AI, Hieronymus Bosch and My Diary (March 16)

Today is March 16, 2023, and that's good.














These images were generated on Dreamlike according to my prompts


Respected Watchers have clarified one old rule of Hive: at least half of content in every post must be not only unique, but human-generated as well. I clutched my heart, because now it turns out, that if I want to publish 10 AI-generated pictures, I have to paint 10 more pictures myself. But what if I painted my last picture at the age of four, and its only viewer, a kindergarten teacher, was hospitalized with an acute brain disorder.
The solution was found: I will not paint pictures, I will keep a diary. To read, or not to read, that is your choice, but don't forget the fate of my teacher. He still seems to be in rehab.


Well, March 16, 2023

Could anyone imagine that there are such holidays in the world as "No Selfies Day" and "Lips Appreciation Day", but the most interesting thing is that both of these holidays are celebrated on the same day, today. Lips Appreciation and Selfies Rejection, yes, at the same time. It's like "let's celebrate the day of tea, but without water" or "we have a day of unrestrained sex, but whoever takes off his underpants loses."

But I wanted to write, of course, not about that.
The wave of hate against ChatGPT and autogenerated articles on Hive continues to grow, although until recently it seemed that it had already reached its peak and could not grow further. It is now clear that growth will continue until it turns into a real, without any irony, witch hunt.
What is the characteristic feature of witch hunt? The fact that during this hunt they burn a couple of genuine witches, no more (there are no more of them), and the rest of the executed are just random passers-by who find themselves at the wrong time, in the wrong place. With any round-up, there are more innocent victims than intruders, this is iron law.

And at the same time, this massacre cannot be prevented. If the wind has been rubbing the clouds for a long time, then there will be lightning, this electricity has nowhere else to go, grounding in the sky is not provided. There will be lightning, and it will burn someone, there are no other options.
Well, we'll be watching.

Yes, and lips! I almost forgot. What does it have to do with lips, selfies and all this mutually exclusive nonsense about the holidays? There are a lot of IT-people on Hive, I would venture to suggest that they are in the majority here. Not all of them are programmers, but all kinds of techies, people who are used to automating any process as much as possible, especially one that is not fun. Now the question is: what percentage of Hive users write blogs for money, but not for self-expression or pure art?
Here I am about the same.
