A Courtesy For Those Who Do Not Care About Anything AI related.

Some clarification on my upcoming posts, for the sake of the humanity of it all.

Hi there.

How are you doing?

I have been incredibly busy with work.

Here are a few photos that I took on various nature trips in the recent past.

I know we all have a love of nature in common.

I have mentioned to a few people that I am sending four ai image posts very soon, I have not done that yet. But I shall, very soon.

I have been of two minds about the ai stuff.

There is a lot to be said about that, and a lot of it is disturbing.

Because of that, I do not want to barrage you with ai images….

unless you are interested in seeing them.

I know we are all overwhelmed, overstimulated, and overexposed.

I want to keep my emphasis on nature and my organic, human-driven, human-finished art and my music, which is on the way.

But I find prompting images fun, for the moment.

I may want to keep doing funny stories with them, or stories that are parallel to what happens in this realm.

They could easily become memes or little stories.

I kind of like the idea of turning my eye to short frivolous fictional or truth parallel stories as my future ai prompting stuff.

I would like to take a crack at making a video at some point, soon also.

I am sending this to you rather than sending the four ai-heavy posts.

The purpose of this post is to let you know that they will available be on my stack soon, they are not there yet. They will be there in a matter of days.

I wanted to let you know this way so you can choose whether you look at them or not.

I am giving people the prompts for the last images I have prompted by including the wording for each image so people can see how it is done.

I use Bing Image Creator. It’s “free”, but not “free”.

You must log in to Microsoft to use it.

That’s the price, for the moment.

I always liked drawing and making up stories and coming up with weird random things.

It is like telling yourself a story, or making a prediction, or celebrating a concept, or cementing a lesson visually on any given topic.

You can have an idea, hear about an amazing building, think of a visual concept you have never thought of, or suddenly become interested in some side topic you have never even thought about being interested in before. And this you do all for information’s sake, either to know or to use for prompting images.

That’s my story, anyway. I have learned a lot of different kinds of things in my endeavors.

It is for the love of the enactment of imagination and out of general curiosity that I do it.

I am not “anthropomorphizing” it, as someone once said to me.

I am also not revering it over human artists or natural photographs and human-made digital art and illustration.

The reason that it is so good to begin with is because it draws on the work of previous human artists.

It is a device at the ready, a tool.

How we use it is what determines whether it is good or it is bad.

The problem is that the “powers that be at the top of shit mountain” only seem to have the bad in mind and a good deepfake video can start a war.

So, that is a problem.

Also, I am SURE that they never give us any new tech until they have had use of it fully for at least ten years before sharing it with us. And also, probably, they have much better tools at the ready for their purposes that we don’t get to know anything about.

That is also a problem.

So, I am with you there. Never think I am unaware of these potentialities.

Who knows, though. Maybe someone’s silly ai stories can make someone feel relaxed and soothed by the silliness, this might give them extra power to do the things they must do the next day.

Maybe someone using their intention to prompt the image and then having that thought process solidified into a final image, which they can hold in mind as a keepsake of that intention, helps to further their vision of their intention. That would strengthen them.

Everything we do is multifaceted in the implications our actions have on our lives, on our thought processes, and in other people’s lives. We all affect each other every moment.

Or perhaps the images can be used to deliver messages that are easier for visual learners to see and remember. I am a visual learner, so I will be interested in anything new that is visually oriented, except for VR. I am not putting that thing on my head, ever. I don’t care WHAT I get to see.

Also, I don’t watch TV anymore and I am not very interested in movies either. I might still watch a documentary or perhaps someday, something will be compelling enough to lure me in. But for the moment, I don’t.

So, you prompted ai, what did you get?

Is it an amazing composition that inspires you in some way?

I have had these thoughts;

“This would make a great wedding card.”

“This would make a great Christmas card.”

“This would make a great image for my friends’ website.”

“This would be great as a print for such and such”. etc.

Or:

“I want to add something like that to a painting I have in mind.”

Is it garbage?  (that happens a lot)

Is it funny garbage, because sometimes it’s hilarious.

I also like laughing a lot.

Was it foretelling something or synergistic in some way?

For instance, you are prompting lions when you suddenly realize you are a LEO in sidereal astrology.

You made a few owls and then had a dream about owls which you wrote about later and while you were writing it, part of what happened in your dream happened in real life. (No, my cat didn’t turn into an owl, it was a different part.)

Did you make something that someone synergistically brought up to you a day later, like pink roses and dolphins? I mean, that is a weird combo. That happened.

The Starfire Codes

Did someone tell you that they enjoyed using them for their post and that some of them helped her to decide which direction to go with her presentation? Wow, what an honor.

Tereza Coraggio

All this from prompting an image. It’s more than what it seems in many regards.

Do you learn more about architecture or whatever it is that you have chosen as a subject to prompt?

Is it possible that you may be open to things subconsciously that you don’t normally trigger, but choosing the first random idea that jumps into your head can help you access that less conscious state?

Did you remember a dream better because you tried to describe it with words and by prompting images?

Did you learn to listen more when people start talking about things you know nothing about like African traditional garb?

Did you see a pattern in the mandala behind your eyes after looking at the sun that reminded you of something you prompted with the image creator, more beautiful but still containing that element that caused you to recall the image? Did it make you think more about sacred geometry?

I don’t know what to tell you.

For me, there is more to it than just making cool pictures.

When I see a beautiful flower now, I want to know its name.

I already wanted to know, but now I act if I can, to find out or to save it somewhere in a Word document.

I want to include it.

Then I see it again and it solidifies as “what it is” in my memory, and the next thing you know, this visual learner has learned a lot of new things.

But I would throw it all away in an instant, without further thought, if it would allow us to all be farther away from the out-of-hand aspects of the ai rollout. I would throw it all away if we could be guaranteed to be protected from too much coming at us too fast and from being overrun by it.

If only it could be only good.

I would choose more of a focus on biomimicry to make the “magic happen”, than the tools that seem to be the focus these days. Technology and chemicals are not nearly as good as learning from nature would be.

If I suddenly had to meet some unrealistic expectations to be able to continue logging into Microsoft to use Bing Image Creator, I would not be meeting those expectations. (You should see my password for Microsoft, it’s hilarious, I’ll bet a lot of you have some funny ones)

I would walk away.

To me, prompting Bing Image Creator is like playing a board game, but more satisfying. It is like the “choose your own ending” chapter books I read as a kid. I loved those.

You get to pick how the story ends. Well, in the prompting, you may stumble upon a few that seem to tell a story, and off you go, writing a story. The story is partly led by you, and partly led by what “comes out of the machine.”

There is more going on than meets the eye.

Eventually, I would like to get to sharing

1)    hand-drawn images,

2)    acrylic painted and

3)    Illustrator-created images

4)    with a side of piano playing,

5)    my poetry,

6) my work in the garden,

7) my experiences in nature,

8)    and some silly ai stories because I stumbled upon something I wanted to share and I feel like playing with the image creator.

So, without further ado

I will announce the following:

*sounding horns*

This time, I am not going to send the ai images to your email like I normally do.

I have FOUR, LONG, ai image-riddled posts to share. I am sharing them so that you all may see the methodology I am using to prompt the images I am prompting.

I am demonstrating the language. Take whatever you wish and turn it into whatever you wish.

So, if you want to see the posts they will be arriving soon on my substack and they are going to be called

“AI Images With Prompt Language Included; Prompted in Bing Image Creator”

Subtitle: These Prompts are Good for Bing Image Creator and for the Substack ai image Maker.

They will be on my substack numbered 1-4. I will be publishing them at the end of the week “good Source/God willing the creek don’t rise.” (I should have them done by Sunday evening at the latest.)

I asked my friend/choir director if he had the recordings from the Light the Chalice Podcast we did when we were locked down in 2020.

Unfortunately, the computer the recordings were held in is not working.

It is not looking good for those.

I am moving on from that expectation.

I am planning on recording a few things soon.

I look forward to sharing that part of myself with you all.

Right now, I am working on Rustles of Spring, by Christian Sinding.

I will record that one for you, it will just be my cell phone next to me while I play it on Sunday so I will only get one chance to capture it! Wish me luck.

Thank you for subscribing and for being here.

I love all of the nature lovers out there.

I appreciate you all.

Also, if you want to unsubscribe because you get too many newsletters, go ahead!

Or if you regret signing up because of any of my opinions, be free.

I don’t even get notified when people unsub.

I turned off the notification for when someone unsubs. I highly recommend it. I only see my number of subscribers when I have to, I never check. I wish I could turn that off or hide it so I don’t have to see it. I honestly don’t want to know. I can’t even explain that.

---

I am here to learn. I am here to hold myself accountable. I am here to grow. I am here to meet you all and see what you are working on. I am here for many reasons.

No one owes anyone anything.

I appreciate you all and anyone who wants to come along with me this year, you will see great changes from me.

Meanwhile, I am healing from some things that happened early this year and I am doing a great job with that. It is making me stop and take more time for myself, so my posts will be published slowly. I am giving myself more time for everything. My energies have been split in too many directions for too long.

Also, I have too many jobs. I am trying to cut down on them a bit. That will take a few more months at this point.

I will build momentum and there will be a LOT of activity from me.

This is how I flow; sparse, everything all at once, sparse.

😊

So, do what you need to do, dear reader and friends. You all have important things to do in this world. Your time is valuable. I am honored that you decided to subscribe or to follow me for any reason.

I believe in your dreams too.

A step for me is a step for thee, and the other way around.

Whatever your views, wherever you are, or however you are feeling, I wish you good things.

PEACE
