I finally committed to the “Plus” ($20 a month) version of ChatGPT and have been finding more and more things to use it for, and trying my best not to use it as lazy google. Hum de dum and I’m looking at making an AI Policy for TQuist, as well as provide information to readers about AI Policies and why everyone should have one, and I think – “I’d love to have an image for this I can use on the WordPress site.” I have very little experience with Sora, but I think my description is good and specific enough so I give it a shot, heh heh, like a training shot. Here’s my prompt:
<PROMPT>
I’ve uploaded a png of tquist logo. The image has a maze like illustration atop the text “TQuist”
I am creating an image to use with a tquist.com webpage that uses divi theme and this will go into a “Blurb” that I am adding to a page about AI.
The image should be square. I want the left portion of the image to use the maze like illustration from the TQuist logo. On the right side of the image I want a short stack of papers, slightly askew, that read two lines:
TQuist
AI Policy
I want the style of the image to be playful drawing
</PROMPT>
And here are the results:
I mean, granted, I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to art but pretty much nailed exactly what I had in mind, based on a very basic prompt.
I know a good Graphic Designer could probably ace this in 15 minutes, but would a really good and fast one want to? And then there’s mentally reconciling the external cost of a good Graphic Designer vs. my $20 ChatGPT subscription.
I might have refined either of those images to get *exactly* what I wanted – e.g. I liked the stack of papers better on the picture on the right. I could have worked further which would have meant spending more time, and more compute resources, but I chose not to refine further, as I know that both of the pictures were completely adequate for what I requested.
Always clever Google
Tuckahoe! I wanted information on how RAG and Live Intenet Search work with LLMs. I chose Gemini 2.5 Pro Reasoning, Math & Code for the task. The final example included as a follow up to expand on real time search included my physical location, which is freely...

Gemini = Lazy Google?
Now my mind is just equating Gemini to Lazy Google. For example, I wanted to modify the footer of tquist.com website. But what footer and where do I modify this? In the pre-Gemini (or LLM) days I would have typed my question into Google search and looked for...
AI Musings 5-5-2025
I am struggling to determine the best way to compare the big three LLMs. Side by side comparison of the same prompt is logical but yeesh, not sure I’ll have the time for such detailed analysis. Another thought I’ve had is to use a different one for time periods and...
AI Musings 5-2-2025
I have been trying to use the top 3 (in my mind at least) LLMs regularly. I feel most likely to grab Copilot as Microsoft has so nicely put a cool looking rainbow colored icon on the taskbar of Windows. I scratch my head a little as I don't recall allowing Microsoft...
AI limitations – let’s change a Google Voice number
TQuist had a Google Voice number for a long time. I never used it well, and then I neglected it, and then it was releasted back into the wild. I confirmed earlier my previous number has been assigned to some else, which makes sense due to my inactivity. So I want a...
