I woke up last night at about 12:30 AM, clean and sober, as it were, and realized I was done with AI work for a while. It has been an intense experience; looking at all my old files in a fresh light, I revisited my past anew, after tucking it away for a good bit and not wishing to disturb it. It rushed upon me in an overwhelming wave; much of my regular life was swept aside, only just barely able to keep up with cooking meals and taking medicine. Only about a third of what I did is here on the Niche, and you can see what a lot that is. So today I've buckled down to try to take care of business in a timely manner. As I parting shot I tried to do one last enhancement, of an illustration from The Nip and Tuck War, of King Boldo confronting a fake dragon (you can see the human legs under the costume). ChatGPT baulked; it couldn't get its mechanical mind around the concept, explain as I might. Sometimes I feel that it is all too true: Artifial Intelligence is Genuine Stupidity. Anyway, it's as good a sign as any to take a break. I might tinker a bit with what I already have; in the meantime, to coin a phrase, "it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." Time to try to get some work done.
