Image by Tengr.ai STORY BY GOOGLE GEMINI PRO Hecate, a powerful and enigmatic figure in Greek mythology, is a goddess associated with magic, crossroads, the night, and the underworld. Her origins are somewhat obscure, with various accounts suggesting different lineages. Some sources identify her as the daughter of the Titans Perses and Asteria, while others claim she is the offspring of Zeus and Hera or Zeus and Demeter. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her parentage, Hecate's significance in the Greek pantheon is undeniable. She was a revered goddess known for her vast knowledge and powers over the earthly, celestial, and underworld realms. Unlike most other Titans, who were overthrown by the Olympian gods, Hecate retained her authority and influence, a testament to her power and wisdom. One of Hecate's most prominent roles is as the goddess of magic and witchcraft. She is often depicted carrying torches, keys, and daggers, symbols of her power over boundaries and transitio...

In the long run, Gemini fails to impress. I will not be subscribing. All features seem to be "under development". June 16, 2024 Gemini was not impressive at first. It can't draw faces. Until then, "painting" was my main use for AI. But along the way, I came into other questions and other issues. In this case, I asked why God created Satan: Image from MS Designer, not Gemini The question of why God created Satan is a complex theological issue that has been debated for centuries. There is no single, universally accepted answer, but here are some perspectives from different religious traditions: Christian Perspective: God did not create Satan as an evil being; God created Lucifer (Satan's original name) as a perfect angel. However, Lucifer chose to rebel against God out of pride and a desire for power, thus becoming Satan. Free will and the potential for evil: God created beings with free will, including angels. This free will allows for the possibility of ch...

Starting with this (from  Jaeda Qing ) Perplexity give the following prompt: Here is a potential DALL-E prompt related to the theme of a dramatic scene with a great white shark and surfers:"A cinematic, high-contrast image of two young female surfers riding an enormous wave, with a massive great white shark breaching out of the water behind them, its huge jaws open in an attack. The surfers' hair is windblown and their expressions are ones of terror as they cling to their surfboards. The wave is a towering, turquoise-colored wall of water, with sunlight dramatically illuminating the spray and foam. In the background, two other surfers can be seen riding smaller waves, adding a sense of scale to the intense scene."This prompt aims to create a dramatic, cinematic composition with high contrast lighting and vivid colors. It describes the key elements like the surfers, shark, large wave, and background surfers in detail to guide DALL-E in rendering an impactful, adventurous s...

Jump to Warp Speed Warp 2 Warp 3 Warp 4 "Warp Speed"  Illustration of " Language is a Virus " Laurie Anderson Completed in the time it takes to perform the song For a very long time, I have tried to master information processing tools and "wire" them together into a "machine" that suits my purpose. "Warp Speed Generative AI" combines several powerful families of AI tools to turn an idea into one or more pictures. Along the way, we get an explanation of the original idea, references and a detailed explanation of the style. I call it "Warp speed" because AI seems to give me whiplash as it takes my idea and runs with it. I just hang on and enjoy the ride. "Warp Speed" is a response to the current obsession with prompts: how to write them, when to share them, how to monetize them, what books to read, what courses to take and so forth. AI can write pretty good prompts. "Prompt Engineering" is an endangered speci...

 I discovered this rather dull picture with some exciting things going on ... I then asked Perplexity what's going on in the picture: "The image depicts an intimate scene from what appears to be a 19th-century domestic setting. A woman in a white dress is seated with a pensive expression. A man is leaning close to her, suggesting an emotional or romantic interaction. Another woman in a red dress stands nearby, observing the pair intently. The ornate, richly decorated interior with heavy curtains and furniture conveys a sense of wealth and opulence. The scene exudes drama, intrigue, and personal significance, capturing a poignant moment of human connection and emotion." So far, so good, except the figure leading in is a woman, not a man, which is a true gift. In the same dialogue, I asked Perplexity to write prompts for Generative AI, varying only the style or artist. I hope you agree that the results were exciting and educational. The artists and styles below are from Rem...

She will be 105 in September. She struggles to recognize her four children, let alone her countless grandchildren. Today, she said, "Nobody told me how to die." She has always wanted to die in her own home, an oversized place that has always had room for an endless parade of visitors. She has always been very "social." Although she struggles to remember the old friends dropping by, she chats happily "on automatic." There are a lot of relatives. She was raised on a farm near North Battleford, Saskatchewan, where her Russian parents raised 16 children. I asked "AI" - specifically Claude 3 Sonnet , to describe this situation in a short essay. I have taken the liberty of letting Grammarly , my AI writing assistant, make a few corrections to Sonnet's purple prose. This is the slightly edited version: She sits in  the twilight of her extraordinary life, a living embodiment of resilience and grace. At 105 years old, her eyes, dimmed by time, still h...
