Sounds like magic, right? Well, Apple, in collaboration with AI researchers from the University of California, is turning this into reality....

Everything You Need to Know About Cara, the AI-Free Social Media Platform for Artists Have you heard about Cara? This app has taken the art community by storm in the past week. It skyrocketed from 40,000 to 700,000 users in just seven days, mainly thanks to Instagram's controversy over using images to train AI. With its recent surge, the numbers are likely even higher now. The app also cracked the top 5...

This morning, I received an email from Meta (the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and several other services). It looked like a regular notification that privacy policies were updated, which is normal practice. When new features are released, the need to update policies and include these new...

I recently asked an AI, in this case Microsoft's Copilot AI, to produce a creative blog post to promote my new Full Moon Photography workshops in London. The result was, at times, both hilarious and poetic, so I decided to publish this anyway. Though it may not be all made-up nonsense: in fact, the band Pearl Jam decided to turn into music and lyrics the same Super Blood Wolf Moon I had...

Midjourney v6 just came out, kind of a Christmas present to all AI aficionados.You may have noticed that I use some stunning images in this blog and in my newsletter (to which you should subscribe, of course).

The result may be totally different from what I would write on these pages, but I found it quite funny. So I'm keeping the AI version,...
