    The inspiration — Exploring the World of AI-Generated Artwork: My Journey in the ‘Fan Of…’ Challenge

    My wife, Susan, recently used a function within the paid version of ChatGPT called Hot Mods (to help mock up cover designs for the book she’s currently working on) to enhance one of her pictures of the Kelpies.

    To learn more about ChatGPT & the use of AI as a writing assistant, have a read of this awesome post by Susan: Revolutionising Writing with AI: My Journey Begins. In her post she describes how AI has allowed her to work whilst suffering from CRPS, & how she has engineered ChatGPT to work as her assistant.

    Below is her original shot & the subsequent re-imagining based on her prompts.

    This week’s Fan Of… is frosty leafs. I spotted these in the carpark on the way to work on a cold morning. The humidity was relatively high, so ice crystals had formed on the leafs. I used my phone inverted at ground level for a unique perspective.

    Perpetual Calendar

    This week’s Fan Of… is Our new perpetual calendar. A perpetual calendar is one where you can change the month & dates; they come in many different forms. Our old one was a cardboard flip calendar where you just turned over the month & date as required. We recently saw this wee gem whilst out shopping & had to buy it. It features an adult bear & their cub. The months are etched into wooden strips & the numbers onto wooden blocks.
