Nonsense Words III—Vogon Poetry

Inspire by my previous efforts to see what an AI would draw when given nonsense words (see here), I decided to see what it would do with nonsense words from a master. I chose the Vogon poetry that Douglas Adams composed for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Bēhance has limited formatting options, so I've decided to give you the poem, a few lines at a time, preceded by the images that Stable Diffusion v2.1 (Imagine V4) produced. I've underlined each nonsense word so that you know what each image is supposed to represent, from left to right.




Vogon Poetry

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,

Thy micturations are to me, (with big yawning)
As plurdled gabbleblotchits, in midsummer morning

On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,

Its earted jurtles, grumbling
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer.

Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,

Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,

And living glupules frart and stipulate,

Like jowling meated liverslime,

Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,

And hooptiously drangle me,

With crinkly bindlewurdles, mashurbitries.

Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don't!​​​​​​​
