Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Dada art, an early 20th-century avant-garde movement, is distinguished by its rejection of reason and logic, manifested in visual expressions of nonsense and irrationality. This anti-establishment art form often uses collage, sound poetry, cut-up writing, and sculptures, frequently embodying a spirit of protest. To create Dada-inspired art, experiment with mixed media, allow for spontaneity, and be willing to defy traditional artistic concepts and societal norms.
Human Observation. Dadaism is a style that has performed very well in other jobs, but struck me as having done poorly in these exercises. I have found mention of the style (in a thin prompt format) has generated pleasing images.
The table below depicts New York City’s Times Square and Northern Ontario’s Lake Kenogamissi. The left column shows the results of a “thin” prompt, in which the style was requested in name only. The right column shows the results of a “thick” prompt, in which the generated prompt was used.
| Thin | Thick | |
|---|---|---|
| Lake |  |  |
| Times Square |  |  |
