• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Stable Diffusion
Nice. I have heard good things (and some bad things) about Stable Diffusion. Speaking of AI, some AI can be run privately and locally on computers without needing to connect to a server.

This was me asking the locally installed AI to write a fictional verse about a fast food restaurant. :) It did okay, though not perfectly.

Nice. So, the Stable Diffusion AI can take an image, and make another image from it given a prompt?

Enhance an image… remake it several times differently

Only because everyone does
Yeah. That is true. But hey, at least we both use AI, though I use AI more for Bible analysis, while you use it for art. :) AI is not as bad as some people say it is.

We can’t even explain our existence…

Nice try evolution
Agreed. Or, if the world ends before ASI becomes a thing (unless the beast's in Revelation's image is a form of advanced AI). Anyways, it was nice talking with you sir. I have to sign off soon.
