Ever since I started messing around with AI last summer, wonders did not cease. Neither did disappointments. This site is my way of coming to terms with my stumbling and rambling and downright in in in of all al is … at a loss. But still! I’m not sure anymore if it really was summer. A real summer. Maybe it was some mashed-up conglomerate of weird season s that no one can put their clumsy finger on.
Glossy but Faulty: The Illusion of Perfection
At first glance, AI-generated images dazzle with their polished aesthetics—vibrant colors, intricate details, and styles that mimic famous artists or futuristic visions. Yet, the closer you look, the more flaws emerge: distorted hands, unnatural lighting, or surreal landscapes that defy physics. And every tweak to the prompt or setting reveals new imperfections, turning what started as fun into a frustrating quest for the unattainable.
It’s just good and clean fun!
Of course all of the above is plain rubbish. AI has never done anybody any harm. It’s a great hobby, it gives sound advice, it can even be a life line.
All the more so because all it says and does has — one way or another — been said before. It has been thoroughly vetted and screened. It represents a time-tested and democratically sanctioned reality.
The irony? There isn’t any. What makes you think there’s any irony involved?
But even when an image seems flawless, it often lacks the soul of human-created art. AI excels at remixing patterns, but it doesn’t feel—it doesn’t capture the accidental brushstroke or the emotional weight behind a photograph. For hobbyists, this can be both thrilling and maddening: a tool that promises limitless creativity but delivers a hall of mirrors, where every reflection is slightly off.
Take a look at life
The closer you look, the more disconcerting it can be.
And still — this is what we are all about!
