Created using FastAPI and HTMX.
Ayushmishra23•1d ago
cool
Simorgh•1d ago
Is it using a model to generate the ASCII art?

It’s quite clever.

4m1rk•1d ago
It's gpt-4.1
Simorgh•1d ago
Got it — it’s interesting how a text model can generate compelling visual representations that are essentially style-matching.

Matching styles using vision models is not that easy, especially if you want to capture the core subject of the prompt.

mysterydip•1d ago
Not quite sure it's working properly. Just saw a shrek face labeled "pikachu", and a column with nothing else labeled "windmill".
4m1rk•1d ago
Yeah, it sometimes doesn't feel like it. I tried different prompts but it's not that smart at generating ascii art.
cadamsdotcom•1d ago
Life is complete, I now have a beautiful 2D ascii elephant!

Random idea: now animate it.

Run the initial generate, keep that result, provide it back to another llm call: “user requested an elephant. you drew this. (object here) generate the next frame of an animation of this.”

Iterate the prompt 2-3 times for cool animated ascii art :)

4m1rk•1d ago
I like that! Though it's not very smart or consistent at creating ascii art.
dmd•1d ago
I'm not sure I understand the appeal of sites that are literally a less-than-a-sentence prompt I could have typed myself.
4m1rk•1d ago
Even the UI is created by AI :bushes:
dwaltrip•1d ago
But you didn't, and they did :)

It made me smile, I'm glad they built it.

dmd•1d ago
Well, no, I have many times typed exactly that prompt, because making a hundred billion dollars worth of computer go "brr" to make ascii art is amusing! I just don't understand what the point is of a dedicated site.

I'm curious too. Should've make it explain why it generated what generated and as a note :D

Looking at some of the popular suggestions, it can't help with some words, because they are too rude, however, "pen is" returns something rather long.

tried with `goldfish`
