AI in Spanish

 

There isn't much to say about today; I worked from home, went to Adoration, watched a Zoom show about shenaniganators, and led Night Prayer. But I do have some recent photos. First is an image I had Chat GPT draw of the last peaceful moment of my previous life.


Today I wanted to see if Chat GPT could understand Spanish, so I asked it to draw an orange box. (Oddly, I felt compelled to ask it with a formal rather than an informal command - it would be interesting to do a study on this! It's not a grammatical factor in English, but you could see if people use polite terms like "please.") It asked me in Spanish if I wanted it realistic, or cartoon style, or something else, which it has never asked me in English, so I said cartoon style. Then it got very effusive, with lots of exclamation points (some of them upside down), saying I would just love what I created for it, and it was so happy to do it. It's never done that in English! Then it said I needed to sign in. I thought I had been, but I did sign in... and then I lost the whole conversation, so never mind. You don't really need to see a cartoon orange box anyway, do you?

Next is a stuffed black jaguar Travalon got. He calls him Jaco, which is pronounced like Jocko.


These are the crystals we got at the crystal store party a couple of weeks ago.


This morning Travalon and I went down to the dock, and we saw Tux Duck hanging out with the blue-winged teals. His lady love was not in sight - maybe sitting on a nest?







Tux Duck is a bibbed mallard, and he is the size of an average mallard duck. You can see how much larger he is than the little teals. Wood ducks would be even smaller, and buffleheads are the smallest of all the ducks we regularly see off our dock. The northern shovelers are about the same size as the mallards. For big ducks, you can hardly beat those Muscovy ducks we saw down in Florida - those things are huge! But they never come this far north. And loons are bigger than any of them.
