A Guide To Asking Robots To Design Stained Glass Windows

The blogger at Astral Codex Ten plays around with DALL-E-2, the latest art-generating AI. (I can't play with it yet; there's a waitlist for access for people who have actual reasons other than "I WANNA", plus I am not sufficiently code-savvy to set it up myself, thus I have to wait until it's public and someone stuffs it into a Google Colabs notebook.)

Anyway, he's trying to get it to generate stained glass windows of the Virtues of Rationality and running into the (hilarious) shortfalls of AI.
WAIT NO I JUST GOT IT! The reason William of Ockham [Ockham's Razor] has the giant beard is because most of the corpus of images with people holding razors is SHAVING ADVERTISEMENTS!
