Hi class,

I tried to generate an image of “LeBron playing basketball with Jesus in the style of the Mona Lisa” just like you wanted, but it blocked my prompt yet again, saying that such content was unacceptable. I wanted you to know that I didn’t forget.

(Btw: If you didn’t already know, you can create AI images, not only with Dall-E in Chat GPT, but with via other places, for instance, Microsoft’s Bing: Image Creator from Microsoft Designer (bing.com) )

Today, I went on to create with the AI from two more prompts. Here is what the AI gave me for “students in a college english class having a lucid dream about passing the semester successfully and beautifully with unicorns and birthday cakes in the style of anime”:

and here is what the AI gave me for “students in a college english class sitting in a circle talking about what they did that morning with early morning light and vivid and pleasing colors”:

and, btw, I did create citations for both in proper MLA Style. I had some questions on how to do it, so I asked a Librarian Online for help. He helped me in 24-hour chat, just as fast as a bot.

So, we talked about a lot this last week — difficult stuff — and no, we didn’t look like any of the above pictures, but I just want to say before Thanksgiving break how grateful I am to have you as my students. I really enjoy our class; I really enjoy you guys. And hey, I just used a semicolon.
