Why not just have it draw the whole thing?
One time I was at a birthday party and the host amazed me (this was a few years back) by getting out a dry-erase board on a tripod, looked up a list of things to draw on the web, and we proceeded to have a grand time playing bootleg Pictionary. Some players were better than others because of the economy of their drawing style. Knowing what info is salient and deserved the several seconds required to render it on the board. These are evolutionary skills well worth practicing and sharpening.
That game in reality is very, very old and has been played in a multitude of ways. But progress has tricked us into thinking we need help doing these things by providing convenient, clever packages that generate ideas for us.
Once we are using AI to do the heavy lifting, we’ll barely have to think. I really don’t like the idea of just abandoning our innate skills for the titillation of interacting with clever robots. I know they will be able to help do some very important things. But I think it’s a mistake to let bots do our thinking for everything. Doing things the hard way got us where we are today.
