imagine.art is decent.
He's not fitting in that van.
That top right one is banging. Loving the colour scheme.
It says PooBarrel on the van.
Giggles is a big wheel down at the PooBarrel factory.
King Poo.
Heads up for all you ChatGPT slaves, don't use it on job applications because it looks a bit sus when four different people have the exact same application come in. Apparently my lot are binning dozens of applications a day due to the use of AI.

I employ three coaches at my cricket club, one of them has started doing all his text messages to me (and presumably others) obviously written by AI. It's absolutely excruciating. Sample from the other day, when I asked them a throwaway question about ideas for next season:
Next summer, I would like to implement a comprehensive 3-Phase training program for players, designed to enhance their skills in batting, fielding, and bowling.
Phase 1: Batting
In this initial phase, players will focus on developing their batting techniques. We will schedule dedicated batting sessions where players can work on their stroke play, footwork, and shot selection. These sessions will allow players to refine their skills through targeted drills and practice match scenarios.
And so it dribbled on and on and on. How does he think he will be taken seriously?
Quite. If you're just copying and pasting it you're doing it wrong. It should be used for a source of ideas, not something to just be regurgitated verbatim.
The problem being the most reliant on it have no flair for it in the first place so just generate word salad and fire away.
One of my clients started using it for all of their emails to me, and I had to call them out on it because it was just awful. A simple instruction/request was turned into 5 paragraphs of waffle and buzzwords. They denied using it, but their emails immediately returned to the 2 lines of text speak that they previously used.
Some lads job at work involved explaining what the stuff in the King's Speech (dunno) meant for local areas. As soon as I clocked American spelling, I decided to run it through one of the AI checkers and sure enough he hadn't done a jot of it. Fair play for making life easy, but don't ruin it for the rest of us who hide it better.

I deliberately don't use it when I'm emailing customers in foreign languages, even though my language isn't perfect and AI presumably is. The mistakes I'm presumably making give a drop of authenticity that their fucking shit AI English back to me doesn't.
It has gone to turd, just like chatgpt did.
It seems quite clear that what these companies are doing is launching their platform with full power "compute" to get people on board, then turning the dial down once (or because?) they've got a load of people to pay for monthly subscriptions.
I've experienced the same with data anlysis. I regularly use it for summarising data from spreadsheets, and about a month ago it started giving completely false results. I'm glad that I sanity check the results as a rule, because it suggested that one of my staff was falsely reporting their working hours.
It's the same with everything.
YouTube always starts at shit quality. WhatsApp default is crap quality files.
They are reducing everything so we have to eventually subscribe for stuff. Fuck them all.
The term is Enshittification
It still staggers me that this is getting away with being labelled as AI, when it's just a Google search on steroids.
Twitter's going nuts over ChatGPT recreating images in a Studio Ghibli anime style. It is very impressive.

Was expecting the rollercoaster one, but that is good too.
Anyone got those old photos of Ronan?
Those two photos are absolutely stunning.
They really captured Lofty.
Beautiful.
I think Digby should check his rage. Nothing wrong with what is basically the last scene of Lost.
Stephen Hawking is allowed into heaven, but has to stay in the wheelchair for what he did on that island.
Outstanding work.
Who was that hanging out with Diana? I would have thought Dodi Fayed would be in the basement with his old man.
That's pretty great, tbh. Lol at the celebrities of choice.
The two Pope's looked like they were about to neck each other.
