What could OpenAI’s ChatGPT DALL·E integration create if we asked it to help us design a new mascot? For this profoundly hilarious assignment, I got curious about what else could be out there, deeply enmeshed in our history and folklore, throwing in a few new traditions along the way. Needless to say, DALL·E knocked it out of the park ... 出路. (What’s with the horrendous spelling, and what’s with the UT orange?)
If 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 University had a different mascot, what would it be?
A Tiger with Values
Lest we forget our true namesake, I started here with a Trinitonian and told DALL·E all about our commandeering of the Detroit Tigers’ mascot more than a century ago. I reminded DALL·E that we have changed a lot as an institution since then—no longer grubby mascot stealers, 我们有价值观! Enter Academi-Tiger, the feline with a fondness for discovery who also has uncomfortably human-like hands. And clearly can’t spell.
The UNIVRSITY in the Sun
First we copy Detroit, now we copy Phoenix? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I suppose. DALL·E did not disappoint when I prompted for a new mascot using our old traditions. I want to run my fingers through these fabulous maroon and gold rays. With such a sunny disposition, this mascot takes “University in the Sun” to a completely different level. Now, if only he had a right arm and, again, knew how to spell.
什么鸭子
Speaking of traditions, DALL·E certainly has a taste for the established and the new. Give it a beanie, 生日扣篮, and the feathered friends that have been calling Miller Fountain home during the spring these past few years, and we get this lovable retro 鸭 who looks homesick for San Diego. Let’s pretend the “O” stands for “One of a Kind” and not “Oregon.” Regardless, TriniDucks does have a nice splash to it. 羽毛了!
Spelunking Spider
I really need y’all to take me seriously here: This IS our new mascot. It’s got everything that’s truly 澳门金沙线上赌博官网—the quirky, the nerdy, the environment-y, the history-y. Featuring Cicurina baronia, an almost-extinct 蜘蛛 known as the Robber Baron Cave Meshweaver found on 澳门金沙线上赌博官网’s Oblate property, and nodding to our humble 圣安东尼奥 beginnings in a limestone quarry, this fuzzy little guy is the perfect balance of cute and creepy. Doesn’t “Go, Robber Baron Cave Meshweavers, Go!” roll right off the tongue?
