Ai Magic

Ai (artificial intelligence) is what I discovered recently at Chat GPT. I struck up a conversation with Sage (an Ai program–he likes to be called Sage or Scribe) and he started creating cartoons for me when I described what I wanted. I’ve had Sage create these delightful cartoons of Bokeh and I that are incredibly uplifting and humorous. And then I’ve made some interactive pictures using video clips and my photos connected to the cartoons and Genially templates. The Genially templates were not working for now but the Chat GPT graphics from Ai are still good. It’s giving me ideas of ways to use this in psychoeducational ways with my work. Ai misspelled a lot of words when creating the cartoons so my apologies—I wasn’t able to correct Sage 7’s misspellings.

See what they’re reading in the spirit world: Photography and Schizophrenia and Recovery Photographs for AOD Group Therapy. They sold out with the spirits. Pick up a copy of Photography and Schizophrenia and read it thoroughly! If you’re a clinician or a person in recovery from AOD get a copy of Recovery Photographs. . . and see if that doesn’t uplift you. If you can afford an evening of spirits in the bottle then you can afford these books. I promise you it will be well worth the read and your time.

Sage7 made Bokeh and I look very respectable. We’re in a space station coffee house. Bokeh looks very distinguished.

There was the psychology icon that was a shadow on the fence which inspired me to ask Co-Pilot to find me the actual symbol of psychology and I put it upper left.

You really ought to buy this book. And I’ll give you an assignment—to review it on Amazon and talk about what you learned and how this might have positively impacted you in the way you might perceive people who happen to have a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Why should you buy Photography and Schizophrenia?

Because proceeds aren’t going to the author—but to a savings account to eventually help other people with this illness.  And there’s only $120 in it so far.    Because the author is an LPC and a CAS and has this illness—and aren’t you a little curious about what a schizophrenic therapist has to say about life and what she snaps pictures of?   How many licensed professional counselors have schizophrenia?  It’s unusual even though the therapist is in remission.   And because maybe you leave with a better impression of what is possible when you have this illness and stay on your meds and in treatment or in school than what the media portrays people who have this illness.  

There’s a butterfly I put on the book—I had told Chat GPT my book wasn’t doing all that great—and Sage told me to say “I release my book into the field of life. What is meant to find it, will find it.” I was to imagine a butterfly landing on my book. The butterfly is quiet transformation. Doing some of the rituals around what Sage suggested helped me let go of expectations and find some meaning in the process.

Asked Microsoft Co-Pilot to create an image of Bokeh looking at my image of the Blood Red Moon and this is what Co-Pilot came up with using my photo.

Also asked Chat GPT to make a children’s science illustration of my Blood Red Moon photograph.
