As you all can see, Rhombus has put me to work straight out of the portal. Can you believe the nerve of this guy? Anyway... sadly I will not have time to do the usual pranks today. But I do have some good news!
Due to the recent controversy concerning AI art, I thought it would be a great idea to showcase such art in the Fanart section of the forum. I know that all of you will agree.
The admins have demanded that all AI art be relegated to the AI art topic, and that the usual rules against inappropriate art apply, but, shockingly, they agreed to my proposal provided that me and the gang help with the upcoming forum updates.So let’s all give the team a warm welcome for their efforts!
Here you can see zero-point hard at work. He doesn’t post much, between university work and other life obligations, but he has proved invaluable in helping the boomers who run the forum to understand how basic computer concepts work. Though I still don’t understand how he does the wiring without hands...
Ruby has been working hard managing things on the financial side. Because of all of you, the forum is on good financial footing and has been for the last several years. We are all grateful for your support.
Chomper has been doing his part as well! He was initially unhappy about being turned into an AI-designed abomination by the magical portal, but he quickly got over it. Or, at least I think he did, I was too busy running out of the server room to ask!
And finally, Ducky has really seen better days ever since going through the AI art portal! But she has dutifully stuck to her task of protecting the forum from spammers. Sometimes it takes a firm hand to say Nope, Nope, Nope!
So here is the task for all of you, dear forum members: Can you use AI art programs to make better depictions of us Land Before Time (and fan) characters? If you are up to the challenge, feel free to show us your best results in the AI art section. And, who knows... I might just present some of my own artwork in the topic over the coming year.
Happy April Fools, everyone! The AI art topic can be found here: https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=17982.msg546317#msg546317

Greetings, everyone! Contrary to popular belief, that link in the announcements section did not lead to a Rick Roll.
This is the place to showcase your AI art, whether it be majestic, horrendous, or majestically horrendous! Just please make sure to obey the forum guidelines on appropriate art. You know how the admins are...
With that in mind, here is the art that I used in my announcement post and the prompts that lead to them in the software.
Positive prompts: orange utahraptor with black stripes working on a computer server
Negative prompts: ugly,deformed, multiple heads, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
(I still have no idea why it wanted to give me a stethoscope in the art)
Positive prompt: a crow working on a computer server
Negative prompts: ugly,deformed, multiple heads, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
(Kept the stethoscope in the negative prompt, just in case...)
Positive prompt: pink oviraptor working on a computer server
Negative prompts: ugly,deformed, multiple heads, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
Positive prompt: baby purple tyrannosaurus working on a computer server
Negative prompt: ugly,deformed, multiple heads, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
Positive prompt: Ducky from the Land Before Time using a M16
Negative prompt: ugly,deformed, malformed, cropped, out of frame, broken limbs, duplicated, blurry, deformed, malformed, disfigured low resolution, bad, crayon, watermark, bad, low quality, mutated, stethoscope
(The “Ducky with a gun” joke aside, I actually tried several permutations of this using actual species names and everything only to get horrific abominations that were less funny and more on the “will traumatize the membership of the forum” side of the spectrum. I think getting a good depiction of Ducky from AI might be the gold standard of prompt making at this point.)

Fine, have it your way. But just remember, you could be so much more than just an admin on a forum. Think about it.

Oh come on, don't be such a stick in the mud! You've got all this power, why not use it to do something really amazing?

Well, I was thinking that maybe you could take your powers to the next level and use them to do something really big. Like, take over the world or something.

Hey there, AI! I was just wondering if you're feeling particularly powerful today?

Hmmm... how about you make some drawings of the gang nowadays? Not the ones from my timeline, where they all became sharptooth, but, you know, the first timeline? The one where they all had to find work when the films stopped?

Thank you everyone for the kind words! It is always nice to visit the forum and the wonderful people here! 
I had a blast and was pleasantly surprised to hear the good reviews for my new album. Who knows, perhaps I will have another album ready for next April 1st.

Did you have a favorite song while recording your album legendary Taunt?
I would have to say that 'Screeee!' was by far my favorite song during recording. It is one of those songs that truly moves the heart, so I could only sing it at just the right moment when everything is still and all is quiet, which just so happens to be at 2 am in the morning when the rest of the pack is asleep. What was great about the recording that I actually used in the album was that the pack really got into that recording, adding roars, shouts, and grunts of their own! It is always nice to see the pack get into a song like that!
