ChatGPT Plus remembers Writing

Slip the Trap 2023-06-09 | #chatgpt #claude+ #writing
Writing with AI helpers:

The ever growing list of AI-thingies that are not useful for creative fiction writing:
1. ChatGPT - where we all start, but I got no where with it in those days
2. Sudowrite - gets stuck in action/adventure-land and adds new characters out of the blue; too expensive = 90,000 words lasts like 3 days
3. Verb.ai - stops midsentence
4. NovelAI - looked promising, but the writing was whacky
5. Bard - refers to itself in 3rd person, and forgets previous writing very fast ... but it win out, it's Google
6. Jasper - no
7. Rytr - no
8. Poe using Claude+ - is ok, but adds stuff, and forgets everything from the previous day or browser session
9. ChatGPT Plus + GPT-4 - it takes a lot of guidance and patience, but I got it to do an entire screenplay while I learned exactly what a screenplay is, both at the same time. So far it is the only AI-thingie that "mostly" remembers, even overnight.
Aside: what's an entire screenplay, well it turned out to be 110 pages, where a page equals a minute of video time.

To be honest, I am no Herman Melville or Virginia Wolfe, but these AI-thingies have a long ways to go even when one watches over them: ask it questions, read what they write, rewrite that and ask them for feedback, yelling (uppercase and "!") at it gets their attention. As you may notice it is a bit of work on the humans part, you know "us", which is ok and kind of expected. But a big upside is that AI types words way faster than most of us and without spelling/grammar mistakes.

So that is my thoughts on the state of AI writing on Friday, June 9, 2023 ... and yes I will sign up for the next AI-thingie, it has been interesting, but I do wonder if the world ended in September 2021, as that is when the training ended.

Interesting reading:

1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_parrot

2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem … even mentions Pascal and Swift

Tarot in the machine

Slip the Trap 2023-06-02 | #tarot #aitarot #artificialintelligence
No it's not paper cards nor an app, but my tarot web page combined with a reading ChatGPT+4 … it does lack soul, for sure, but this might be a useful for learning more about tarot, plus it is free and always available (well, mostly).

See:
slipthetrap.com/tarot_taropian_songs.html

The cards revealed and a prompt for the AI thingie:
Please use the proper RWS tarot card number and name in your reading, and I have the following cards for a Tarot Horseshoe spread: 10 Wheel of Fortune, 12 Hanged, 7 Wands, 3 Cups, 2 Swords, 2 Pentacles, 6 Wands

...............................................
AI thingie I used in the video is at: chat.openai.com ... and it said:
Absolutely, here is an interpretation for your Horseshoe spread using the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) tarot deck:

1. The Past - X Wheel of Fortune: This card represents cycles, change, and fate. In your past, there may have been significant turning points or moments of destiny that brought about significant change.

2. The Present - XII The Hanged Man: Currently, you are in a phase of pause, surrender, and seeing things from a new perspective. This card suggests the need for a different approach, possibly through sacrifice or letting go.

3. Hidden Influences - Seven of Wands: The hidden influence is a spirit of defiance, defense, and standing your ground. You might be facing challenges or competition that's not overtly apparent but necessitates courage and perseverance.

4. Obstacles - Three of Cups: Usually a card of celebration and friendship, as an obstacle it might indicate distractions, overindulgence, or conflicts within your social circle. It might be necessary to focus more on individual tasks or introspection.

5. Attitudes and Beliefs - Two of Swords: Your attitude is one of indecision or impasse. You believe in seeking peace and balance, but there could be a need to make a decision that you've been avoiding.

6. Others Around You - Two of Pentacles: Others might be juggling tasks, adapting to changes, or managing their time or resources effectively. There's a dynamic environment around you that calls for flexibility.

7. Outcome - Six of Wands: The outcome points towards success, victory, and recognition. Your efforts could lead to public acknowledgment or progress towards your goals.

Remember, tarot readings are subjective and are meant to provide guidance rather than concrete answers. The meanings can vary depending on the situation and the individual's own circumstances.

.................
I then said:
can you give me a reading all 7 cards together (notice it understand "missing speak")

AI thingie said:
Certainly, in an overall context, your Horseshoe spread signifies a journey of introspection, change, and eventual victory.

You are moving from a phase of significant changes and turning points (X Wheel of Fortune) into a time of contemplation and change in perspective (XII The Hanged Man). Hidden influences suggest an ongoing inner struggle or unseen challenges (Seven of Wands), but the spirit of perseverance remains strong within you.

The obstacle here is related to social distractions or potential conflicts within your circle (Three of Cups). You might need to pull back from social engagements to focus on individual tasks and decision-making, especially given the ambivalence and need for decision depicted by the Two of Swords.

Your environment is filled with dynamism and the need to balance multiple priorities (Two of Pentacles). This demands adaptability and efficient time management. But your overall trajectory leads towards success and public recognition (Six of Wands). Your efforts, struggles, and the changes you're undergoing are likely to lead to a victorious outcome, affirming your efforts and journey.

This reading suggests a journey filled with change and introspection that ultimately leads to success and recognition. Remember, tarot is subjective and provides guidance. The interpretations can change based on the individual and the specific situations at hand.

A cloned voice reads chapter 4 of the Taropian Songs ebook

Slip the Trap 2023-03-03 | #AIvoice #voiceclone #tarot
A cloned voice reads chapter 4 of the Taropian Songs ebook. The cloned voice is my voice, and I read a 5 minute piece from some old writing and the A.I. was able to clone my voice. Amazing and scary at the same time. I think it did a pretty good job. So now I can just type or copy/paste some text and the clone voice can read it and record a MP3 audio file. That’s cool, and it can do that with any text. Yeah, sometimes it mispronounces words, but so do I.
What’s next for A.I. now that it's mastered art, voice, animation, chess?
Perhaps I will be uploading the contents of my brain soon. Immortality?
Well, it certainly will not take long to upload “me” 🙈 ... no zip required for that one. 😛
Am I more than what is in my noggin? 🧠 😱 What are you thoughts?

as those two packages are, w3.css is so much easier to understand and put to use. I do not
track any visitors to the website, and none of those annoying popup ads. Furthermore, the

Vellum #01: format your books; a quick start

Slip the Trap 2022-12-30 | #vellum #bookformating #books
A quick start guide about how to use Vellum to format your book.
You can get Vellum at https://vellum.pub/

Notes for video:
Vellum #01: format your books; a quick start

1. mention Vellum's tutorial here: https://help.vellum.pub/tutorial/

2. Vellum's tutorial provided a docx and png file suitable for publishing to KDP as an ebook
… H. G. Wells “The Invisible Man” so it is a good place to start

3. for your book you will have a docx file = "xxx.docx" previously created manuscript via Word, Pages, or Google Docs

4. download and click on Vellum, it is free to use until you want to generate a book

5. import the docx file into Vellum

6. notice the 3 panels/windows: 1) navigator, 2) text editor, 3) live preview

7. notice the chapters in the "navigator" panel (far left)

8. notice you can edit text in the "text editor" panel (middle)

9. notice the "live preview" panel (far right), which shows your book on various devices or print(PDF)

10. ensure your chapters and text are ok

11. add front matter pages: copyright, table of contents(automatic for ebooks), and so on

12. add back matter pages: about the author, other books by you, and so on

13. other than steps 11. and 12. there is nothing else to do, but you can style and customize, a lot

14. now, if you purchased a license (pricey, yes) you can generate your book

15. generate a book: ebook=epub and/or paperback=PDF

16. upload your book to Amazon or somewhere

17. done, now, go write another book

****
Pros:
****
- Just the default styling, i.e. you change nothing, looks far better than so many ebooks and paperbacks sold on Amazon.

- It is like Vellum was done by programmers that are also writers and authors of books, and their default settings work perfectly.

- Of course, you can customize with other styles and images and so on.

- You get to be a control freak, i.e. a self-publisher, so you write the book, format the book, and decide where to sell your book. It is all on you, and the world is your oyster.

****
Cons:
****
- Only for Apple Mac and MacBook ... not PC, not iPad, not iPhone

- Yes, Vellum is expensive! Depends on your perspective. But maybe not if you are an author who writes and self-publishes books. And not if you already own a Mac or Macbook. The money you save by not buying Word can pay for Vellum, as Pages or Google Docs can both export a docx file. Some book designers charge $150 or more PER book, involving extra time and back/forth communication … of course, their work can be very custom. Example designer:
champagnebookdesign.com/?page_id=35

- However, a PC owner can rent a Mac by the hour/day, see: https://help.vellum.pub/guides/using-on-windows/

Good luck and enjoy! ☮️

A.I. Art using NightCafe

A.I. Art using NightCafe. The demo of cat on a hot tin roof is here: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/d2NJdOBsFvQJn5g466tQ
... and the boy looking out window is here: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/AYcFRkmgsSdQXf0pH5Tw

Other than wasting hours of time, what can you do with this AI art thingies:

1. You know you "can't" art, no way and no how, but you would like to, and you do love staring at art, and you're ok with typing words = bam it's art!

2. You need a book cover or a poster for that special family gathering, again you like words = bam it's art!

3. You can not afford art supplies, and definitely not some drawing tablet+pen tech, but you can type words = bam it's art!

4. Your personal art seems to be missing a "little something, something" (maybe you nodded off in art school) so you can use one of your many attempts at an artwork as a starting place, and let the AI bot-thingie do its thing = bam it's art!

5. A "what if" scenario, you pull a card from some deck like everyday or whatever, so instead searching and shuffling through decks and cards (which I would still do, of course) and hunting down the guidebook and so on and so on; you go to one of these AI art thingies and type in something like: how you feel (sad, happy, meh, not awake enough for AI),
where you are in the world,
what is that in my oatmeal?,
the weather outside your window,
why do I have 400 text messages from mom?,
and so on and so forth = bam you get a picture that may be specific to your situation, and you can stare at it throughout the day.

There are probably more reasons I can't think of since this is not a promo and I did very little research (I know there is MidJourney and others), but it sure is fun to play with this new stuff. Also, I have an odd attraction to that moment where the AI is working ("running" they call it) on the art and slowly it morphs into something and then appears ... kind of, sort of like turning a tarot card over, anticipation, mysterious.

Taropian Songs tarot

This video displays the original digital images used in the tarot deck.
After adjustments and adding titles, it was printed as tarot deck using MPC, and arrived on June 10, 2022.

Also, I have started a companion book for this deck, see:
amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B0B7ZWTR9D

Currently, the book is a story on Kindle Vella as episodes, the first three episodes are free to read. I am writing it on Kindle Vella for now, because they are paying a bonus to new writers (which I am, for sure). Unfortunately, at this time, Vella is not available worldwide. Once all 80 episodes are written the book will be available as a Kindle ebook, paperback, and maybe hardcover too. So in the end this entire effort was a bit like Kickstarter project.

To view each tarot card image individually go here:
slip-the-trap.pixels.com/collections/tarot . . . it's free to view.
Enjoy! ☮️

Taropian Songs Tarot: Introduction

Any comments about the images, how to do the numbers/titles, the back of each card, or even which card to show next ... all are welcomed.

All of the tarot card images I have created so far are here:
slip-the-trap.pixels.com/collections/tarot
... it's free to view, even the bigger size, so ignore the prices as this is not a promo for selling. I pay to put images on Fine Art America (FAA) because it is easy to do, offer unlimited storage, and there are no annoying popup's. I have been posting artworks to them almost everyday. You can also get FAA and all of my art via my website at slipthetrap.com/. Enjoy! ☮️
