I think the AI cat is out of the bag. Tricky to turn a tide as Canute found.Used to make a statement, it has its place among punk/pop/factory 'art'. Without human prompt I fear it will never 'create' anything useful but may reach the same conclusions from the same data quicker.😉

Woodland cherries, flowers ablaze, Hold no hint of human praise; Hazels in a hidden glade Give no thought to stake or spade; London planes in Georgian squares Count no patrons in their prayers; Seed and sapling seek no cause, Bark and beetle shun applause; Leaf and shoot know nought of debt, Twig and root are dumb— and yet Choirs of songbirds greet each day With eulogies, as if to say: ‘Whosoever plants a tree Winks at immortality!’ Felix Dennis

#Budget response response.
Poster on noticeboard main headline is 'For the Tories, breaking Britain was childs-play'. The centre is 3 nursery building blocks ABC captioned repectively Austerity, Brexit, COVID. Beneath it says "Let's give the grown-ups chance to tidy-up". This is a comment on 14 years of failed rule by them and their attempt to criticise their replacements after less than 18 months in the job.

That said, my phone AI did do a rather nice job of producing a poster for the 1939 Wizard Of Oz filmed in Yorkshire. All I changed from the first attempt was adding in the big square chimney from Salt's Mill in place of an ambiguous clock tower! Scary stuff...
AI gen Wizard of Oz in Yorkshire poster with Blake-style satanic mills for Emerald City, rolling dales with sheep, a dry stone wall bordered yellow cobble road, tornado carrying a Yorkshire stone farmhouse and 3 main protagonists; tinman, Dorothy in green wellies carrying Yorkshire terrior Toto and Cowardly Lion in tweeds eith flat cap eating a Yorkshire pudding. You know, not playing on stereotypes at all, subtle, nuanced... 😉

AI slop, fantasised version of Aire Park development in Leeds showing that some Generative AI has a long way to go in mixing fantasy with widely available imagery of real places!!!

A rich man sits atop the last remaining piece of land only just poking out of an endless sea. The last tree on it is dying. He is surrounded by bags of gold coins. A storm is raging. He looks distraught as he repeats the mantra "trans rights are human rights". He has saved his money, but the world is lost.

When Stanley Ipkiss first put on #TheMask he could never have imagined it would lead to him demolishing #TheWhiteHouse and winning the Ig Nobel Prize!

Priceless diamond jewellry stolen in an audacious daytime raid at the #Louvre
This is the only published photo from the active police investigation.
Speculation falls on The Phantom, but as the glove in the picture is not to scale, they are also looking at OJ...

Today marks the 27th anniversary of the tragic death of openly gay student Matthew Shepard, in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming USA.

His horrific murder by 2 local men of similar age was rightly determined a hate crime and precipitated a change in US federal law.

Black and white photograph of university of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard who died 27 years ago today. An openly gay man, he was the victim of a hate crime which was the subject of huge media attention across the USA. His horrific murder caused a change in hate-crime laws in the USA to include crimes motivated by a victim's actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. The story is compassionately told in the stage play The Laramie Project based on the collected testimonies of over 200 people interviewed in and around his hometown of Laramie, Wyoming and Colorado where he was cared for in the final days before his untimely death.

Has the BBC just been nobbled as it reached the conclusion of its "undercover in the police" expose?
Break in transmission 10 mins before the end, apology notice, returned briefly, broke again, another apology notice and then finished 3 minutes before scheduled... 🤔
