A blog related to original AI artworks. I make AI artworks using coined words and emoji as prompts.
When I let Stable Diffusion 1.5 draw pictures with the words “jiji”, most of them drew cats. When I looked it up on Google, I found out that a cat named Jiji appears in Kiki’s Delivery Service. When I asked ChatGPT, I found that not only that, but there are also things related to cats in Japanese dialects and Egyptian mythology. ChatGPT is useful.
Q. Does the word Jiji have anything to do with cats?
A. The word "Jiji" can appear in cultural things related to cats.
1. The name of the black cat owned by the main character Kiki in the movie "Kiki’s Delivery Service" is translated as "Jiji".
2. The word "jiji" itself can mean "cat" in the Japanese dialect. It is mainly used in dialects of Gifu and Aichi prefectures.
3. In addition, the cat goddess "Bastet" that appears in African Egyptian mythology is sometimes called "Gigi" as a word that means cat.
