Indeed. I see.

As a side note : That reminds me of the meta ray ban interactive AI glasses. People take of the glasses but the glasses keeps recording video and audio. And the subcontractor SAMA assesses the adio and video recordings. Sometimes people go to the bathroom or have sex or other personal stuff. And the meta ai glasses records it all !

She Came Out of the Bathroom Naked, Employee Says

Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.

www.svd.se

There are a lot of initiatives to help the people in the continent Africa develop the countries by fighting poverty. And the digital world is easier to learn and easier to create a business in comparison to setting up factories for labor work. Sama is a great example as an initiative but they do get to see our "personal" stuff.

Here's a to-me novel take on AI, where it is, where it's going. Whatcha think???

Rick Beato, he's DEEEP into music, which is an understatement.

I've gotten great results with virtual photoshoots from real photography sessions using Nano Banana. Seedream 5 Lite is out & is pretty good at image generation, but I think Seedream 4.5 is still THE best for from-scratch realistic generation. The combination of all three is getting pretty good! I'd LOVE to see some old CGI cutscenes & "vintage" CGI movies remastered with modern workflows!

From 2001's "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within":

Dragonball Z:

Bit more cartoony Dragonball:





Princess Zelda:



It can copy my technical-pen art style pretty well. Not as good as Midjourney, but Nano Banana Pro & Seedream 4.5 can replicate my Micron lineart surprisingly decently! This theme was a detective-style team-up with Catwoman & Batman to hunt Venom in Gotham with some key color accents:







I don't usually do pop-art style, but I sometimes like clean inks with a bit of color. MJ:



Spidey-Gwen:



Nano Banana 2 photorealism:



Seedream 4.5 photorealism. This is pretty cool because I was able to specify a 185mm macro lens:
