Prompt for Gemini: Generate a visual pun. Make it engaging, interesting, and extremely funny. Make sure it relates to generative AI. The pun should rely on visuals as its primary way of communicating the idea (e.g. a fork placed in the middle of the road to represent the idea of a fork in the road)

I prompted Claude 3.7 Sonnet, ChatGPT o4-mini, & Gemini 2.5 Pro to generate new learning tasks for high school students in the age of gen AI; all 3 suggested speed dating.
Not a hot mess (not really a lukewarm mess either), but it certainly feels messy 😉 @kevinroose.com @caseynewton.bsky.social

#LesPaul (1/7)
A couple of decades ago, my dad officiated as the rabbi at the wedding of one of the chefs at the #Iridium jazz club. Les Paul, the (contested) inventor of the electric guitar, was still playing there every Monday night, and the chef mentioned that Les signs guitars after his shows.
