I asked AI what it wanted me to draw for it

Instead of asking it to draw something I prompted, I did it for it. How did it go?

Inspired by an article by Chaz Hutton who told how he had ChatGPT suggest cartoons for him to draw, I decided to push the boundary of the experiment a little further: I asked ChatGPT what it wanted me to draw, in a much broader way, since the only constraints were — at least initially — to ask me to draw abstract or figurative art only.

The first two requests were very general:
