Artificial Intelligence and Mother’s Day Gifts
Well that’s Saint Valentine’s Day in the rear view mirror and now there’s a gap in the heady gift buying schedule of us mere mortals. So I thought I should have a look at the way the world is turning and take a gander at Artificial Intelligence. Usually I take the photographs for this blog myself, as I don’t want to pay copyright charges, but this time I used generative A I to produce some pictures for Mother’s Day, which is on the horizon quite soon. The results are startling and available in a second, yes literally a second. You can get strikingly realistic pictures. I used it at Christmas to get a picture of Elvis Presley as an elf, and that was incredibly glossy if a little soulless. This is obviously the way forward for many businesses trawling the internet, but it is a challenge to those who make a living out of scribbling. Indeed one of the reasons why there isn’t as much new stuff on the telly this year, because of the writers and actors strike in the USA last year which has put a dent into the production schedule of most film and TV companies.
But of course none of us should lose sight of what makes us human including our affection for animals and we can be fairly sentimental about our furry and feathered friends. We like to mark this regard for them for posterity. Recently Dundee has unveiled a new statue not to honour a person, but a humble pigeon, which became a hero in World War 2. A badly damaged light bomber was returning from Norway and it had to ditch in the North Sea 120 miles from home, at which point they released a female pigeon called Winkie. She promptly flew home with her message giving the bomber’s location and thus saving the downed four man crew. The new statue is set beside the River Tay.
Now this is where I shoehorn a reference to the impressive range of James Pirie affordable gifts, it is after all what I do. You too can mark a special occasion for a special person rather than a pigeon, the woman in your life on Mother’s day. And because we are hard working, frugal people we have some very fine wares at completely affordable prices. It's time to show your love and gratitude with a truly amazing gift that will show just how much you care about that special ‘her.’ And you can say it with flowers, well almost. It’s a wonderful tall vase that says Spring is coming with the Daffodils Tall Vase from Royal Scot Crystal that oozes quality and whisper it quietly it’s on at half price. It comes in a lovely presentation box, you can ask for free gift wrapping at checkout and it’s free delivery to boot! It’s a gift that will stay wonderful for many years.
