There is already a bookshelf back there but it felt like a place that I should put some art. I’ve been using and buying generative art for a little while, so my first thought was to hang up a Dalle generated image. The immediate second thought was for a way to change the image that came up on some regular cadence, mostly so I wouldn’t be trapped by the fear of choosing just one prompt.
I realized I shouldn’t be so selfish. Why not just let anyone input a prompt? It would be fun to see what photos my friends or coworkers decided to toss up there.
After this I was off to the races. I had a few conversations with the new o1 flavor of GPT via Perplexity, and decided on the following framework.
Anyone can text a prompt to a number, and the generated photo will stay on the screen in my background until another person gives it a shot. Everyone on my team at work has this number, as do a bunch of my friends.
