For those who only read the comments first, this article is about writing effective prompts for AI image generation
Why effective? This is more of an exploration.

#22@dang: would it be possible to add sub domains for ghost.io (similar to github.io) in the parens after the title?
Is there some reason all subdomains couldn't be shown? Maybe with the exclusion for www.

More generally, it seems that any domain on the Public Suffix List [1] should be shown with a third-level domain (or possibly more).

#25Prompt design / learning how to talk to and communicate effectively with AIs is going to be the next decade’s programming superpower. As an aside, are there any good approaches for producing this kind of generative art on a CPU only system that lacks a GPU?

Well, isn’t it? Except we’re at Middle Ages/ early Renaissance rates of computer science and programming literacy. “The future is already here, it’s just not widely distributed yet” and all that.

#26The title is misleading
That’s a bit strong. It’s a bit cryptic maybe..

You can still make tons of money by being a good businessperson and knowing nothing about programming.
I really wouldn't use the term "literacy" for programming-skills.
"Literacy" is not about being at an advantage. It is about having a disadvantage when you don't have it.

Just yesterday I was asked if I was worried about losing my job because of AI and I smugly replied that us programmers will be needed even more, as interpreters. This is an excellent article as explanation I'll be sharing!
If you're still seeing people flipping burgers, you should be safe for at least a decade.

HN loves contextless titles, I'm not sure why really

Another perspective may be - similar to how people were saying the post will go bust when internet came in with email etc. - but it turned out to be the opposite.
Maybe intelligence will simply become commoditized and programming/creating things with it will require even more programmers.
