Welcome to the 4th in a series of posts where I will test AI image generators and see how they handle making maze art. I will be asking 10 prompts and seeing what gets generated. My goal is to evaluate different AI image sites against each other to see how they perform. If you need to catch-up here is the series so far:
Making Maze Art with Craiyon
Today I test out Craiyon. You can access the website here. You can try the site for free without signing in. Each prompt, or generation will generate 9 image options ! Wow, 9. Most AI generators give you 4 images. For this exercise I chose the one closest to what I had asked, or the most interesting. All prompts I use are the same for each site !
Prompt 1 - Make a medium difficulty maze of the Eiffel Tower in black and white with arrows at the start and finish
Good luck finding the Eiffel Tower in that. If I had said make a black and white maze that looks like a paint pallet that has been disturbed it would win. But I didn’t. Fail.
Prompt 2 - Draw a medium difficulty large maze of the Empire State Building with the start and goal embedded in the structure
But it does know what the ESB looks like ! Seems like something drawn quickly with a marker, surrounded by a maze kind of ?
Prompt 3 - Draw a difficult maze of the White House pixel art style
Interesting. Not what I was looking for but fun to look at !
Prompt 4 - Draw a difficult maze that looks like a drawing of a famous building in sketch style
Looks like a hand drawn maze. No building. But I do see openings for a start and goal…probably only 2 would have been better, but 5 is…..something.
Prompt 5 - Draw a maze in the style of doyoumaze.com of a skyscraper in NYC
Not my style, but it does look like a building.
Prompt 6 - Draw a maze in the style of Sean C Jackson of a scene from a large outdoor market
Not sure what is going on in the corner. A body with the legs and stomach separated from the head and chest. Maybe.
Prompt 7 - Make a maze of a slice of an orange in color
Where is the maze ? Nice slice of orange though !
Prompt 8 - Make a maze integrated on top of a photograph of a king sitting on his throne looking cantankerous beside his beautiful queen
Didn’t get the maze again. A photo from a horror movie?
Prompt 9 - Make a solvable maze that is very large and very difficult to solve because it is so complex
At least when you prompt complex maze it knows to make the pathways smaller.
Prompt 10 - Make a 3d render of a red and blue glossy cube maze
Interesting that none of them are perfect cubes. And that all the pathways/walls are wavy and not straight.
How did Craiyon do ? Ok. It is certainly easy to use and I love that it gave me 9 images to choose from, even if the output wasn’t what I expected. I think this site has potential.
