Google has an interesting program called Canvas which uses AI to generate images and now this can run to website design too, with complete coding supplied, all free. In a matter of minutes something that would have taken me ages is ready to launch. Indeed, I am not sure my coding skills are good enough anyway, no matter how long the ages. My own Corgi website has been pretty much unchanged for many years so I thought I should give Canvas a try.
All I wrote was this:
"make a landing page for my https://corgi.toys website"
For a moment, I felt I should add 'please' somewhere in the request. That's a sign of my age! But then I reminded myself self that I am communicating with a pile of code and, whilst the idea that behind all this AI stuff is a room full of very bright people clattering away at keyboards never quite gets completely erased from my mind and brings a welcome smile from time to time, good manners are really quite superfluous in this instance.
So here are a few pages of what the AI people came up with . . .
Yes, they think / it thinks that I am dealing with some nice toys for corgi dogs to play with!!
It's so amusing and yet so good in its way that I just had to share it with you. Whilst being of no use whatsoever I have to say how impressed I am with the little touches like the logo and 'what parents say'. Compared to the dreadful and increasingly tiresome and repetitive AI-provided text that we are now having to read on most Ebay listings, this is really quite excellent.
I shall, of course, try again sometime and provide rather more specific guidance for Canvas AI to work with and, if the results are good, I may well make use of them and bring you more news about that in due course.
