@mybirdcards "Source: Gemini 3 (Edited)". Does this mean it's AI?

[mybirdcards@mastodon.world]

@dusepo Yes, but we have a real bod (https://mastodon.world/@timhopper) check, and make edits if necessary, to make sure all appears correct. We could just not mention this, but we like to be upfront. There's no way we could manage without. Maybe in time we could employ someone, but certainly not presently, as we are still very much in the red with our finances. We like to think that this is the appropriate way to use ai.

@mybirdcards Interesting. Thanks for being transparent and open about it.

@dusepo @mybirdcards Thanks, Jo. I'm as worried as the next person over the full implications of AI, and how fast it's being rolled out, but this would be pretty low-energy use, I think. Using it for making pictures would be the real sink, I reckon, and that's something I'm never going to do (however much it asks!) I learned yesterday that simply "Googling" something these days uses AI ‍️
