“Memory is comprised of images”, he said, “the text you read are shapes and pictures to be retained and recognised”.
Well, no wonder that audio-visual forms are preferred everywhere, and AI can generate images, if we feed it with the right words as prompts.
What flummoxes me totally is catering to the kinesthetics in the days of online interactions, since they need to touch and feel things to complete the experience.
My favoured online shopping sites are opening stores in select cities, and now I understand why. It takes time and money to cater to all types.
It also takes a lot of patience to interact with someone who’s not your type.
My earliest memory of spotless beauty is that of a 40+, regal-looking woman in a lemon-yellow chiffon saree, accompanied by a German Shepherd and an army guy walking a few steps behind. I guess she was the wife of a senior army officer. The word that came to mind was ‘traffic-stopper’ as she ambled through a very busy marketplace in Pune.
Years later, I tried to recreate the magic and AI gave me this image, which I’ve used as a cover Pic here. Well, it’s not quite the same, but yet …

“…patience to interact with someone who’s not your type”
probably the most difficult task before people, once they’ve learned to walk and speak their native language

You: “a 40+ … woman … accompanied by a German Shepherd…”
AI: Okay… a YOUNG woman with BULLdog… got it!
The image is definitely not quite the same, lol.

It does take patience, sometimes a painful kind.
Spotless beauty- I’ll have to think about that one

I don’t think I have encountered spotless beauty. Maybe the problem is that for me, perfection itself is a flaw.

I don’t trust AI, because someone has to make the instructions.

And then the software is not always perfect. So many writers are complaining about their content showing as machine generated when it is not.

That would be annoying, I just think, as writers we need to write ourselves. I find predictive text annoying too.

Yikes. This is why the writers strike in Hollywood is so important; they are addressing AI issues.

speaking as a writer-by-choice* I must assume that some are reconciled to have whatever pleasure accompanied the process of creating/writing leach away in the most inglorious manner possible… the god of convenience is very much a selfish god
*as opposed to writer-by-profession lol

Oh, yeah … the contrast between her beauty and her companions attracted attention. And then that leisurely pace in a crowded market. It also matters that it was not a young girl, but a mature woman.
