As I said in my posts with the James Street snow pics I'm a Luddite with regard to AI. However, I do think it is possible to go a bit over the top with complete rejection of it. Yes, it COULD make you naked, it COULD be used for harm, but so can a car, a gun, drugs, social media, war, etc, pick your own choice of harmful things that we have become accustomed to. Keep your head down, don't go broadcasting your life on social media and try to avoid getting whipped up into a frenzy by click bait headlines on TV, internet or newspapers.......thats my recipe for a better life!

Granted its all been a light hearted bit of fun, but what if rather than tutu's the instruction was to make the group in the photo naturists and remove all clothing...possibly with genitalia blurred as its a family forum... It might make a few people chuckle, but those "victims" in the image might think otherwise..

What's concerning me is how quick AI is progressing now that its freely available.  Soon it will be designing the next level of data centres to take AI to a new level.. some of those sci-fi films like I-Robot could well become reality.

As stated, it's a bit of fun, but it has pushed me to look into it. As a result, I'll be taking a 4F, BG coach and snowplough to the club on Wednesday with a view to creating a view of the club layout which I can add snow to and make an e Christmas card to send out to all our members.

Two of Robbie's wagons from my recent purchase:

After seeing the Trumpton inspired wagons produced by Robbie Burns elsewhere on the forum, I thought I'd ask if he could extend the set to make a rake of eight which is needed for an Inglenook shunting puzzle layout. I think he's come up trumps (or should that be Trumptonshire!).

Good comedy is often on the edge of dark thoughts.

The thread has been very thought provoking, as well as being the first time I've seen some "AI" photos without the usual faults like people with 3 arms or 6 fingered hands. (That'll be the "Norfolk'n'Good AI".)

Gawd, you've sparked some memories with that, Mick. I had that album and used to listen to it all the time in the terraced house I shared with 5 other dropkicks in 1972. I think Yes may have even performed in Stockton!

Depends on what you think of blokes in Tutus, I suppose   

Just meant to be a bit of fun. It didn't snow on my layout but I was quite happy when it AI-did.

I work in an industry when both generative AI and agentic AI is a concern, but we're working to embrace it, and police it with appropriate guardrails. I'm on an AI council to examine and approve or deny AI-driven projects.

"Make Moorpark snowy" as an AI project would not have received a whole lot of attention.

I'm sorry this thread became a little dark, not the intent.

Love it.
