ChatGPT Is No Fan Of Fan Boats

 Sorry, Ohioan. I couldn't get a fan boat for love nor money. I did get this image, though.

Meanwhile, as BobbyLee and the General rescue Maxine "Max" Gams, Cat has decided he has had quite enough of the Man with the Golden Cat's henchmen, thank you very much. He's swatted a switch and released poison gas, gas that is, of course, harmless to cats.

Good Lord, why can't they just die quietly? These people are intolerable.

Did you try all the synonyms? Wikipedia says they are also called airboats, plane boats, swamp boats, bayou boats, and hydroglisseurs

To tell you the truth, if I can't get it pretty quickly, I quit. I did an experiment and asked for a fan boat in a swamp and got one. When I added Bond, Beauregard and Max Gams, it lost track of what it was doing.

If you think of each noun you request in an image as an item - people, weapons, boats, etc. you might have a good notion of how complicated you can make a scene. Just as it can't count past two people, if you have two people and then add horses, it gets lost. My bet is that two people, the General and the boat were too much for it.

Still, it got the concept right, which was good enough for the joke.

Cat has been a little more difficult. In this image, it got his mood right, even if it was a recognizably different Cat than before. It took about 6 tries to get a realistic looking cat with an annoyed expression.
