I have, as you have recently seen, been working on a new iteration of myself to put into pictures to reflect the recent, slightly more personal accounts of me in France. I made a fair struggle of aging myself properly and thinning my hair to the appropriate level, but the tool we call AI is very much a creature of the Internet, and as such, pulls from a flattering view of the world. That is, it does up until the sudden point that it becomes rather brutal and ugly. AI, like the Internet itself, doesn't exactly do "realism". It does worse than real, and prettier than real, and hopes you'll do the mixing to real in your own brain.
Good luck with that, world.
Ooops, drifted into a lecture there.
Anyway, here I am around town, looking just a bit better than I probably do, but hopefully close enough to be recognizable. The town is as I photographed for the most part, so the realism of it is wholly on me.

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
