I’m a copy cat and the first to admit it

DianneN @DianneN (249115) • United States 13 Feb

When I go to a “nice” restaurant, the way the meal is presented makes a world of difference unless the food sucks. When we go to Boston, Massachusetts for a long weekend, we always choose this French restaurant for one meal. I...

The last of my Thanksgiving Napkins

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8464) • United States 13 Feb

A week after Thanksgiving, I saw several packs of Thanksgiving napkins at Walmart for 25 cents each, so I bought several packages just to have at my desk, and this is the last one. Do you buy discounted holiday items and use them...

Using AI is more difficult than you might expect

Fleur @Fleura (33966) • United Kingdom 13 Feb

I posted a couple of weeks ago about my first attempt at using AI to generate an image for a birthday card. That was surprisingly successful so I thought I would have another go. This time though is proving much more difficult. I...

Valerie J. Routhieaux Interesting picture. Yes, AI and pictures is not easy. I'm using it for my book covers. So far, I have only one cover that has my spine correct. I know I can get it corrected when I go to publish it. At least I hope so. I won't be using AI for that process.
