That sanding trick worked for me too, @sean854.

My cousin's AI portrait came out with seven fingers on each hand. I tried to make a simple picture of my backyard and got trees growing from the roof. Your story about floating houses is totally familiar. I once asked for a beach scene and ended up with fish flying in the sky. Maybe we're both just bad at giving instructions. Or AI is really that clueless about normal stuff.

Found that too, talking about a specific episode breaks the ice way faster.

Seriously? We're in bear country, so what does @ivans31 expect? Bears looking for an easy meal near old campsites is what they've always done. It feels like we're just noticing it more now and turning it into some huge safety crisis.

Yeah congrats on the year. For me the hardest part was the dry spells where no ideas felt good at all. Just staring at a blank page for way too long. Pushing through those pointless feeling days was the real test.
