Two imaginative self-portraits were created in LWC Professor David Goguen's presentation with a prompt to "visualize how an artificial intelligence (AI) program might perceive itself." The artworks blend abstract and technological elements, featuring visual metaphors like neural networks and circuit patterns, to represent the AI's essence and its contemplative view on existence and role. In each result, it is the human prompt that determines the end result.

LWC Professor David Goguen shared his research on Chat GPT, one of the new AI (artificial intelligence) programs at a recent Adair County Arts Council meeting. As he spoke, he demonstrated with two examples. The example behind him in this photo is a result of his prompt given to the AI program - "Oil painting, Woman and Child, in the style of High Renaissance, Tenebrism lighting, clean sharp focus, 16:9 ratio."

The mother of these two kids born this week at Homeplace on Green River is a fence-jumping Lamancha goat owned by Chris and Marie Anderson. They own Boerderline Goat Farm at Coburg, and have some of their operation at Homeplace.

The daddy of these two is a Boer buck. Boer goats have long floppy ears and Lamanchas have, well, tiny ears. As you can see the baby on the left has the Boer ears and the sibling on the right has the Lamancha ears.

When you come to Spring Plow Day Craft and Music Festival on Saturday, April 20, 2024, you can see these two cutie pies!
