Apps Away…Accepting AI Art

Apps Away…Accepting AI Art

 

Just having some fun!  In case you missed it, yesterday we had a fun and informative Zoom Meeting about AI.  

 

(Really, if you haven’t attended one, you don’t know what you’re missing. Lots to learn…lots of fun…and a wonderful cast of characters!!!) 

 

Kat DeLong , Carol Williams and I shared examples of how we use AI to generate pictures.

If you want to enhance your posts…here, on your website, or just for fun, photos and graphics are key. Walls of words are never fun to read. 

 

However, it’s often hard to find copyright free works or even your own photos that convey what you want. 

 

I’ve been using Meta AI for no particular reason other than it’s free and easy.

 

Below are two AI-Generated photos using the same prompt…

A realistic picture of a family packing their home for a move. There are moving boxes on the floor in this contemporary family room. The children are packing their toys.


The picture on the left was generated by MetaAI…the one on your right by Microsoft’s Bing Image Creator



And, just for fun, using Meta AI, I animated the picture then converted it to a GIF

 


I also have it on my iPhone. I’ve been able to, for example, create a birthday cake in about 3 minutes that is tailored for that special person, including their name or age. 

AI is a tool and it's fun. Give it a try, if you like.

 

 

 

Our next Zoom call is on Tuesday at 2 PM EST at this link!!!  (yes, this was another shameless plug for our Zoom Calls!)

Hello Kathy - while I haven't attended an AR Zoom meeting, I am well aware of shameless plugs.  After all I have been a member of this community for a while as well as a resident of Planet Earth for a lot longer.    Apps as well as artificial intelligence remain a bit beyond my wheelhouse.

Good morning Kathy,

Yesterday's Zoom meeting was so informative and fun! Thank you for your part in presenting as I've not used Meta AI!! You all did a great job even if at the end my office building had a surge and our Internet went down for 15 minutes!

It really is impressive stuff. I am just not sure I want to put in the time to learn it.

Kathy Streib - sorry I missed it. It sounds like it was a lot of fun and very informative with Kat Palmiotti, Carol Williams, and yourself.

Kathy Streib - snowflakes have landed in Flower Mound. Rooftops are covered, cars are getting covered, and ground has a light covering so far.

That was a fun Zoom call! I was very interested in the animation feature that Kathy covered, and in the ability to plop a blog into ChatGPT and have it come up with suggested graphics. Very neat.

Jan 09, 2025 06:53 AM
Kathy Streib

Kat Palmiotti I learned a lot too. I may have to break down and pay for Chat GPT.

Kathy more and more of the blogs I am reading are incorporating AI photos.  They are here to stay.

George Souto I would rather use my own photos if I can but there are times when AI gives me what I'm looking for.

Hannah Williams it's easy, isn't it!!!!  I still have to look to make sure someone doesn't have 3 hands or too many fingers.

I appreciate the links to META and BING...AI image creations are certainly making my photo editing easier. Although I do find that they are not usually perfect and need a bit of additional editing...I've had to remove a finger or two. LOL

Sharon Tara see...with your creative skills, AI would be like adding another great tool to your box.

Hi Kathy I truly enjoyed the zoom call last Tuesday.  It was awesome and you all made it so much fun.  I've been having a little fun with  AI pics and it's great!

Jan 09, 2025 12:14 PM

Anna "Banana" Kruchten it really is fun!!!  I made a birthday cake for Wayne today using my iPhone and was able to upload it on AR while we drove to walk this morning. It's not that I'm that good...it's that easy.

Kathy Streib  I am late to your post and maybe it is a good thing, personally not a fan of AI all my photos are mine, I took them and I use them... also not a fan of Tik Tok and that goes back to when they started.... and now people are realizing I was right same goes for AI... Endre

Well time will tell, good luck to you, I rather use a so-so picture then a fake one from AI that everyone uses... Each to their own Kathy Streib 

Jan 10, 2025 10:13 PM
Kathy Streib

Endre Barath, Jr. we each have to march to our own drummers. I still use my own photos however when I can't find what I want or need, I like using an AI-generated photo. Some of my pics may not be as clear as I'd like so rather than upload a so-so photo I'd rather use one that will present the professional look I want.
