I do not know much about why AI programs are considered to be so valuable. But I have been using them recently mostly for fun, but also for setting up my low budget “home lab” server project.
Grok and and ChatGP are especially helpful when you want to accomplish something using the command line in various Linux distributions or doing work with Docker Desktop. You can copy and paste commands directly into your Linux terminal and it saves a lot of time.
But I have had a lot of fun with video and image creation and music generation. I have a couple of scratch pad rudimentary WordPress sites up that I share with my friends and family. They are completely and totally just for fun.
Here is one with music and images dedicated to our big, long haired ginger cat, Teddy
Here is another with moving images made from old black and white photos of our family. There are also the historical figures Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln who have been brought back to life. And of course there are some cartoon short clips from AI generated images. There is a warning that comes up on some browsers next to the https address that says the site is “not secure” because of the media player I am currently using with it.
I couldn’t care less if people look them over or not, but some people find them amusing.
This image appears to strongly resemble every AI image at the top of all the stories written by AI. They all look like this.
Is this even a real person? Have doubts. Ten billion dollars freshly laundered maybe . . . Hmm.
CGI. AI. Hmm.
It’s fake.
Looks that way. Cui Bono? Ten Billion.
The same thing happened the other day with the guy who designed the iPhone, he has a company with no customers no product etc., and they just landed a multi-billion dollar round of funding.
Just boggles the mind.
