No Kings!

STEM / STEAM: Artificial Intelligence by Adobe Firefly and Google Gemini

Here is a quick intro to a couple of the latest AI (Artificial Intelligence) apps I’ve started to look at in the past few weeks.

Why am I looking at AI?

I asked Inyoung (2014 scholarship winner) and Yash (2018 scholarship winner) if it might be feasible to embrace AI in the 2024 Carol Phan Memorial College Scholarship application process.

Both said a resounding: YES!

See the Scholarship page here on how we will proceed in 2024.

It could be very interesting.

Adobe Firefly

I played with Firefly by Adobe inputting TEXT to describe a scene that Firefly then drew. Pretty DAMN cool!

Text: older man with glasses and a baseball cap working on an electronic design at his workbench his yellow labrador is sitting on the floor next to him

Me and Blaze 🙂

Text: open book, on a bench, on a snowy day, in the woods, with a coffee mug also on the bench

Text: Santa sitting on a snowy roof reading a book

Another choice since I did not specify if Santa was a man or woman. 🙂

Last, but not least……

Here is a doodle I have been drawing (poorly) my whole life…..

Text: rustic cabin, in the woods, with a winding gravel path to the front door, with flowers on either side of the path, a pond with a dock

That brought my dream doodle to life!

Notice the photographic quality. In the above examples, I chose “Art” rather than “Photographic”.

Wow!

Google Gemini

Introduced just this past week, I am just starting to look at this, and, truthfully as of today I have no idea how to work with it.

Time to study!

Maybe I’ll ask BARD? 🙂

Here is a video that Google said it “edited slightly” showing how Gemini might work:

Wow!

Conclusion

AI is happening (just like the demise of movie theaters) and it is time to study up and / or….get used to it.

If you are a STEM / STEAM student….a whole world of new opportunities await your creativity and energy.

Go forth padawan and kick some STEM / STEAM butt! 🙂

Geek on!

Drive Safe! Never Forget.

A few more STEM / STEAM…..
