Oh President Madagascar Edition
This... Sort of works. But Grok can't nail the details; it always goes overboard.
Took some tweaking, but huh. That is what she would look like.
The perspective on this one feels a little off, but not as bad as some other composite scenes I tried.
I'm starting to get a bit specific here. I already have images I can't upload because they give too much away. I think this is vague enough.

Top Story
- Whenever you copy this weird white text on a white background, a little white light lights up white to let you know you've done it. (Futurism)
If only it were so simple.
If you're copying and pasting your exam question into an AI to cheat, at least read the answer it spits out.
Also, don't ever do that. Copy into a neutral environment like Notepad (or Notepad++) precisely so that you don't inadvertently include nasty Unicode stuff, or, in this case, an instruction to the AI to make a nonsensical reference to an island off East Africa in your final exam paper.
Tech News
- Apple is facing the worst possible future. (WCCFTech)
By which I mean having to pay as much for RAM as everyone else.
- Minecraft system requirements have gone up. (Tom's Hardware)
Apparently my work laptop now falls below not only the recommended specs, but the minimum specs. Yes, it's a bit laggy when running with ~200 mods installed, but it's perfectly fine unmodded.
- TSMC's 2nm production is in full swing. (WCCFTech)
Not ahead of time either, given that it can take six months for a completed chip to roll off the production line.
- Research: Cosmic ray spallation, tufa versus travertine flowstone, positrons are evil, muon tomography, and the proper attitude for a cat tasked with editing fanfiction.

Actually, that's pretty close to what I had in mind.Not so happy with this one. Grok can't count when it comes to wheeled vehicles.
This... Sort of works. But Grok can't nail the details; it always goes overboard.
Took some tweaking, but huh. That is what she would look like.
Huh. I expected this one to break it, but it nailed it on the first attempt. (Yes, it has arms. How else could it wear a t-shirt?)
