Intro
Sometimes I’m really surprised by how quickly the years go by. It was just “yesterday” when I wrote the first Welcome post, in which I described why I created this site: I wanted a place where I could talk about the world of AI in a clear and honest way, where I could show how to use these tools well, and where I could also express my own curiosity. A small online place where anyone can come and learn more about where this is all going mostly from the perspective of visual art.
The Past
I’ve learned a lot in the past two years – not only about technology, but also about how to build a website from scratch. I did everything myself: from design to research to writing articles. Of course, this is often time-consuming, especially since I do it in my free time, but I always enjoy sitting down to write. This blog is not work for me, but creation, relaxation and continuous development.
The Present and the Future
There are currently about thirty posts on the site, and the best thing is that I haven’t run out of ideas at all. For example,
I’m already working on some topics like:
- a Prompting Guide,
- several articles about Leonardo AI,
- Gemini (incl. Nano banana),
- I’d like to introduce a new free image generator, Flextreme AI (flextremeai.com),
- I have articles planned on AI video production,
- and of course the NoAI topic, which seems particularly interesting to many of you.
I feel that the next two years will be at least as exciting as the last two.
I’m also thinking about creating an open, but of course structured forum (e.g. on Discord).
I continue to consider it important to use genAI consciously and moderately. I’ve already written about environmental and other impacts and risks in some articles.
How can you Support
Finally, an important but somewhat sensitive topic for me: maintaining a blog comes with costs, and I would like to keep the site free from advertisements – I don’t want intrusive ads that take away the focus. If you would like to support my work and contribute to the operation of the site, you can do so with a PayPal donation. I am sincerely grateful for all the support – and I promise to continue building this little AI island with the same enthusiasm.
Thank you for being with me!
