Giving Stable Diffusion another try! And it's sooo ridiculous!! I love it!
Stable Diffusion has no idea what a plow looks like, and it also doesn't know very well who the heck Don Quixote is. I could live with that, but oh man, three legs??? Also, it was impossible to get banana slices. Well, the panels are ridiculous enough to remember them, so I'll take it.
