First the obligatory notice: The speaker in the video below cusses a lot (nearly punctuates his sentences with it), so if that is going to bother you then consider this journal entry as marked "contains mature content" and go watch something else.
There are so many ways to say this, but Mr. Pie has nailed it down so well:

More AI doodling...
Continuing my experiments to see what comes of asking an AI engine to make an image in the style of someone else... Mona Lisa in the style of Piet Mondrian. Not quite what I was expecting; I was thinking it would render the general portrait in a bunch of squares/oblongs, sort of like a mosaic. Even this: falls rather short of what I was hoping would result. It's not nearly as abstract as it should be, IMO. But asking AI to make the Mona Lisa over in the style of Jackson Pollock was even more disappointing: the background may well resemble some of Pollock's work, but, again, the result was not nearly as abstract as it should be to actually fulfill the request. The synthesis between the original portrait and the requested style is, at best, incomplete. But then, maybe that's kinda the point. AI image generators don't really do abstractions, and they really don't "understand" the request; they synthesize an image based on whatever training set they had.
A question
Here's a piece of weirdness for you: a guy seems to think it's appropriate to go up to a stranger from behind, put his hand on her shoulder, and then say "thank you, ma'am, for wearing your hair the way it should be". WTF?? Do I really have to shave my head again just so I can buy groceries in peace?
random musing of the day
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the attitude toward medicinal herbs is that they are strong food and that food is weak/mild medicine. Which got me to thinking of the relationship between clothes and armor. Does it make sense to think of clothes as a form of armor? Relatively lightweight armor, to be sure, and designed more as a protection against sun/cold/heat/rain/wind than against arrows and bullets.
M3GAN
After having the trailer for the movie M3GAN pushed in front of my face countless times and after watching a few clips of it online it has occurred to me that the whole problem with creating an AI to protect someone from feeling lonely is the premise that being alone is such a catastrophe. Yes, feeling lonely sucks. But it's not a catastrophe. And there are far worse possibilities.
