Show HN: CPU Shit Drawer – AI Generates JSON Coordinates, CPU Renders with PIL

https://poops-draw.site/
2•thunderlab•4h ago
I built this weird little drawing app where:

Gemini AI turns your text prompts into JSON-based shape instructions

The server renders the image using Python PIL on a plain Linux CPU (no GPU, no canvas)

The site is intentionally slow — CPU rendering is inefficient and queue-based

Limited to 2 requests per day due to Gemini API free tier limits

You can watch your request crawl through a real-time processing queue

It’s purposefully “bad” — just basic geometric shapes — but somehow still oddly entertaining.

The whole point was to see if we could build something fun using only CPU rendering and free-tier AI.

Live demo: https://poops-draw.site Tech: FastAPI, Gemini API, PIL, MySQL, Docker
