Aral Balkan on Nostr: I don’t understand why we must spend billions of dollars and waste so much water ...
I don’t understand why we must spend billions of dollars and waste so much water for AI.
I just created an “AI-generated image” from the original using a few dabs of the retouch tool in the Photos app.
Might have taken a sip of water afterwards but that was it.
(Is there a word/phrase for taking a regular image and making it look like it was AI generated? There should be.)
