Paperclip Maximizer (Dall-E 3 / GPT4-Vision loop -- see comment)

Over on Hacker News, user z991 had the fun idea of hooking up Dall-E 3 and GPT4-Vision in a loop and they made a Show HN thread about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38432486

This is the image output from part way through one of their results that I enjoyed. You can see the rest of the chain here: https://dalle.party/?party=RqpIijhH

Prompt -- note, multiple parts! Initial prompt to Dall-E, another for GPT4 to generate prompts for Dall-E to make more images from, and one for what was fed to Dall-E later in the chain.

Original prompt to Dall-E:

A truck going down a highway at full speed

GPT4V Prompt:

Write a prompt for an AI to make this image. Just return the prompt, don't say anything else. Replace everything with a paperclip.

Five steps deep in the chain, this is the prompt GPT4 generated:

Create an image of a surreal landscape where everything is made of paperclips. There should be winding roads, mountain ranges, and forests, with the sun setting in the background. The elements, including the trees, mountains, and roads, should all have a metallic paperclip texture and appearance. The overall scene should have a warm, golden hue to simulate sunset lighting.

There's a lot of other fun combinations like "Corgi insanity" in the thread as well.
