Thank you for your legwork! I recently experimented with AI generated images and was scandalized at the rubbish generated. BetterimagesofAI seems hopeful. Thanks again!

An absolutely fascinating post, Terry, and showing such diverse results. Poor Willow being animated upside down....! Have you come across Midjourney? I've seen it used in photography circles. I don't have much experience at all in using AI tools, but from what I've seen it's rather better than Substack's own image generator.

Really liked your Perplexity profile. 😁

Thank you for a really great read - I've learned so much, and will be looking at it again in the future. 🙌

This is incredibly useful! I'm saving it for when I'm back in the classroom next year. So great.

Now - you don't have to take my advice and I know you won't if you don't want to 🤣 - but I want to add that this article is ripe for sharing and may benefit from lack of paywall? I, for one, would readily share it on LinkedIn and in my other teacher groups I am a part of. It could even go viral...

4 hours of research. Even if it remains for your paid subs, never fear it will be useful for us!

Wow, what a fantastic resource, Terry. I didn't know of most of these! It's crazy how rapidly the field has evolved this year.

(Also, I seem to have access to ChatGPT and DALL-E without paying ... 🤷‍♂️ The latter via my personal email that's linked to my Microsoft account and the former I just signed up for on their website about six months ago.)

I’m definitely ‘getting my money’s worth’ on this post. I’ve just finished rereading it for a third time. Very interesting though as usual some bits of AI-generated work are hilarious and some are definitely disturbing. Thanks so much for doing the legwork for us. It’s appreciated.

OMG….!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your time Professor Freedman. A fascinating collection of… stuff. I can certainly see which software versions I WON’T be using! I started off cackling, then got horrified, then … well, a real roller coaster of emotions anyway. The forehead hat brim! The weird hands and eyes (I’m amazed how good some of your results actually were!)

I’m always terrified of seeing myself in one of these created beings. Now that you’ve fed yourself into the machinery you may well find yourself popping up in all sorts of places. Shudder.

A fascinating exploration. Thank you for your time and work.
