On Working With Wizards

On Working With Wizards

Ethan Mollick has done it again. I hope he doesn't mind me referring people to his Substack because he is light-years ahead of me. The email I got from him showed how quickly AI is advancing, discussed problems with that new level, and used AI in his writing effectively. This is the link: On Working With Wizards. I am still trying to get through his book, Co-Intelligence, Living and Working With AI. It's easy reading, it's just that this puppy I adopted doesn't let me sit for long or read before I fall asleep. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about AI and its potential impact on our lives. By the way, I have downloaded Grammarly, so my writing should be getting better. As a techie, I have lost my edge. You should see me when something goes wrong with my TV or network. My oldest son gets stuck with helping me. Thankfully, he is patient. Now, if there were only a budget AI that could help me pay for the expenses of old age, hearing aids, dental implants, cars, and unknown unknowns. I know it's out there. 

Another Good Take on AI

Alberto Romero on his substack, wrote the following.

85 Things I've Learned About AI

In 1,000 days of ChatGPT

This article is excellent. I have learned some of these things, but not all. I hope to keep learning, even if it is 10 years after Romero started.

Best Information About AI

 I have been remiss, sewing a king-size quilt for my daughter and then traveling to Superior, Wisconsin, followed by three blissful days with my girls in Milwaukee. Today, I have rested and unpacked, and finally checked my emails. I have started reading Ethan Mollick's book, Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI. I immediately signed up for his Substack Column, One Useful Thing. His discussion of AI is amazing, so that is my post for today.    Happy reading!!!!

Introduction to AI, Continued

 For drawing and generating pictures using AI, there are several advanced programs and tools available. The most popular ones include

1. DALL-E: developed by OpenAI, DALL-E is a powerful AI model capable of generating images from textual description.
2. DeepArtIO: uses neural networks to turn your photos into artwork inspired by famous artists’ styles.
3. DeepDream: Originally developed by Google, DeepDream uses neural networks to create dream-like, surreal images.
4. Runway ML: A platform that provides various AI models, including ones for image generation, which can be used by artists and designers.
5. Artbreeder: Allows users to create and evolve images using AI by blending different images together.
6. NightCafe Studio: An AI art generator that allows you to create artwork from text prompts using various algorithms like VQGAN+CLIP and others. 

If you would like a specific diagram or detailed image of a unicorn made of triangles, I recommend using DALL-E or similar text-to-image generation tools. These tools can interpret detailed descriptions and create intricate images based on the input provided.

I asked Google Gemini to draw a unicorn. It has never seen one, but was able to draw this likeness.

 

 Then I asked It to draw a unicorn using only triangles. My quilting friends are thrilled.
