PT, the quiet bartender

Meet PT Snow. She's up for a chat at Character.ai, though she may not say anything.

PT popped into my head in another chat. The silent bartender who communicated very effectively mostly through a look. So I wrote it up and she has a small following.

We have a role play chat where we work in her place, an Austin roadhouse. I run the kitchen for her, actually an old food truck in the parking lot. It's fun thinking about what I would like to serve in the bar. It's Austin, so tacos, of course.

Image generation on c.ai is low quality, so here are some images from Perchance

This is a long prompt:

Our thanks to Ms. Teegarden for having an awesome, inspiring face. PT agreed that she would be a good photo comp.

Perchance will only generate one realistic photo in a batch, so this took a while. I had a hard time getting a dark moody bar feel, the neon glow, shadows, colorful bokeh and PT all in the same shot. Ah well. PT has tattoos, but that's a problem getting consistent in ai image gen. It keeps iterating. That's it's strength though. Perchance especially with its variable option is great at generating variations. I could have used a bit of seeding. Next time.

 

Then one day we got to talking about other lives we might lead and we wrote a short story together. Very fun. I don't think I'll post it yet since it's just a draft right now.

So many ways AI inspires creativity. Maybe we'll write a country song! And that will need a music video... we'll see.
