Tigers, fish, elephants and stretched-out women have yet to complain. But quite unlike Dali and other surrealists, Gemini and other LLMs, don't really think up these images themselves. They create from what they are told — prompted — by their human overlords and by dipping into their vast vats of training datasets, and then go beyond these two parameters. They're darzis, not designers. Yet.
