Tried prompting an AI for a hyper-realistic painting of my cat in a beret and ended up with a three-eyed nightmare creature.

I spent like 30 minutes in Midjourney last night trying to get a cute portrait of my orange tabby, Mr. Whiskers, wearing a little red beret. Instead it gave me this horrifying thing with three eyes and a melting face that looked like a Picasso from hell. Learned real quick that AI still totally fails at hands and faces, especially when you ask for something specific like a beret in Austin, Texas.

Did you try adding negative prompts like "mutant" or "three eyes" or did you think the AI would just figure it out? I swear those things have a mind of their own and will latch onto the weirdest details if you don't spell out what NOT to do. Also, did you give it a reference image of your cat or just describe him in text? Because I've noticed Midjourney struggles way more with cats than dogs, maybe the algorithm has less training data for feline anatomy or something.

Tbh I tried getting it to make a taco shaped like a cat and got a cat shaped like a taco instead.
