Glory or nothing – another project of mine

I also dabble in creative writing, and lately I’ve been messing with AI generated text and music too.

So I just wanted to share this – the first video on my new YouTube channel that combines those two things.

Ai meets shaving, part two

A couple of years ago I wrote a little piece about why – when you came right down to it – AI could ruin articles about shaving. Or at least the articles you’ll find in glossy magazines, which – as we all know – are seldom worth reading.

Today I tried generating a similar image. And the new image is… way much better.

I mean, there are some issues still.

Take pleasure from the little things

I don’t shave every day. This is in part a habit from before I started using a proper razor, and in part a nod to the face that my skin – while not as tender as some people – probably couldn’t stand up to a nearly BBS every single day.

Today was not a shave day. T-days never is.
