2/ For the replacement blog artwork, I needed some #PostApocalypticFiction images. #BingAI kept generating people with faces that weren't even faces-- just huge eyeballs on a body. For the few that had recognizable faces, I was also trying to get it to STOP including guns in people's hands, and my request somehow triggered a safety in the system so it couldn't offer me anything. I wanted NO weapons, and somehow Google's AI took that command to be "unethical." 🤔

One image was supposed to be a lady sitting INDOORS at a desk in that post-apocalyptic society, & it insisted on giving me a female sitting at a desk that was out in open ground. Humanoids with huge eyeballs-for-heads (and guns again!🙄) were standing near the desk, even though I specified it was for a new image & indoors.

I was reminded why I've only used #AI a few times since it went public.

(Believe it or not, these are the best results from multiple attempts.)

1/ I gave #AI another try. My previous experiences with #Microsoft's ChatGPT (both as a writing assistant & research tool) were rife with problems. But I thought perhaps a different corporate overlord might produce different results.

I tried using #Google BingAI, which uses #DaLLE image generation. It was my first time using any visual AI. I had used #ChatGPT a few times, but found it too untrustworthy.

I asked the #BingAI app to create some #artwork. One was just to help me visualize a "tooth fairy" character for a #WIP; the other was to replace existing #blog #clipart with images that are more specific to the story and less generic.

The eyes on all were extremely weird & unnatural.

One "tooth fairy" was cross-eyed; most had eyes that were more anime-sized than realistic. The smiles on all the "tooth fairies" were WAAYY too huge, & their expressions were always more "creepy" than "cute." Until I specified gray hair (and even after I did so), it kept giving me only blonde women.

"As anyone paying attention to the tech space would expect, this year's #Microsoft Build developer conference is shot through with AI, thanks in large part to Microsoft's partnership with #OpenAI. Redmond is announcing over 50 new products at Build, from #WindowsCopilot to Bing plug-ins; check out some of the more interesting ones below."

They're going for the jugular to get as much #SearchEngine marketshare from #Google. Thats megatons of #Azure resources being thrown into the fray.
