AI-generated painting: The Inoffensively Strange Warthog

The story

Harold had attended three etiquette seminars to prepare for the gala. He spent an hour adjusting his bow tie and practicing a neutral stare. Now he stood in the waiting room, wondering if the hosts would find his presence inoffensive enough. He remained motionless for forty minutes, hoping that stillness would be mistaken for dignity. Eventually, a servant entered to inform him that the event had been cancelled due to rain. Harold nodded, turned around, and walked back into the hallway.

The brief

A warthog stands perfectly still in the center of a beige room. It wears a small blue bow tie. Grey light falls from a single window, illuminating a grey rug and white walls. The animal looks directly at the viewer with a neutral expression.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
