The Birthday Project
Another hallucination! I was going for a man lying on a couch in the sunshine, with an eye toward telling Dave that we love him even when he's napping, when MidJourney threw me this!
Note the weirdness of the fingers on the hands--a "hallucination" at work! If you ever have any doubt about an AI, look at the hands.
David Hirst is our family's primary volunteer, the one with the largest heart, and for his birthday today, I chose an image reflecting what I believe would be an element of his perfect world: everybody in it has access to music. Happy Birthday, old fellow! In this image, you can see one of the famous "hallucinations" of AI images—the hands are truly awful, too many fingers or too few, and smooth like rubber gloves. Bizarre!

Don't buy anything or leave a message if you want to honor my birthday. Instead, take the time to thank your local librarian for shouldering such a terrible burden these days.

David Beeblebrox is the elder brother of Zaphod and a far, far more dedicated being to the betterment of the galaxy than his worthless siblings. Happy Birthday to his inspiration Dave Hirst! Image Credit: MidJourney and K. Kris Hirst

This is a fairly accurate expression of how I feel these days. We need to break these chowderheads of their damfoolishness! Image Credit: MidJourney, Gimp, the UK government, and K. Kris Hirst

For my birthday, a fond remembrance of the day I got my first library card from my local library, and could read anything I wanted at any time I wanted, free of charge. Happy birthday to that giddy little girl! Image Credit: MidJourney and K. Kris Hirst
