This is the most fun I’ve had with selfies in a long time❤️

I think that when people jokingly wonder where their flying cars are, the takeaway isn't that we haven't advanced to flying cars and what is wrong with us for not doing so, but rather that we have advanced in ways that, as children, we (or the Jetsons) hadn't thought of. Case in point: I don't know that, at least when I was a kid in the 1970s, people spent a lot of time imagining something like ChatGPT. I know that there's worry that AI will take human creative jobs, however I am not so worried. It may be useful for brainstorming new idiom and imagery, but the human brain is the human brain, and I think we know its output when we see it. If you can relax into this app, then, you can have fun with it. At the very least, you can laugh at its attempts to be poetic. I fed a picture of my granddaughter holding an ice cream cone with chocolate ice cream, and that ice cream smudged around her mouth, and this is what it gave me: In a room with light aglow, A child with ice cream, face in tow, Chocolate smudges, a joyful mess, In sweet delight, her world’s caress. Now my brain wants an equilibrium engine version of this app, where I can feed in its poem and it will draw me a picture. I really want to see what "a child with ice cream, face in tow" would look like. The options my brain is conjuring are surreal to say the least.
