Garbage. Ppl pay for this?
My prompt was `Edward Hopper's American Gothic but with two robots` and it didn't even include a pitchfork.
#microsoft

American Robot Gothic attempt 1: its a farm house ok. The two robots look like the one from Lost In Space a bit, all metallic. 
There's some humanoid wearing a sunhat in the background; is he their master? Is he enslaved?  Is he a Solaran from Asimov's Robot/Foundation novels and his mutant telekenesis is how the Robots are powered?
American Robot Gothic #2 - a farmhouse (ok) but against a backdrop of oil derricks (fitting) with two Iron Giant style monstrosities who look like they're ready to stomp the house for being woke. What looks like an Edsel is in the driveway. Some weird abstract porch chairs sit... err float.. disjointedly on the porch. The Iron couple's robot progeny play "RoboCops and Humans" on one side of the porch. The light is that of dusk, about the time that the street lights would come on and all good ro…
American Robot Gothic attempt #3: farmhouse check. Someone is burning insurance papers in the basement furnace as black smoke eminates from the chimney.. and also from the old style TV antennae for some reason. There are two "tin can man" style robots with red eyes and antennae ears in the foreground with exposed hoses and articulations at joints, but they're not standing side by side and neither has a pitchfork. 

The SPirit of St. Lois flies in the sky along with... Skylab?! for some reason…
American Robot Gothic pathetic attempt 4:

Another farmhouse (ok). Anthropromorphized robots stand in the foreground (one wears a metal dress). Again, no pitchforks.  A masonic temple and... The Sears building ? appear in the background. The two (rightful) human owners of the house sit smug in their rocking chairs looking on as another human - who looks like Elon Musk with a Ron Jeremy eyebrows and mustache roars off in a 1937 Ford Two Door roadster, like he's the evil banker that just forecl…
