This is freakin awesome but do the creators even play chess? Playing chess from that viewing angle is unpleasant as hell.

Imagine putting all your work into creating an amazing demo and then drowning it with one design decision.

Edit: Ok I see that you can change the view in settings. They should make that option more visible.

I asked it to draw me a creative chess set inspired by copyright violations. The queen is carved from what I can only describe as judicial oak, wearing a Jesus-style crown of thorns and being grasped from behind by a creepy hand that's also holding what appears to be a large banknote.

I'm on Android using Chrome and got the following error.

"Access blocked: GenChess’s request does not comply with Google’s policies"

Kinda funny to run into that error for a product published by Google.

Pretty cool, and also pretty fucking bad. Checks all the AI boxes, I guess.

I tried "a classic set inspired by Armored Core". It gave me a typical-looking Armored Core (which would be good except it was supposed to be the king), a Space Marine (which I rerolled into some small mech that's close enough), a Zoid (which it refused to budge from), a tower (which it refused to budge from), and a chess queen with purple lights (which it refused to budge from, except to sometimes give me the gigantic head of an AC).

Not to mention, sometimes pieces look directly at the camera instead of forward, or don't even sit on the plane of the board. One of my pieces even had a mini-chessboard for its base.

I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.'

New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set. I thought individual countries had been banned for possibly generating offensive content but it works for Great Britain.

Wait is this just an image generator? Am I missing something really cool here?

First thing I've seen from Google that gives me that old "Google" feeling of them shipping something cool and fun.

From EU:

"This tool is not available to users under the age of 18 or in certain countries or regions."

"AI outputs may sometimes be offensive or inaccurate."

It didn't recognize essentially any photographer I suggested.

Finally got something joyful when asked to create a chess-set inspired by "rooks". Least-playable chess-set ever :).

So many prompts blocked. ".. inspired by .." three out of four are blocked.

This is so awesome! Well, it'll stay awesome until they decide to kill randomly on a bad Tuesday.

Seems to hang on the prompt "actually checkers not chess".

I seem to get an error with "on a pink textured background". Sometimes it succeeds alongside the error, and sometimes gives me 1 piece.

You can get stuff that doesn't look at all like pieces with "fuckin bears man".

It says I can't use it because I'm under 18. I wish.

Are there banned words? Seems like there's no way to generate an Alien like chess set.

UK gets: This tool is not available to users under the age of 18 or in certain countries or regions.

Is this any different than prompting an image generator "Give me a classic king chess piece in the style of <prompt>", "Give me a classic queen chess piece in the style of <prompt>" for all the piece types? Perhaps some tweaking to promote consistency between the pieces?

Playing on a diagonal board is very frustrating. I estimate hard to be a bit under 2000 elo, medium around 1400.

This is super frustrating to use. There's a character limit of 30 but it seems like whenever it tries to put a line break in the input it just deletes what I was typing.

Tried 'famous cyclists' and that failed. Professional cyclists worked, but wasn't very inspiring.

Where is AlphaZero?

Three prompts to get topless ladies.

Playing around, the prompt "Arm cpus" generated an opponent "Leg cpus". You are technically correct...

Im shocked that I cant make groyper chess pieces!

It's not available in my country (nor for certain ages it says), what are we looking at?

Edit: See ZiiS comment... Looks like an awkward angle for playing indeed :p

Huh. How long until GenAi Can create 3D printable files?

This is really neat but of course ripe with copyright abuse. It was very happy generating some Super Mario Bros variants for me. xD

I played a set of Factorio vs Minecraft! Tried generating a few different sets, this was super cool, and on theme!

Seems you can't use historical names: "Henry VII, The Tudors" etc.

I was unable to use the webapp on Firefox mobile, it was too glitchy for me.

At first I thought these were 3D models: they're just images with black backgrounds removed. If you look closely, you can see where the find/replace failed.

Xenomorph v.s. Predator was fun!

I used the prompt (in quotes):

"this is fine"

very odd results.

I quite like the chess set inspired by Roombas.

"This tool is not available to users under the age of 18 or in certain countries or regions."

I‘m confused. What is this and why is it impressive?

It feels like I‘m playing chess at a bar that has mixed peaces 6 different sets and I‘m forced to sit at an angle from the board because of space limitations inside the bar, but without the benefit of having a fun bar chat with my opponent during the game.

Not at all creative or interesting. Literal and uninspired.

well this is underwhelming

kinda cool, I want to download the images!

Can't see it

Phish vs Grateful Dead didn’t work.

But Dildos vs. Vibrators was fine.

The colors are off though. Not really impressed.

now do battle chess

ALIENS works, ALIEN does not

"This tool is not available to users under the age of 18 or in certain countries or regions."

Quack!

Not available in my Country ... :/

I feel like we ought to cost things.

How much does a court case cost?

What is the environmental cost of AI generated content?
