Putting a face on a faceless account

I've been playing around with Grok today, logging into some of my X accounts and trying out the prompt Draw an image of me based on my posts." [1] In most cases Grok returned a graphic, but sometimes it would respond with a text description. In the latter case asking for a photorealistic image made it produce a graphic.

Here's what I get for @AlgebraFact:

The icons for all my accounts are cerulean blue dots with a symbol in the middle. Usually Grok picks up on the color, as above. With @AnalysisFact, it dropped a big blue piece of a circle on the image.

For @UnixToolTip it kept the & from the &> in the icon. Generative AI typically does weird things with text in images, but it picked up awk" correctly.

Here's @ProbFact. Grok seems to think it's a baseball statistics account.

Last but not least, here's @DataSciFact.

I wrote a popular post about how to put Santa hats on top of symbols in LaTeX, and that post must have had an outsided influence on the image Grok created.

[1] Apparently if you're logging into account A and ask it to draw B, the image will be heavily influence by As posts, not Bs. You have to log into B and ask in the first person.
