generic-grocery gawk

Refers to the astonished stare that you assume when taste-testing two or more brands of a particular supermarket-offering and unexpectedly discover that you actually **prefer** the lower-priced store-brand (which traditionally would be expected to have a "weaker 'n' thinner" flavor/texture), rather than a costlier "big name" product.

Being on SSI and Food Stamps and thus having a very-limited budget, I am used to just buying the "el-cheapo" store-brand of groceries whenever I can stand their usually-milder-tasting flavors. Occasionally I do "splurge" and buy the pricier "fancy-pants" foods, though, when the taste is dramatically better, such as Nutella hazelnut spread or Armour Vienna sausage. One startling exception to this latter condition, though, was in the case of Dinty-Moore beef stew as opposed to just the Great Value brand... I bought a can of DM just to try it out in comparison to the WalMart brand, and I had a total case of generic-grocery gawk --- the Dinty-Moore brand was absolutely a-w-f-u-l, whereas the richly-tasty Great Value stew won hands-down! Boy, ya never know till ya try it, do ya???

Generative AI Art

"Generative AI Art" is where you use your words to influences the creation of an image. The image that is made isn't made by you but the collaboration between your words and the computer modal you interacted with. That said many modals give users lots of fine controls over the result

Using Generative AI you are not a graphic artist. You are a storyteller like a playwriter. It's your job to tell the story you want to see by setting the scene, any dialogue and subject mater. Then be the director until the actors (generator) make the artwork we need.

While the final output is an image, video, audio, etc. it is important to remember that the role of the Human participant is in the writing and so they are a writer. Also that the final work would not exist without the humans input so they share partial ownership of the creation as a play write would over a live theater production.

"Generative AI Art" is crazy. I just type in "castle" and I get a medieval looking castle but when I started added details about the castle I was able to recreate that scene from our D&D session last night.

I think as "Generative AI Art" like taking a photo. Ya I can pull out my phone in the mirror and make a duck face but I could also hike out to a waterfall with my DSLR as dawn and score an amazing shot with sun rays hitting the spray in morning light.
