AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a square pyramid with a square base BCEF and four triangular faces BOI, COI, EOI, and FOI. Start by drawing the four vertices of the base square B, C, E, F, then draw vertex I and connect it to each base vertex to form the triangular faces, and finally connect vertex O to each base vertex to form the base.
