A Little Late Night Generative AI

Easter Pinup ready?
Easter Pinup ready?

So, I’m laying in bed tonight, fully aware I should probably just go to sleep…

and instead, I start messing around with generative AI.


Naturally, I decide what I really need in this moment

is images of myself as an Easter pin-up girl.


Totally appropriate.

Very on brand.

Especially for Easter.


And just to be clear, this was not my idea.

This was clearly influenced by a TikTok ad.

I am simply a victim of highly targeted marketing.


Anyway.


I put in a prompt, hit generate, and suddenly—

there she is.


An Easter pin-up version of me.


And honestly?

It mostly, sort of, kind of looks like me.


Which feels both impressive and slightly concerning.


So of course I do what any reasonable person would do—

I tweak the prompt.


Because now I’m curious.


Let’s see what happens next.


The image starts generating…

and I can see it forming—blurry at first—

and I’m like, oh wow, she’s looking very confident… very… bold… very… is that sexy?


…and then—


Poof.


Gone.


Replaced with a message saying the image can’t be shown

because it violates content policies.


Excuse me??


So I try again.


Same thing.


Again.


Blocked.


At this point, I’m in a full back-and-forth with AI,

which apparently has decided that my digital twin

is simply too much for the internet to handle.


So I adjust the prompt:


“Make it less sexy.”


And just like that—

problem solved.


Now I’m an Easter pin-up girl ready for a magazine spread

that could sit comfortably next to a basket of pastel eggs

and not offend anyone’s grandmother.


But of course I keep going.


Because why stop

when ChatGPT clearly wants to make me extra sexy…

and then immediately regrets it

and refuses to show me?


It’s like watching someone hype you up

and then panic halfway through.


Meanwhile, I’m over here laughing in bed,

definitely being environmentally irresponsible

with my late-night AI experiments…


…but honestly?


Worth it.
