50 Shades of Pink
Hey David, whilst you’re looking in the pink, what’s the answer to this question:
Hidden away in Gwydir Forest (not really) there’s a one-story house that’s coloured pink. All the furniture is pink, the wallpaper is pink, even the bedrooms are pink. The cat isn’t pink. The people aren’t pink. So what colour are the stairs?
Is the answer pink? No. Why? Because this pink, single story house doesn’t have any stairs. Apologies.
What Dilemma?
The Royal Photographic Society, based in Bristol, is just one of the many organisations around the world that is trying to set guidelines and rules around the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). But there’s still a long way to go for everyone. Will we ever need guidance in relation to AI in the crown green bowling world? Rest assured, our Club photos are not AI generated, so what you see is what we’ve got!
