a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

There's a lot of talk about AI created art. However, AI does not  technically create art. It just copies it from the input provided by humans. The way it works is that it stores numerous images and then reduplicates them. Makes me think of those paraphrasing language apps that allow students to cheat on their essays with less risk of getting caught. As a teacher, I know something about those. As a teacher, I'm also down in bed with high fever third time this month! I love kids, but they are germ carriers or this professor calls them- germ factories . There's  silver lining to my illness, though. I managed to write  a proper blog post. Feel free not to comment on it if you don't have the time to read it. Yes, being sick and all, I decided to dig into the depressive reality of AI generated art theft.    I'm not going to into the debate or whether AI art possesses a real  potential treat to human society or not, because that's not what this article is about.

Hello, today I'm taking you to Planinica hill near Mostar. We have chosen this gorgeous hill overlooking Mostar city as our weekend hiking destination for a number of reasons. As regular readers of my blog might know, we love to hike there! The views from Planinica are absolutely amazing. It is the perfect place to breathe in fresh air. Moreover, it offers nice bird-watching opportunities. If you are an animal lover, this is a great location for you. I would add that it is a lovely travel location for any season.  It being winter, I must admit that our visit was additionally motivated by the snow. Herzegovina is a region marked by Mediterranean climate. Snow is a rarity here. There hasn't been any snow in Mostar this year (so far), so the only way to experience it is to visit nearby mountains or hills. We opted for Planinica hills because it's much closer than any of the mountains.  SHOPPING MY CLOSET FOR A WINTER CHIC OUTFIT  I don't have much time for hiking and trips
