@sidewayskoyote @lumpenspace @barbarikon yeah sigh, i think gpt understands the intended composition quite well but can't get dalle to draw it- here's one of the prompts that i think makes sense but dalle doesn't: A diagram of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. The cave is elongated with a bright opening at one end. Inside, figures are chained facing a blank wall, with a fire behind them at a higher level. Shadows are cast on the wall in front of the prisoners, created by objects held between them and the fire. A path leads up from the cave towards the bright entrance. The outside world is depicted as bright and colorful, with natural features like trees and the sun. One figure is shown outside the cave or on the path, adjusting to the light.

@sidewayskoyote @lumpenspace @barbarikon ofc one could frame this as dalle understands too well ppl should be facing the light not the shadows... 😻
