Lenovo’s latest ThinkPad Z13 includes a lid made entirely of flaxseeds And to be fair, it’s always learning, and Adobe has a button that asks if you’re happy with the edits the Neural Filter applied.ĪI is making a long-running scam even more effective

I have no idea what I did to make it so angry. But in this case, Adobe’s was fed a 45-year-old who’s in as good a shape as he’s been since high school. It’s easy to poke fun at the responses large language models give when you feed it nonsense in the first place. And let’s not even start on the pirate eye. They really do not appear to have only seen the inside of a dentist’s office by accident because it was next door to a pawn shop. My chompers do not look as if they’ve been on the losing side of the war against drugs for just a little too long. This really should go without saying, but they do not look like that.

It’s good practice for shooting and editing, if nothing else, and it’s good to have some decent pictures laying around just in case I get hit by a bus.Īnd I was pretty happy with my latest attempt.
