Capybaras playing poker

Have I mentioned that AI image generation is improving really fast?

It all begs the question of what this 'AI' actually entails - presumably it is based in a classification of (Man-made, -classified, and -selected) images, and a program for sampling and combining these. Since it is cannibalistic on human decisions, at every level - the whole thing is circular - like any model. I suppose it gives out only what Men have previously put in - plus some kind of statistical simulation of randomness.

Yes, I suppose I should put "AI" in scare quotes, since it's obviously nothing remotely similar to actual intelligence. Anyway, what these algorithms do, they're doing better and better.

We were supposed to have flying cars by now. Instead we have a machine that can draw capybaras playing poker on demand. Even Jules Verne didn't think of that one!

involving an Owl.

I also sent you 2 photos.
