A SENIOR JOKE

This began as a private joke made by my grandson Antonio about me during one of my many mishaps with my family in NYC, but I can totally see this becoming a regular series: “The misadventures of Señor Citizen” coming to a bookstore and nursery home near you!

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE VS REALITY

 
The real me and my AI self

 

Another version of me and my AI self.


Real images in a collage and the AI version


Real image against the artificially generated one. (Something here seems slightly askew!)



Marilyn and me...real and Manga style.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on building machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intellect, such as reasoning, learning from data, understanding natural language, and making decisions.  In this case, I used Generative AI which consists of systems (like large language models) designed to create new content, such as text, images, or audio, based on patterns learned during training. The result, amazing as it may be, still leaves something to be desired. In none of those AI images do I look like myself but instead, I am depicted as a standard clichéd stereotype nondescript character that could be anyone.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON MY B'DAY!

I celebrated my 75th birthday yesterday and it was a nice and warm feeling to receive so many greetings and congratulations from family and friends. To all of those who remembered me, I say thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to send me a comment. Hope to hear from you again next year...if I make it!

75th BIRTHDAY!

A 75th birthday is widely celebrated as a Diamond Jubilee. It represents a lifetime of strength, wisdom, and resilience. Diamonds are used to symbolize this milestone because the gem is formed under deep pressure and lasts forever, just like the memories created over 75 years. (At least, that's what they say!)
