I updated my laptop this afternoon to the latest version of Apple OS. When at last, after it restarted several times, I was able to access the machine, I got a message about the new AI (that's Apple Intelligence) features I *could* use. "Create fun, original images in seconds with Image Playground," one notification encouraged me, and then helpfully launched the app.
I had the option of describing anything I wanted to in words and then seeing the image generated or starting with a photo. I tried the first way but was disappointed in the white cat with devil horns I requested. (Yes, I was inspired by that naughty Tibby, who happened to be sitting on the table.) Even when I refined the description to have both ears and horns, the app just gave me the image of a white cat with a tiny, not-so-very-demonic mohawk.
Perhaps I should have exited then, but curiosity made me click on the photo option, where I chose one of the many selfies in my camera roll and was presented with an eerie artificial version of myself. I made her hair a bit lighter and then gave her a flannel shirt, but she was still a bit off.
