What could that be? A witch?

I made the image using Photoshop and the Firefly AI model. I worked on it for several hours. At first I had only unintentionally generated the head. Then I expanded the area step by step and generated new content using magic spells.

I went hiking in the Andes again.

No, I wasn't. I just used Photoshop.🤪

More specifically, the generative AI fill of the latest beta. In the past, you had to laboriously select the motif, research the right background image, consider copyrights, insert it, edit the edges and make many adjustments. Today, all you need is a click and a text prompt. What do you think? 🤔

Now anyone can fake just about anything with ease. Admittedly, a closer look reveals a few discrepancies, but only a few look closely. Influencers no longer need to travel and dating profiles can be so much more interesting! On the other hand, if you want to be creative, a lot of work is saved and you can invest more time in other things. Also, almost everyone is already changing their "landscape" anyway, which others would call a beautiful face (wrinkles are natural and beautiful!).😉

Image 1 was created with the input "Mountain hike in the Andes", Image 2 "Landscape of the 2009 film Land of the Lost", Image 3 "Amazon River" and Image 4 is the original (in my neighborhood).

Authenticity is important to me, which is why I always mention content manipulation or generated representations. Except for the Easter eggs, of course, but nobody discovers them anyway.😄

Maybe I should devote myself more to classical painting again. It's not that easy to fake and you still have to do something.👨‍🎨

Nothing is as constant as eternal change. Perfection is a state that cannot be attained, but must be striven for. Form follows function.

We also had an electronic typewriter, but I liked that more! I wrote a lot of science fiction. If I remember correctly, I was sitting at Spaceship3000 (about a spaceship that stranded millions of years in the past). I enjoyed reading my older brother's Perry Rhodan books, which was very inspiring. Back then, there were only three snowy tv channels and the computer was an old C64. I only knew the internet from television reports. The cell phone was the phone booth at the bus stop. There was nothing bad about that.
