not one, but two categories at the Singapore Regatta Waterfest 2023 – the DB22 Tertiary Open and DB12 Tertiary Women. And the Men’s dragon boaters were named Sports Team of the Year at the NTU Sports Awards Ceremony in December. Our paddlers are making waves, and I couldn’t be prouder of them and all the other hardworking NTU athletes. Ready to roar into the Year of the Dragon!”
How we used ChatGPT
ChatGPT played copywriter for this snippet.
How we used Midjourney
It generated the image of Baby Lyon in a dragon costume. Images of Baby Lyon created by us were fed to Midjourney with a request to put it in a dragon costume.
😮: To our amazement, Midjourney let us toggle the level of influence the reference images had on the visuals it generated.
🤔: However, it also sometimes generated gibberish and weird logos. We worked around this by removing text like “NTU” from the reference images.
