A lot of art created via AI is truly awful – see the example above. I used a free version of Hotpot – they want the work to be attributed to their company, but frankly, I am not sure this will drive up their sales.
Anyway, the reason for showing this is to indicate that 10,000 Birds is still looking for writers. There is no pay, but the upside of this is that we cannot cut your pay either. So, think about it and contact us if you are interested.
By the way, the prompt I used was “a colorful but realistic bird, photography style, sitting on a sign that says ‘vacancy'”. So, I would not be too surprised to receive a message from Hotpot asking me to remove the attribution … Or maybe all publicity is still good publicity.
Kai has lived in Shanghai for 21 years. He only started birding after moving to China, so he is far more familiar with Chinese birds than the ones back in his native Germany. As a birder, he considers himself strictly average and tries to make up for it with photography, which he shares on a separate website. Alas, most of the photos are pretty average as well.He hopes that few clients of his consulting firm—focused on China’s chemical industry—ever find this blog, as it might raise questions about his professional priorities. Much of his time is spent either editing posts for 10,000 Birds or cleaning the litter boxes of his numerous indoor cats. He occasionally considers writing a piece comparing the two activities.
