My first reaction to criticize, is to mock first, write later. My main use, if ever, for using GenAI for imagery is for the mocking thereof.
Slop, slop, slop, each day its more of a effort to not step in the GenAI slop. Can Gump wisdom be any help? The gaffe by the Chicago Sun Times is an easy target, for publishing insert of summer features a list of books to read… that mostly do not exist. It’s almost too easy […]
Countless are the posts of people showing off the “coolest” AI thing, using Google’s NotebookLLM to generate a chatty podcast of your uploaded book, blog post, paper, shopping list. Woah. Wow. You click and listen hearing a male and female voice banter back and forth in conversational tone. Neato, you are so onto this AI […]
After so many years of taking/making photography, from an undergraduate photography class at the University of Delaware, to a darkroom in my grad school apartment, to first digital photos with an Apple Quicktake, on through DSLRs, and the alluring capability of an iPhone 13, I’ve been firm on representing the world I see. Even if […]
I was in conversation this week with the folks concocting an AI flavored DS106 making use of the remarkable monster spawned of Michael Branson Smith of a generated Dr Oblivion All I can say is try it. But there was a round of group fatigue, ennui, fill in another synonym towards AI. We are not […]
It’s so tempting to do. You write something or give a talk/presentation about AI and a few paragraphs/minutes in, you pull out the Big Reveal that what you read/said was generated by ChatGPT. “Woah” swoons the crowd (did not see that one coming, eh?) It’s basically this old trick (stay to the end to see […]
So you have decided to join in and write some kind of post, article, thought piece about Artificial Intelligence. Of course you have something to add to the pile. And in a flash of brilliance, you turn to one of a kazillion AI Image Generators (according to Google, 1 kazillion = 959,000,000) and you toss […]
I’ve tried to shedding much attention on OpenAI CEO drama. But after hearing whiffs of vapor about some Q star thing and the Amazon rolls out some other AI hooplah named… Q there is only one recourse. Mocking. That’s right, I haken back to my childhood adoration of the original James Bond flicks (I am […]
Google Docs will have it, Microsoft is brewing it, PhotoShop is doing it, so is zoom…it’s high time that the advanced technology of CogDogBlog hop on the artificial intelligence inevitable train. As demonstrated this week at the Reclaim Open 2023 conference, behold the new generation of blogging powered by AI Levine: This is all the […]
Sigh, one cannot avoid The Topic, the Only Thing as it has been grailed. At least it provides fodder for some mocking. It’s so easy even with the merest of ChatGPT et al interaction to respond under the influence of the Weizenbaum effect made visible in the verbs we choose. And like Laura Czerniewicz wrote […]
Perhaps there needs to be more romance in the world of Artificial Intelligence? For a while, I had some thoughts back to good old ELIZA. What does she think of all this stuff? Most likely she would not say but deflect back with more questions. I had not realized … that extremely short exposures to […]
