  • By working with Midjourney, he adds a human touch to historical storytelling

    What part of the process is the human part? The bit where he asks the climate-destroying computer for a picture of a city he admittedly knows very little about? Or is the human part all of the art and images that were used to create a plagiarised AND inaccurate image of history?

    The guy walks into a historical building, and upon seeing some art, his first response is “I wonder what that art is about, maybe my followers can tell me”. This is the guy who is creating historical images of the city? The guy who only learnt recently that large ships were not historically seen in the harbour? I’ll admit my knowledge of Amsterdam is lacking, but I’m not trying to pass AI slop off as historically accurate representations of the past.

    You want to bring history to life? Ask a historian about the history, and pay an artist to accurately represent the truth.


  • This article reads like a person who thinks they have found the answer, but is still so woefully uninformed.

    The doctor didn’t tell you about the social media apps that your kid was using? It’s not their fault you were inattentive.

    They took their daughter’s phone away twice due to mental health issues, and the plan is to play soccer with her until high school and then give her back the phone. My sibling in Christ, you’ve done nothing to scaffold and support your child’s health after these incidents, but sure, drop her in the deep end with her addictions and mental issues as she enters high school. I’m sure those kids are mature enough to not cause the same problems tenfold.

    The sad fact is that we live in a world that requires the use of technology. In some countries, ICT Capability is a priority across the high school curriculum. Taking the phone away makes her act like your idea of a kid again, sure, but at some point she is going to need to use a phone or a computer or a tablet without you breathing down her neck. We need to be educating our children on safe practices, not taking their phones away and proclaiming to have solved the problem.

    It’s like abstinence only sexual education.
