Well I have been messing around with Gemini's AI for some whiffery. I'll post the results here. Perhaps some may be of inspiration to the Canadian GB?

So there were made with Gemini, but I have recently started experimenting with Meta, and so far Meta is more consistent - at least its doesn't add fantasy bits randomly. The B-52 were to carry Bomarcs for a giggle, but you can see one looks like a giant Harpoon and the other like a roided-up Phoenix

I've also learned that the AI will take artistic license with national markings to the point where I prompted "Remove USA Flag, add Canadian Flag" the result was it added 3 more American flags.

All that to say, ignore 90% of the markings, both what they say and where they are placed!

No self respecting Canadian Whiffer can ignore the CF-105 Arrow. Here it is in three finishes. A surprisingly pristine low vis grey circa 1980, the gloss grey of the Voodoo that never was, and a nicely worn metal sporting a pair of exocetish missiles which looks like its lining up on parliament hill for a weapon release.

The OV-10 is in my top 5 list for sure. Here's one in low vis cam and one in the SAR role. The spotter optic relays imagery back to the base in real time where observers and AI can scan the ground for anomalies rather than relying on one set of eyes.

And what better to accompany the OV-10 on CAS or SAR missions than a Huey Cobra?

Now those look pretty good. At least there isn’t any weird chunks of wing or engine hanging off!

The Airfix 72nd Canberra and Mavericks "Neptune" styled profile inspired this mock up. I've yet to find an AI that can do the cheat line zig-zag properly. The one photo where it was straight was after 3 hours of prompts. I probably could have photoshopped it on easier. The AI is handy and fun for quick mock ups and then it rapidy falls short. Interestingly, Meta AI will not create a weapon - I asked it to add a chain gun, nope. Asked it to show the minigun firing - nope. Asked it to have 300 empty casings around a gating, nope - but it can do 30 or so! So strange.

The CL 515 was trialed by 427 SOAS as an amphibious SOF / Cargo. Using Boat Squadron from JTF-2, shallow water drills were practiced at the Army Advanced Warfare Centre in Trenton Ontario. The RCAF pressed the MC-515 into service in Kandahar to take advantage of its many lakes and rivers. Unfortunately, the newly posted A-2 pulled up the map of Kandahar municipality in Saskatchewan. The error went unnoticed and 427 deployed its amphibious flight of 4 MC-515  to KAF. One pilot, c/s Ghostrider, was sent back to Canada after an unauthorized tower pass, despite the pattern being full. Soon after that incident, the MC-515 "Skua" were painted in desert tan, where the harsh sun quickly weathered the finish.

Oh I just figured they ditched the FF stuff for cargo space.

But it reminds me of the time at White Sands when a Mi-24 sprayed us with what seemed to be onion soup. I mean, really? Day 1 of the FTX and we get souped?

Never let Michael Bay get his hands on your AI projects. I've been having some fun with this one. More on the way.
