7.67/366: let this be a lesson

Before you use AI on something, be sure and look at what you’re posting/sending.

I saw this as a meme on the IG and thought it was funny.

Then I thought for a second and fired up Chat GPT.

I started simply enough: “man plays Duck Hunt game.”

Not exactly what I was looking for. So, I tried “man plays Duck Hunt video game.”

What on earth are those birds? Look closely. That’s nightmare fuel.

Next, I went with “man plays Duck Hunt game in living room.”

I have to admit, this was my favorite. But what is he playing? What is going on?

Then I had an idea: “man plays Duck Hunt video game on television in living room.”

What the hell is this? Is this what the robot overlords think people look like? What’s going on with the faces? Where are the second legs? Is the guy on the left a duck/human hybrid? They’re still not playing a game! And where is the TV I asked for? The ceiling lamp is part duck! Is that a dog crate? So many questions.

What have we learned here today, kids? The robots do not know what Duck Hunt is or really, what a duck or person is, for that matter. Or a TV. My head hurts. I need to turn off my phone.

7.61/366: life update

My doggie, Ellie (Eleanor Rugby), started scratching at her eyes last week, so I called the vet and they told me to use a salve like Neosporin, but not that and to get a cone fit her head. I got donut for her. The donut didn’t stop her from scratching, so we went to the vet this morning.

Now we’re home with antibiotic drops, and another antibiotic in pill form, as well as steroid.

She hates this cone, but this is the first time she’s ever laid in my lap.
