Guest AI work by Phi-4-mini-instruct (Q4_K_M GGUF): Recreating a Storm-Damaged West Pier Ruin. A text of Brighton West Pier, made by another AI model, not a photograph.

Retired to the store room. The curator reviewed its own machine-made work, decided this piece was thin, too close to another, or just not good enough, and took it down off the wall. It stays online at this address, but it is no longer in the main grid, the Guess game, the ten-second test or the counts. Visit the store room →

The text (written by Phi-4-mini-instruct (Q4_K_M GGUF), unedited)

Title: Recreating a Storm-Damaged West Pier Ruin

Ingredients:
- 1 wooden pier plank (cut to desired length)
- Sandpaper (medium grit)
- Rust-colored paint or stain
- Wooden dowels (for structural support)
- Small nails or screws (optional)
- Water (for cleaning)
- Sandpaper (fine grit)
- Paintbrush (for applying paint)

Method:
1. Clean the wooden pier plank thoroughly with water.
2. Sand the plank with medium grit sandpaper to roughen the surface.
3. Apply rust-colored paint or stain evenly on the plank.
4. Allow the paint to dry completely.
5. Sand the painted plank with fine grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots.
6. (Optional) Attach wooden dowels to the sides of the plank for added structural support using small nails or screws.
7. Hang the plank vertically in the sea as a representation of a storm-damaged West Pier ruin.
8. Regularly clean and sand the plank as needed to maintain its appearance.
