I have come to love using generative AI just as much as I like to "google" things. I have always had an interest in modern technology; my obsession with modern tech likely began when I watched The Jetsons as a kid and with the movie, Tron. All of that futuristic robotic stuff--it just gets my gears going.

Another childhood joy I'm lucky enough to have experienced is learning basic DOS in the 5th grade. Our teacher, Mr. Smith, used to work at IBM, so he taught us little tykes how to code. That was in 1985!

Nearly 40 years later, we're just now experiencing AI finally going mainstream. Why is time moving so slowly toward the future? I'm ready for my flying cars!

AI PHOTOS ENTERS THE GROUP CHAT...

I got to attend the National Association of Broadcasters national convention in Las Vegas two years ago and was mesmerized by the seminars on generative AI and ways that it will be used in the future.

Recently, I asked AI to create for me some pics of people living in Washington state doing ordinary things, and the results were hilarious--and creepy

AI was able to generate photos like I had never expected. See for yourself!

Well, what did you think? All I can say is that AI sure has a long way to go before it can generate more realistic looking pictures!😂
