I cannot deny, as annoyed as I may get, that freaking AI is just too good sometime. Below is an image that Google's Nano Banana made. I won't tell you what my prompt was, though perhaps you could guess from reading the way my head has been for the past I don't know how long. My prompt was just a short one sentence; I was only specific in that it has to be watercolour. It's interesting that it chose to represent what I asked this way and it does make me think of the components it put in the image. There was only one edit I asked it to do, which was to remove the text that was initially there because that would be too straightforward on what I asked it to do.
I did then ask it to explain the different components it put in the image and the explanation was interesting too, which again I'm not gonna share here. The whale though, turns out it thought of it in a positive way and that's very interesting. Not that it could read my mind, but once I did do a drawing of a lone tiny boat being tossed around in stormy waves. My drawing wasn't as good as this one, but seeing that boat, I was just ... what a coincidence ... right? It couldn't have scoured this blog (being that Blogger is part of Google) and read that one time I described myself as a boat, right? I'm thinking way too much about this.
Thinking way too much about stuff is what my brain does. I was thinking is it one step forward, two steps back or two steps forward, one step back. For me it feels more like one step forward, two steps back - this is to describe some small moments where I feel like I could do this, it's possible, there's a bit of light - only to be met pretty soon after with me thinking all the wrong things that could happen and how I couldn't really do this afterall. I did the math, it cannot be two steps forward, one step back because that would mean you're moving backwards where it feels like I'm being hurled forward against my wishes or actually whichever way I'm being hurled to. Instead of a gentle whale, I need my inner wolf (on account that my Chinese sign is the dog) to show up and be strong, especially now when I have so much fear. That wolf should exist, right? I don't know maybe it's too beaten down, way too tired to show up. God ... I could only pray that God would help me and cloak me with His protection.
