Active Rain Homework Assignment 11-4-2025 | Have FUN

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with KD Realty - 408.972.1822 CA DRE#01366594

The instructions were to have FUN ... and I did have Fun.

First, I called Kathy Streib - that was the first order of FUN.

Kathy walked me through GROK, and boom - right before my eyes, the random photo I uploaded started moving. 

I asked Kathy about ChatGPT. While we were on the phone together, I went to the website.  As Kathy and I were chatting (after all, it is in our name), I discovered that we can create an image in ChatGPT by telling it what we want.  

Just playing around, I typed the following prompt:

"Create an image of four women aged 65 and up walking in the rain, holding colorful umbrellas with a sign that says "Singing & Having Fun in the Rain!"

Debe – I now know what you mean about “waiting”.

That created the Feature Photo.  That was more than good enough for me because it worked! 

I then uploaded the Feature Photo to GROK and lo and behold, the women are walking and laughing in the rain ... or as we say, having FUN. 

I noticed the arrow up and the Share icon below the photo.  So I clicked on it.

I was expecting to test the share link by linking it to the photo, yet it does not appear that it is an option. 

Click Share Link to see the GROK photo with movement.  OH, and there is sound too.  I did not ask for that. The sound does not fit the photo. 

Playing around more, (we are supposed to have FUN) I clicked "upscale video" which is found under the ... in the share icon shown above. 

Then I right-clicked on the video and chose "save video as" and it saved as an MP4. 

I uploaded to YouTube and set it as private, and this is what we get - no surprise. 

I am not publishing this.  This is where I say, "That's a Wrap!" 

This is my week six entry to the ActiveRain Tuesday Zoom Challenge hosted by Debe Maxwell, CRS

I admit - it was FUN. We were on the phone Kathy Streib when you heard my reaction in real-time when I saw what GROK did with the photo of the flowers.

Good morning, Kathleen... what a fun image! ChatGPT did well if you got this on the first pass... I use it for photos... and it often takes more than one pass no matter how precise the instructions.

I guess I did get lucky Miss Nina Hollander, Broker - I was surprised.

The four women all look similar - yet for the Assignment, I was okay with it. At least this assignment advanced my AI experience.

Grok is my favorite!  I haven't used AI very often, but I love having Grok for research and as an alternative search to google.  I have seen great things come from Grok Imagine where photos are turned into videos, but I haven't played with it much myself.

Surprisingly, Brian England it was not hard - it creates the video automatically.

Did you hear that in late October, Elon launched Grokipedia

Yes, I am loving the creation of Grokipdedia, although I have yet to use it Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist.  Often when I am researching things using google, Wokepedia articles come up, and I no longer trust anytihng on Wokepedia, haha.  It will be amazing when those articles cease to come up in searches and articles from Grokipedia show up instead.  I actually use Grok to search instead of google.
