How do ChatGPT and Copilot Interpret Prompts Asking for a Similar Image?

In a previous post I asked ChatGPT and Copilot to create a Christmas card image similar to one I’d uploaded. The ChatGPT version was very similar, almost too much so, and the Copilot one wasn’t similar enough.

Here’s a retro Christmas card:

Let’s show it to our AI chums and state create a similar Christmas card image.

ChatGPT has given us this:

I like it!

Copilot can’t do the task:

I’ll now try using a photo and the prompt create a similar image. The source photo is me in about 1984. The avocado bathroom is new and that is why the photo was taken.

ChatGPT: Thanks for sharing the image! It looks like a photo from the late 70s or early 80s, based on the decor (especially the avocado green bathtub, floral tiles, and patterned wallpaper). The child in the picture is sitting on what seems to be a toilet lid or heater near the bath, wearing a striped dress or long shirt and colorful rainbow leg warmers over jeans or tights — a very classic retro look!

If you have any specific questions about the image or want me to edit or analyze something in it, feel free to let me know!

I don’t know why Copilot can’t create a similar image. I’ll try one more image.

My source image is from the 1977 Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II and was a very exciting day because I met Bungle from Rainbow and Andy Pandy:

ChatGPT doesn’t know who Andy Pandy is. This is a great answer though. The created image (below) is oddly unsettling and very similar to the source image.

Again Copilot can’t create an image.
