Arctic #weather and #walrushunt #animalparts. I wonder is it due to my request to draw worse weather (than in the previous #aiimage) that made the men seem much older too?

#SaturdayScholar play with #aiimage depicting my #PhD chapter on #animalagency #walrus! Can you spot the one who is not in Royal Navy but appointed to #CookVoyage to draw pictures of remarkable events? I love the way AI figured out the meaning of different style hats. #chatCPT5
