She has the right attitude. Thanks for giving me another way to look at AI.

I love this. It’s so easy to spiral into tangents when it comes to research for a story. And even when it’s research based in times we’ve already lived! The idea of using an image to invoke memory and inspire story is something artists have been doing for a long time. I see nothing wrong with using AI to generate the same.

Just last night, as I was discovering more and more about my main character, I found myself spiraling down a rabbit hole of google searches about the early 2000s, about German-American heritage, about urns and coffee and artwork. All things I have first hand experience with, but my mind was so muddled that it felt like nothing was working. It’s incredible to think that AI could help set my head straight. I have to try this. No more mind muddles!

No more mind muddles, but I do love a good rabbit hole.

Wowser! I just got a flash of what Stephen King would do with this memory generator! This is fascinating and scary and intriguing all at the same time. A little like life!

Thanks, Ron. I think it's astoundingly life like, which is why it's so useful.
