Posted on Posted in ai, Fantasy, humor, Hunter Healer King, LLMs, Steampunk, videos, Weird ScienceTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Midjourney had opinions. So did my characters. 🐝
Sometimes AI art gives you exactly what you asked for, and sometimes…Well. Your heroine refuses to look frightened and your hero has a bee-related explanation for everything. This is that second kind of video.

🐝 A tip of the hat to Cedar Sanderson who came up with “Sorry, there was a bee”.

📚 Chloe and Maxim star in the Hunter Healer King gaslamp fantasy trilogy by Mel Dunay: steampunk monster hunting, slow-burn romance, and apparently bees.
