Spent 8 hours trying to get an AI art generator to make a simple cat picture

Last weekend I was messing around with Midjourney and just wanted a basic image of an orange tabby cat sitting on a porch. I typed in what I thought was a clear prompt and got back some weird mutant cat with three tails and a porch that looked like it was melting. After 40 tries and tweaking every single word I finally got something decent but it took way longer than I expected. Has anyone else run into a simple request that the AI just could not handle no matter what you did?

You ever think maybe the AI is just too good at making art? Like it's trying to be creative and add "style" when you just want a normal photo. I tried to get a picture of a plain coffee mug once and it gave me a mug made of crystal with steam that looked like ghosts.

Totally, I asked for a simple cat and got one with galaxy fur.

Read somewhere that these generators are trained on weird art, so they default to strange.
