Theme
This week's theme is Retro Sci-Fi!
Specifically any science fiction from the 40's - 60's. It's all about clunky robots, giant computers with dials, ray guns, and all the other old cheesy sci-fi tropes you can think of :)
There's a bonus point if the image matches the media of that era, for example by including cheap effects, obvious costumes, blurry film or anything else you can think of.
Prompt for post image:
a 50s cinemascope movie still of a clunky robot with an blinking lights on it's chest, in a fake looking space ship, a pilot is flying the ship, scene is shot with 8mm film --ar 16:9 --v 6.0
The image turned out better than how I intended :)

I don't have the exact prompt because the chat encountered an error but I started by asking Bing to imagine it was born in the 1920s and grew up reading SciFi mags. I asked what it would imagine the future would look like in 20-40 years and if it could draw it as if they grew up to be an illustrator.
I like the multiple images, and the workflow is quite original. When I was little we went to Epcot center and they had these really old visions of the future presentations. These images remind me so much of them for some reason :)
