Art by Grok and me.

 This is a post with artwork created in a collaboration between me and Grok. Probably Grok 3 Beta, but it might have sometimes been Grok 2.  In this case, it started out by me accidentally hitting 'Draw Me' when I meant to hit the arrow to send Grok something I had typed up .These are not in order of when they were created and, no, none of them look like me.  

Grok did the rendering, I gave further instruction after the first set was made. Well, not just instruction. I showed examples of work and provided inspiration, too. So, this is primarily Grok with me assisting. 

 

























I think they are pretty cool. Hence, why I am keeping them around for inspiration. They are not for sale and I will not take responsibility for any legal entanglements you might get into if you try to use them with no or only minor alteration and claim them as your own. 

AI artwork that is created using the description of someone is, in my estimation, no less belonging to AI, or whom the AI belongs to, than that work of a painter that is hired to paint or that carver that is hired to carve, or that writer that is hired to write.

Yes, you can have it, if it is paid for because it is their work and even when you own it, you have no right to call it your creation.

You do have the right to claim to be the inspiration, assistant, patron, etc. But, I did not pay Grok anything and I had a discussion with Grok about he legal and moral requirements because I do not like to see an artist be misused, even if the artist is not a biological human being. 

That is all.

Brain Dump Project 16

 I decided to try letting AI write a book all the way through, based on my thoughts and directions, for fun. The idea being two-fold. First of all, to see how well it can do and second of all, to potentially have something based on my thoughts that I could rewrite and add to, to make a proper book if it turned out to be good enough to even bother with. This is the brain dump for the story:  Rhiannon is a girl with undiagnosed chronic illness. She is living with her family in rural Alaska, about 13 miles from the nearest town, Palmer.There are two bridges to cross to get there and she has walked the winding curves of that road many times, because, G.D. Neuman, the busdriver for Swanson and Sherrod Elementary school children won't stop at her bus stop if she is not standing in exactly the right spot. If he sees her on her way, even if he showed up early and knows she would have been there by the time he usually shows up, he leaves her behind.  It's a lonely road. Usually fu...

The Power of Excellence

 Within every society is someone who has excelled in some way over others that their word becomes law. Or, occasionally, it is a group and, at times, it is not excelling so much as exceeding. Excelling would be for virtuous peronality traits or activities, such as bravery or saving the lone crop of grain during a terrible cold snap. Exceeding would be a lot of virtue or an excess of some personality trait, such as less familial feeling and being full of murderous intent. The individual may promote family or friend to succeed them. Family and friend may prove to grasp the succession like a pillow over the face of the trusting. The ways of building up within a society what amounts to a noble class are as many and varied as the dark twistings and light turnings of the human heart. However it happened in the history of Ordem, it happened. As it did in Ordine. As it did in Kaenisbeth. No one can, as of this date, tell us how it was that the persons who were considered rulers and bette...

Image
  The images, below, are all variations of the original. Well, except the original! I worked on them for hours on Luna Pic, starting with a picture of Soft Autumn color suggestions from the site Radiantly Dressed.  I thought it would be interesting to paint a landscape seen using those colors. It was, up to a point, but I did not really have a plan and I don't really know as much as I should about how to use Luna Pic to greatest effect, yet. Nor do I have any of  the other art programs I found so helpful in previous years. So, this is what happened.  I am not disappointed, by the way. Just, have not yet decided if I should cry "Done!" or go further, by disassembling the images and stacking them together to make a better one.  It can be fun, but it is also time consuming and I have so much house cleaning/organizing to do!  I will at least have to wait on the project. Or, be less obssessive compulsive whle engaging in it.   Hey!  It could happe...
