Wouldn’t that be programmed? Then it’s not AI.
- Comment on Do rich people only wear designer clothes? Like, every piece? 1 week ago:
Nope. My mother’s family is rich, they wear clothes tailored for them. Underwear and socks come from C&A or somewhere else cheap. They think designer wear is common and think people like that are beneath them.
Yeah, they’re stuck up.

So is it still possible to give a style prompt? I haven’t dabbled with it in ages. When it started out, you’d tell it you wanted, say, the style of Rembrandt but with a dash of horror or something. Can you still do that?

Mine did that years ago. But when you change your address, you have to go to the webpage, which tells you to use the app, which only links to the webpage, which opens the app…
Anyway, I had to ring them.
