And having been barraged every time I sign in with warnings to update my version of Joomla!,I finally did. 

Here it is. 

Yeah, I'm liking the lines, but there's some issues and I wouldn't define this as a "seamless migration", although I did ignore plenty of warnings...

Over time it will come back. Not the same, a little bit different, who knows, better even.

Meanwhile, thought I'd ask the question, I was curious if these AI Image generators actually target the audience making the request. 

Chat GPT says no. What it means to say is "Not Yet".

I have a question regarding the Dall-E branch of Chat GPT. I'm wondering, when people ask for an image that involves people, are the people drawn according to the fashion of where they are from? For example, if somebody from China asked for a picture of a "Group of people Praying" would they be given a picture of Asian People praying? Or would they have to specify? Or, to rephrase, does Dall-E tailor the results it delivers based on the geographic regions of the people asking the questions?

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, DALL-E, developed by OpenAI, is a generative model for creating images from textual descriptions. It does not inherently have the capability to tailor results based on the geographic regions of people asking questions. DALL-E generates images based on the textual input provided to it, and the output is not inherently influenced by the geographical origin of the user. 

The model generates images based on the textual prompt it receives, and it doesn't have inherent knowledge of cultural or regional specifics unless explicitly mentioned in the prompt. If a user wants an image of a "Group of people praying," the generated image would be based on the model's understanding of that description, and it might not take into account specific cultural or regional details unless explicitly specified in the prompt.

It's essential to note that developments in AI models and technologies can occur, and there might be updates or new versions of models after my last update. It's advisable to check the latest documentation or announcements from OpenAI for any changes or new features in DALL-E or other related models.

So, presumably somewhere out there there's somebody that really likes: Puppies, Korean Flight Crews, Muddy Fields, Dirty Knees, Jesus, More Puppies, and Planes. Not necessarily in that order.

None of it good, but some of it entertaining. I'm just screenshotting it as it comes up, there are too many similar feeds on my Facebook.

Now, the "Account" I pulled this one from was "Colorado Geology", so - naturally of interest to me. 

But, unfortunately, that crystal beach doesn't exist, never did, and if it did it sure in the hell wouldn't be in Colorado with that Ocean right behind it...

I mean, I've been missing the days of quality journalism, Facebook, CNN, BBC, they can't deliver. 

And I hearken back to the good 'ole days of Ed Anger and the "Weekly World News", which, for the time, seemed rather low-brow, all those aliens, Bat-Boy and Elvis sightings, and who would have thought the day would come when his views would be considered laughably "centrist".

This should be on a Tee Shirt. "I miss the compassionately informed reason and morality of Ed Anger". Or "I'm still mourning the death of quality, well balanced journalism" on a page-header with Bat-Boy or Elvis or maybe even Donald Trump.

Anyways, that's where we are at the moment.
