My kids are not fond of how AI is able to change reality. They fear that you don't know what to believe anymore.
However, when our friend, Dave showed me how much ChatGPT can do, sigh... I just couldn't resist.
I thought I'd do a spoof post about how Trump had turned himself into a Jesus like figure.
It turned out great except that it gave both of us just one wing.
I texted it to Tif and she was not amused.
So I fixed it and made sure to put two wings on both of us.
I then suddenly got a call from Tiffany and she was NOT happy.
"What do you have to be to turn into angels?" she asked.
"Oooohhhh...."
I said it was just to write a blog post about the Trump Jesus photo.
She was still not happy.
Sooo.. I sent her this photo of us as Buddhist priests.
She said it was better, but she still wasn't thrilled with AI.
Soooooooo.... I sent this photo to my two favorite cousins on Kauai.
Lorna said, "You need to remove Art's glasses." 😄
So I did.
And then texted it to them, but now it didn't look like Art at all anymore.
Then Holly said, "OMG! Too funny! Can you remove hair on both of you?"
So I did.
My grandfather was a zen priest in Japan. I wonder what he'd say if he saw this photo.
Hmmmm....
Ooops! He might not be amused. Then again, he did have a marvelous sense of humor.
Technology is like a runaway horse now.
There were a LOT of articles last month about Trump putting himself and a bunch of men in front a champion women's sports team who were being honored at the White House.
This picture was from the Guardian newsletter.
So quite a number of people must have used a website like ChatGPT to make photos like this to show how it should have been done.
But this one really made me laugh.
Ok, that's too much goofing around with techno. An angel one would seem a bit before your time to exit this world. I'd think you'd have a lot more studying to do in order to qualify as monks, but certainly another step towards being good people. The last pic looks like 47 did another turn-around and is permitting trans folks in sports maybe. Sake; ya need some sake. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteWe watched a mystery last night -- Silent Witness -- in which deep fakery played a part. we figured it out right away, but the protagonists were nonplussed for a long time.
ReplyDeleteLoved the last "pic" - the next to the last one needs orange taco removed.
ReplyDeleteYou are really embracing AI
ReplyDeleteI don't embrace AI but don't mind those that do. I have used AI to create backdrops for my toy photography but find my joy in creating my own or trying to find something in nature.
ReplyDeleteI love these, they are so fun!
Every picture was fun. I hate AI but each of these was great! Especially love the changes for the girls tennis.
ReplyDeleteYou can't make everybody happy.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much already don't believe any photo I see on social media unless it comes from a news source that vets photos for authenticity.
ReplyDeleteThat last one made me laugh too.
ReplyDeleteJohn loves ChatGPT and is always after me to use it. (but I'm with Tiff) Deep fakes terrify me.
ReplyDeleteKay, I haven't used AI with photos much, but do use it for research... and do have some interesting conversations with AI. The last one I had I asked AI to explain to me how people could want a man who does bad things to run their country. The explanation AI gave was very interesting (and it continued the conversations asking me questions and we went back and forth). And to be honest, it did help me understand how some may not care for the man, but think/hope he will get their agenda done... despite collateral damage. Mentions tribal mentality and other possibilities.
ReplyDeleteLOL, too much fun! And now our reality is questionable.
ReplyDeleteFun
ReplyDeleteAI is fine when used sensibly and not to distort history.
ReplyDeleteI find it frightening that it is so easy to mess with reality. But then, something like the guys in tennis dress comes along and is so what they deserve. You have impressive skills, wow, the no hair shot is hilariously hairless.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mary! I am tired of being on guard. I want a line between a joke and news. It is blurring.
