While the shad run has come to an end in Florida, my obsession with it never ends. I am also a bit of a tech junkie, and with all of the talk about Artificial Intelligence in the news of late, I decided to see what OpenAI’s DALL·E text to image generator knew about shad fishing. The text I fed the generator is under each picture. The results are downright hilarious! Based on what I see below, I think it will be quite some time before Skynet becomes self-aware. Enjoy!
