    My favorite mode of transportation is: magic portal!

    copilot prompt

    a wizard in his kitchen casting a portal to the grocery store. food sits half-prepared on the kitchen counter. through the portal you can see grocery store shelves. the wizard is able to walk through the portal to get to the grocery store

    I think what you meant was vehicle rather than transportation, but I followed the letter of the law 😜
    Specifically, I think the best method of transportation is magic portals. not technological portals, which I think would just kill and clone you. Magic gets around that problem by using… magic
    Instantaneous transportation to wherever you want is just beautiful. So good.

    It was hard to get copilot to make a portal large though to walk through, which was an annoying surprise lol

    Futurama already nailed it :)

    This one is still a prototype, for some reason people end up leaving the tube with more fingers than when they entered.

    Prompt: man screaming, flying really fast inside a glass circular tube, outside the tube futuristic buildings can be seen, motion blur, cinematic lighting --ar 1:1

      NGL, this seems like a fun but utterly terrifying way to get around. There better be a ball pit at the end however, or else I don’t want it.

    snail, opulent seating, highway, transporting persons, luxurious seats, ornate designs, golden trim, canopy, elegant railings, passengers, fine attire, modern vehicles, striking contrast, slow-moving, grand, On a bustling highway, an enormous snail slowly makes its way forward. Instead of a typical snail shell, its back features an opulent seating area. Luxurious, cushioned seats with ornate designs and golden trim are arranged in a semi-circle, providing comfort to the passengers. A small canopy overhead offers shade, and elegant railings add a touch of sophistication. The passengers, dressed in fine attire, relax and enjoy the unusual ride. The highway around the snail buzzes with modern vehicles, creating a striking contrast between the slow-moving, grand snail and the fast-paced traffic.

      <u>ideal</u> mode of transportation ⁉

      i would be horrified if my bike was able to fly.

      hover, why not a hovering bike but not a flying bicycle 😰

      now that i wrote “hover”, it’s strange that nobody posted a hoverboard
