[If I hear the words “”AI” and “existential” used in the same sentence again, I’m going to … going to … something. Remember when Google first came around, and we started hearing “search” for the first time? Same thing. Deja vu all over again. AI is search on steroids. When SB Greg and I were looking for a visual image to use with our musical extravaganza Old Rockers, we sought an appropriate visual image and came up with the notion of an electric guitar in a rocking chair. Here’s what AI was able to spit out in a matter of moments. SB SM]
It’s 8:09 am, and I promised SB Sandy that I’d pick raspberries with her this morning. AI search for “electric guitar in rocking chair”
Let’s try that one again.
Now, let’s try “rocking chair with electric guitar”
And again … What’s up with that stray rocker in the middle?
Maybe third time is the charm.
I wonder why this rocking chair has only one arm. Could it be to accommodate a right-handed guitarist? Let’s switch it up a little and ask AI “Aging rock star”? Voila …
I love the expression on this old dude’s face. Take 2:
I think I know this guy!
Next, I asked for an image of a “washed-up rock and roller”
Is this a Salvador Dali original? Let’s bring AI into The Jungle with a search for “Silverbacks Greg and Step.” That’s Greg on the left.
Now, let’s go one step farther with Silverbacks Greg and Step with electric guitars:
Work! Work! Work! Work! It’s now 8:27 am, and I have to go pick raspberries! But first … what happens if I search on our real names, Greg Morrison and Step Morris?
Ha-ha. Now, let’s try “Greg Morrison and Step Morris Old Rockers”?
It’s the poor man’s ZZ Top. Dude on the right looks like he was sitting on a stool that got air-brushed out from under him.
Ok, now it’s 8:32, and I still haven’t picked any raspberries. Got to get them before the bees do.
AI has barely begun to show what it can do. The current political campaign will be so full of credible falsehoods. Charisma and style likely to determine who wins.
Politics is becoming who’s best at theatrics
