O strong Ram, which hast batter'd heaven for me !
...
(Ascension, La Corona. John Donne)​

I asked Grok to generate an image in the style of a Michelangelo painting that shows a giant ram head-butting the gates of heaven and breaking in. A great host of people in white robes should be rushing into heaven through the broken gates.

And this is what it generated.

Not quite what I had in mind, but still...nice imagery. Lock those gates against me? I have Jesus!

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Nope. Just a random pic of redfish. I do catch that species, but ours aren’t that beautiful golden color where I live. Their colors are different based on their diet.

Sure looks like the fish and sleeve and hands in your profile pic.

Donne:

O strong Ram, which hast batter'd heaven for me!​
Mild lamb, which with Thy Blood hast mark'd the path!​
Bright Torch, which shinest, that I the way may see!​
O, with Thy own Blood quench Thy own just wrath;​
​
​
Instructions to Grok:

generate an image of a path in a dark wood. In the distance on the path place a white lamb. Place a trail of blood on the path from the foreground to the lamb. Light the path with torches.​

Then I clicked 'edit with Grok.' Grok asked me, "Describe what you want to change in the image."

I said, "In the style of Rembrandt."

And it said...

Do volcanic craters like this usually fill in with dirt and grass? I’ve seen pictures and it always seems amazingly level and smooth for a former volcano.
