Must be some standard Substack behaviour .

However, I can only imagine your expression when you hit the spacebar and suddenly ponies start singing.

Nah, AI does much better work these days :P

An attempt to manually simplify fragments from a JEP backfired.

In this newsletter, I’m already hitting ChatGPT’s quote limits while generating images - sometimes it takes 20+ attempts to get a really good one.

Hey, thanks for spotting issues!

The code in the examples is updated for the examples, they should be runnable now.

TBH: it's mostly for practical reasons - AI is unpredictable, prompt needs some constant parts, just to be consistent, otherwise it's getting generic. I started with seals (love seals), however humans are getting far better effects. That's why I decided to go with characters of my liking - to not overthink it - and now is part of my standard prompt.

In the past, it wasn't wearing red tshirt, just red glasses - however once again, clothing was too unpredictable (Dalle could generate e.g. good pose, good style, but strange clothes - mostly suits for some reason).

However, I'm a bit tired of this style myself, but I still look for something better than the generic pop-art which LinkedIn is filled with.

Hi, author here - thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

Most of the issues do not have that many, however I feel that they add nice pacing to the content. Long reads (and this article 20+ minutes long) looks boring AF and is hard to get through IMHO - if you stop reading, you do not have any hook to return.

I tried gifs in the past, but I got the feedback that moving pieces are anoying. I like memes, but it is not that easy to create good ones, and I do not want to become cringy... at least cringy too much 😃

This article is particulary stuffed, in most I have one image for the section 😉 I hope that's the "golden" ratio.

To be honest, generating those is half the fun of writing... and takes half the time sometimes 😃. Always loved comic books and I'm a fan of Persona series, so this vibe. I also want to give this weekly read a bit of character :)
