Just visited a restaurant that had this framed photo of the National Library of Thailand hanging in the restroom. All other restaurants in the area need to step their game up

We have a "Can AI write poetry?" workshop coming up, and I was thinking about breaking my no-AI rule to create a lead image for the promotion. So I prompted Adobe's image generator: "Can AI write poetry?" Guys, are we sure AI is computers and not cats? Maybe AI is cats.

indeed. books are the best!
It’s cool that “don‘t judge a book by its cover” is the figure of speech for not judging by appearances. Like, that could have been anything. Don’t judge a nut by its shell. Don’t judge an orange by its peel. But we got it. Books are the best.
