Roving Desert Whales
Episode 2: Let’s generate an image!
I asked an AI to draw “a whale running through the desert.” 🐋🏜️
The result? Pretty good… but not quite what I imagined.
Episode 2 of WonderStack is about the joy (and cost!) of nudging AI toward the picture in your head — and asking, is this creativity?

I agree that your concerns are utterly valid. I have no evidence to counter your claims. These are issues that users will need to concern themselves with if they choose to use the AI as more than a tool for inspiration. I'll point out this concern in another "aside" later this week. Thanks!

Vampire Trees!
Daily Tech and Science #-1401
🌲🧛♂️ In the depths of California’s redwood forests, ghostly white trees lurk in the shadows. They don’t make their own food. Instead, they steal from their towering kin—like vampires of the plant world.
