AI is the rage these days. It seems they are into everything and anything. Writing, coding, music and art. I am presently exploring the art part.
Can AI take over the artist? No, not yet. But it can take you into territories one can only imagine.
Variations of the same theme, Part 2.

Some pretty interesting results popped out. But the machine learns. If you use the same prompt many times, the character generated out seems to get more consistent. And so far the negative prompts helps.

Trying variations of the same theme. Or rather the same text prompt.

The initial results are not so satisfactory. Extra digits (quite common), deformed limbs. The use of negative prompts helps. And certainly, the machine learns, recognises your style of prompt and the later results are more consistent.

I have tried many AI Image generators. Bing, Stable Diffusion, Craiyon. Presently, I am mostly using Fotor, because the free credits they gave are quite generous.

Weeds are tough. They are the cockroaches of the plant world.

Okay, don't just scroll social media everyday. Do something useless.
How about GloPoWriMo 2025?

why i am not a painter
I was sure there was no money in it.
I just cannot cut it with a palette knife, no way.
Sometimes the morning is so beautiful I forgot to count its colours.
I hear an inner voice saying "you cannot paint", and i am confused.
I heard you can stay an amateur, forever.
The brush whispers to the ear but it would not listen.
Sometimes the morning is so grey I do not want to get out of bed.
I hear my missus saying "you cannot paint, go figure out the bills".

Yeah, yeah, one week without a post. Everyday boring stuff has a stiff grip. The Day 3 prompt at naporiwrimo.net asks us to write a poem explaining why we are not a painter but some other thing else, in the vein of Frank O'Hara's "Why I Am Not a Painter". Did I get that right?

talking to myself
Hey bro, you know I don't have much money right now, who brings so much cash over to this jungle? We are in the army, man. Anyway, I spent most of it on smokes, brought two cartons of marlboros over, heard the local ones are shit. The rest for R&R, we need that, the pubs, the massage parlors. It's not cheap in the city here in these 70's, everyone's trying to rip you off.
Talking about money, I made some at the blackjack games in the barracks. It's wild man, almost every night. One guy we called the "Colonel" completely lost his shirt and shit, says the dealer rigged his games. Pulls out a bayonet. We all restrained him, of course, no way the officers or MPs get a whiff of this. Then we pass a helmet around, toss in whatever change we can for his R&R.
Oh, if you have a chance to come over here, let the bedbugs bite you.

The prompt at SingPoWriMo Day7 was to "write a poem addressed to your younger self". I think the above qualifies.
