The surest way to be unique, is to control the idea and the output.


The selfsame reason I have my hired creatives start with pen and paper for concepts, is so they are running the ideas, not the filters and apabilities of the software. If I want a specific style, added attribute, defined color palette - it is because I asked for it. It is no longer an overzealous designer, but one who is following MY dictates. It does not add curlicues where they were not requested. Some do not because the whiz bang is not inherent in the render. I can no longer assume it will be expressed the same way… we have a new thing to contend with - creatively.Īdditionally… I like it. I like it, but it is different how it comes out of the box. Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected. The character count remains the same valid number of words, but now you have to be MORE specific with your ‘words chosen’ for developing more intricate descriptions, and it can be random on which terms it decides to avoid in the render. Join Facebook to connect with Brian Teaster and others you may know. The challenge I discover in this, is not a lack of creative expression, but a diminished space to “put in your request”…. It is still capable of great and significant creative expression, but it waits on you to tell it what that should look like. I believe what we are seeing is a version with less overreach. I am sharing my response to Tridib, and adding more considerations. I spoke into this space on his post and felt what I shared there could be an asset of consideration to the rest of the AI community. I can’t do anything to change the weather, so I’ll take anything I can get to ward off the winter blues.Tridib Ghosh and many others have expressed concern around the updates to Midjourney V5. Planning our garden and dreaming of warmer days won’t make winter end any sooner, but it does lift my spirits as I endure these waning (I hope) days of cold and snowy weather. While I would prefer switching up the flowers in that yard, I’m grateful that we found something that the bunnies don’t like, so I won’t test my luck.īesides the flowers that will decorate our yard, I also will plant a few rows in the garden that I can cut for bouquets gladiolas, zinnias and sunflowers are a beautiful way to brighten up the indoors and bring cheer to the friends and family with whom I share them. If there’s anything more disheartening than an endless winter that delays planting, it’s finally getting the seeds or plants in the ground then having them gobbled up by wildlife.

We will plant marigolds in our side yard as we have in the past because through trial and error we’ve learned that the bunnies don’t like them. The latter will frustrate me and like every other year, I’ll say that “next year,” I’m going to cut down on the size of the garden and plant fewer seeds. I know that history is on our side, and that despite the woeful weather, spring will arrive and the fruits, vegetables and weeds in the garden will thrive. We will likely have to take off our jackets because the sun beating down on our backs will make us uncomfortably warm.ĭuring these days when more snow falls than melts and the temperature stubbornly fails to rise much above freezing, I hold those thoughts and I plan what I am going to plant in the garden space that has grown hundreds of fruits and vegetables during the past 112 years. Within the next two months, and possibly the next six weeks, my husband, Brian, and I, will be kneeling in the soil, dropping seeds in furrows. With 2 feet of snow covering our farmstead yards and 10 feet of it piled on either side of our gravel roads, it is hard to imagine that gardening season is drawing ever closer.
