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 species. 

At the heart of the idea is to let AI do everything it can, including writing a good prompt for Generative AI and the ability to "understand" just about anything you throw at it.

Warp Speed Generative AI Process

SUBJECT

Pick a subject. It can be a word phrase, a story, a picture from the WEB, or a photo. Anything.

CHATBOT

Show the picture to your favourite chatbot. Perplexity is highly recommended because:
  • It is super powerful, providing "front-end" access to a variety of AI engines
  • It has access to the WEB and can provide links - it's a browser on steroids
  • It maintains context, which is essential to the Warp Speed process

PROMPT REQUEST

Ask the chatbot for a generative AI prompt. An example would be:
"make a dall-e prompt for this picture"

SUBMIT PROMPT TO GENERATIVE AI 

I use Microsoft BING and Tengr, but any generative AI picture drawer will work.

REPEAT

You can repeat by revising the original request (changing the style for example), submitting the prompt to other Generative AI engines or tweaking the AI-generated prompt.

Some of the most interesting results can be achieved by feeding the resulting picture as the subject of the first step (that's the jump to warp speed). Along the way, you can vary all steps in the process, resulting in spectacular interpretations and interpretations of interpretations ... 

I provide specific examples of the process here. Watch out; don't get trapped in the warp since this prompt includes itself.

Facebook and Bing - A Killer Combination

 This is a partial list of groups I belong to that focus on Generative AI art: Facebook creates community. I use BING as a kind of Generative AI university: BING U.  I prefer the role of student, so my job is to find good teachers. Think of me as the guy who shows you around the campus and knows his way around, but he's a student himself. Microsoft BING is free and very powerful. It's an excellent way to learn Generative AI and a standard tool that everyone in my imaginary school has. The way to find a teacher is to see their work in a Facebook group. Then, save the picture that caught your eye in a Word document (or document editor of your choice). For example ... Joe McIntosh What we have found here is not only the prompt for the picture but a teacher who shares the prompts for all his pictures. Look for artists who work primarily with BING. Don't get distracted by other platforms or techniques. Learn to do one thing well before shopping for better tools. The best Facebo

A Process ...

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
