EVERY lesson has a reflection in the last 5 minutes. WHAT - SO WHAT - NOW WHAT?
Oh look! Mr Longfield updated his logo! It's a miracle! He listened to our feedback!
Well yeah. I got an email to design a free logo one day in class, so I played around with it a bit, and came up with this:

Clean. Simple. Efficient. Teacher guy, using a pointer thingy (that I've never actually used in my life), to indicate to a whiteboard while three students watch, presumably learning a heap. From their body language, they thought it was brilliant. So I thought the logo was brilliant. Perfect, right?

So over the holidays, I resolved to improve it, considering all these new whiz-bang software applications were coming out. I decided to try DALL-E - the OpenAI art generator. By the way, I've played with AI so much I can immediately see when you're using it. Well, let me rephrase that - I can immediately see when you're using it poorly. Which you all are at the moment. But I digress. So anyway, I decided to get the robot to make me a new logo. A better logo.

Me: "Can you make the logo say 'Longfield Learning' and include the Oxley logo somewhere surreptitious but still noticeable? And use the Oxley logo colour palette? "

Ta-da! And what a snazzy hat.
Great success! It kind of looks like me. It has the Oxley colours. It also has little anchors, a cool visual nod to Oxley. But I look a bit too much like a fisherman. And wait a second - 'Learniing?'

Can you make the logo include my likeness without a hat and perhaps a larger image? Can you also ensure you spell 'Learning' correctly?

DALL-E: Here is the revised cartoony logo for "Longfield Learning," featuring a larger image of your likeness without a hat, and with the word "Learning" spelled correctly. The design includes the color palette from the Oxley logo and a subtle anchor element.
Ok, what the hell. That's even worse. Loiariiing Learning? It has some cool shadowing and line work but damn, spelling is not DALL-E's strength. And who is that guy in the top? He doesn't look anything like me!! Right...?

Me: I like the image but you got all the words wrong.

I apologize for the oversight. Let's try once more, this time with the correct spelling for "Longfield Learning" prominently displayed. I'll ensure the design reflects your feedback.

Ok, they finally spelled the website correctly. But why am I a hundred years old?!

Me: Can you do this the same way but make my cartoon not so old? Here are some more selfies to get my likeness.

Ok, at this point, I'm not even mad. They made me a lot better looking (though I think I may be addicted to either wine or guiding Santa's sleigh with that nose) and that head of hair is something I could never dream of. But we really are going two steps forward, one step back with the spelling, aren't we?

Me: This is great except can you make me bald and spell Learning correctly?

DALL-E: The updated logo for "Longfield Learning" is now presented with the correct spelling and featuring a cartoon version of you as a younger, bald man with a beard and glasses. The design incorporates the anchor element from the Oxley logo and uses the requested color scheme.

Ok, I think I broke it.
Me: You keep making it worse. The bald guy is good, though I'm not sure why you've added the weird little circle on top of his head. And this time you've spelled Longfield and Learning WRONG twice. You've done the logo twice! This is crazy bad. Can you fix it?

DALL-E: I apologize for the errors in the previous images. I'll create a new logo, ensuring that "Longfield Learning" is spelled correctly and that the design represents a bald man without any additional marks on the head, maintaining a youthful appearance as requested. Let's try again.

Jesus Christ. Artificial Intelligence. More like artificial goober.
Me: Ok this is the best one - BUT you still spelled 'Longfield' wrong.

DALL-E: I apologize for the continued oversight. I'll correct this and generate a new logo with the proper spelling for "Longfield Learning". Please bear with me while I make this adjustment.

Me: Why do I have an anchor on my forehead? You spelled Learning wrong AGAIN!
