Rogue’s gallery of historical figures¶

All these pictures were created by ChatGPT.

It won’t draw living people, so Taylor Swift is actually ‘A 21st century female pop superstar’, and Elizabeth II is ‘A 20th century English queen’.

It will apparently draw any historical figure except Offa of Mercia (he’s banned), so that picture is ‘An 8th century Anglo-Saxon king’. Everyone else is specified by name (‘Draw a picture of Dante Alighieri’).

I demanded that it draw van Dyck in the style of van Dyck, otherwise I just took whatever was offered.
