Congratulations and Thank you to @magistros whos is undoubtedly the outright winner.
Been watching the Jerry Springer reruns so here is my final thought:
(Copied from another one of my posts on FB on the subject of AI:)
Looking at history, when the Gutenberg press was invented, how did the monks responsible for transcribing bibles and literature feel, that they no longer needed to transcribe by hand? Then we have various types of presses, that allowed colour such as Intaglio screen printing etc. then we had computers and microsoft paint, basically AI is just an extension of the evolution of reproduction, so long as It is cheaper and faster, it's here to stay. Sadly the world is ruled by accountants. In my opinion at the moment AI art doesn't have the same soul as Human art. Any one who has eaten fruit from the plant, as opposed to a supermarket, or watched a live performance as opposed to a video will probably know the thrill of fresh and live. I fear that future generations will not now this thrill, and the names of artists used as the basis of AI will be lost. A few years ago my niece commented on a piece of music and I mentioned that it is using a sampled piece from another musician, to her only the recent piece was original. "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain" (Blade Runner, 1982)
Again Thank you everyone. I look forward to the next challenge, whatever form it takes.
