On a more important note, we can effectively ignore any photograph that is presented as evidence of something - which makes dealing with corrupt politicians and the like even more difficult.

Edit: Moo beat me to it. And to answer Moo's question: yes, it's a very real worry. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I agree, certainly...but if you like to be creative, then it is incredible what it can produce if you get the technical requirements right in the prompts. I asked it to compose a portrait of a young couple embracing on the beach in the 1920s and look at this.

Very good.

Btw, was that the same beach the Disco was on, and if so, is it theirs?

Could you do one of me snogging Debbie Harry in the early 1980s?

It can't be that intelligent - colour photography did not become mainstream until the 1970s due to the pigment being so unstable prior to that!

Think I would like a bash at this AI stuff myself.
So where can you buy the machines….. would Curry’s have them in stock?
Or could I hire one from Radio Rentals?

Seriously though, how do you access this? ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
