Trying to make a picture worth a thousand words
I generated the above picture with Dall-E and I really like it.
It isn’t particularly faithful to the prompt and was entirely inappropriate as cover art for the article I was working on, but that doesn’t change the fact that I like it a lot more than any other pictures I generated that day.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I figured I should be able to generate a thousand-word article from it.
I asked ChatGPT for ideas and outlines for articles that would complement the image. Many of them were articles that I would want to read. Unfortunately, none of them were articles that I was qualified to write.
Well, that’s not quite true. It suggested several good ideas for articles on how to incorporate AI into storytelling with data, which I may, in fact, write.
The problem is that I would instead use a relevant data-centric picture for any of those writings.
So, I didn’t get a usable idea, and I am well short of a thousand words.
But I did use the picture.
