AI for the fail…

37 Comments

Have you seen the new AI tool on Facebook that turns your photos into cartoons? Knowing my distaste for all intelligence that’s artificial … you can guess how thrilled I was at my results.

First up?

A woodchuck.

.

.

Which morphed into … what is that, an extremely happy dire wolf ?

Next I tried Lord Dudley Mountcatten. I figured that wouldn’t be difficult.

He only has two colors.

.

.

Umm… no. Not even close. And is that a dismembered tail to the right?

Tired of animals, I tried people.

.

.

Well, they nailed the cleavage… but my cartoon GI Joe-like husband looks as if he wants to strangle me.

.

.

I could live with this version of myself. At least her face is thinner.

.

.

But how did they manage to turn my big smile into a scowl here?

Not overly impressed, I tried one more photo.

And had my biggest laugh.

Not only did they turn me from a brunette into a blonde…

.

.

But what the Hell happened to my husband?

Worst. Cartoon. Likeness. Ever!

🤣🤣🤣

This first story is my worst nightmare come to life.

.

No.

Thank.

You!

.

.

Nope.

Not this chick.

.

We’ve had a banner batch of Baltimore Orioles this year.

.

.

They disappear when the temperatures rise but a cool spring has made for beautiful bursts of backyard color.

.

.

Ordering a drink with that name is not my idea of spreading love.

.

.

A rare bird sighting at Casa River.

.

.

A gorgeous Scarlet Bunting.

❤️

I don’t need to know anything, and certainly not five things.

This makes me very glad I’m old (er) and not actively dating.

We’ll start with Lord Dudley Mountcatten because he always makes me smile.

.

.

Kristi however, does not.

.

.

I hate everything about Crocs.

The look, the feel…

.

.

And I’d venture to say that cat agrees.

.

.

Funny image, but the AI comments on the bottom are priceless.

.

.

His Lordship attempting to climb into the fox food bag.

Worst. Cocktail. Name.

Ever.

.

.

Worst president.

Ever.

Be careful.

My loyal readers are well aware of my dislike of the growing AI trend. And while I agree it may be helpful in certain applications, I fear we set it free among the general public at our peril.

So in that curmudgeon spirit, I’m just going to drop this article here in case anyone is interested.

Moral of the story?

Keep talking to your toaster, it’s safer.

AI for the win. Or not…

I have a gin rummy app on my phone.

If I want to play that game I have to do it there…. because I beat my husband too often and he’ll only sit down for a game with me if the power goes out and he’s desperate for entertainment.

I have it set it on the most difficult level and beating the computer is challenging. Until the other day when it declared me the winner…

.

.

Though I clearly was not.

It’s probably all useless these days, but mine is extra ridiculous.

.

.

Ever had a dog hump your leg?

Imagine if it was an eight foot, 275 pound ostrich. Not so cute anymore.

.

.

I’d buy that.

.

.

Note to self – do not update to iOS 18.

.

.

I’ve been touting hydrogen fuel for years.

I also announce “cow!” whenever we pass one on a road trip.

It’s a perfect combination.

.

.

Is it me… or does AI seem a little too interested in sex lately?

.

Still here.

Still useless.

Proof positive people will buy anything.

.

.

Yeah, it’s always the last place you look.

.

.

Because we all need another one of those.

🥴

.

.

Yikes.

For once I’m glad my plumbing is female.

.

.

Because we keep voting for them, that’s why.

But seriously, the creature can live without its head for 30 days. You have to admit, that’s impressive.

An AI triumph.

A few days ago I posted pictures of a starling riding around on momma chuck.

They were so cute I posted them on a Maine wildlife Facebook page as well .

.

.

Lots of people liked them and left nice comments.

But then Facebook’s AI had to jump in, with its strikingly accurate portrayal of what it was seeing.

.

.

Duck.

Chuck.

It was close… and hey, at least they rhyme.

🤣

Mount Erebus in Antarctica. We have a friend who was stationed there in the Navy. Better bring a coat.

.

.

You mean Pink Floyd lied to us all this time….

🥺

.

.

I have to admit even I’d never heard of this one.

.

.

Maybe that 38 year old should hook up with the mid 20’s woman. No memory, no foul.

.

.

Worst.

Tattoos.

Ever…..

.

.

This is disturbing in so many ways.

There’s nothing in the world I’d rather do than have one more conversation with my late father. But a creepy AI version? No thank you.

Or as Robin so succinctly put it…
