I asked Bard to make images depicting: "a female passenger getting out of a transport pod. In the background is a forested parkland. Transport pods are small, oval-shaped vehicles about the size of a compact car, hovering silently about a foot off the ground. They have sleek, aerodynamic teardrop styling crafted from a lustrous silver-hued alloy that appears part metallic, part plastic polymer. The exterior surface of the pods is seamless and smooth, with no sharp edges or visible seams, almost like an egg. There is a single side door that lifts open organically on a central hinge rather than having a separate handle. The opening reveals a seating compartment inside that can accommodate 1-4 occupants on a wraparound cushioned bench. Once passengers are seated, the door seals shut forming that flawless exterior egg shape. At the front and back ends are nearly invisible micro-thrusters ringed evenly like indentation lines for propulsion. There is also a single small slit window at eye level so occupants can see outside from the passenger cabin during transport. When active, a soft blue glow emits from the bottom side of the pod and the thrusters pulse on and off rapidly to stabilize the antigravity hover system. Altogether the pods have a very sleek, minimalist alien aesthetic combining both hard and soft elements into their teardrop spacecraft shape and functionality." The idea of a transportation pod and this description were generated by the Claude chatbot.
