Ephraim and Manti Temples with a wee bit of Artificial Intelligence

 We spent the last couple of days with Sara and her family, swimming, playing games, and visiting the Ephraim and Manti Temples.

We began by swimming in a hotel pool Thursday afternoon.

Friday morning, we drove to the Ephraim, Utah Temple where half of us participated in baptisms for the dead.

Then we drove approximately seven miles down the road to the Manti Temple.

Having fun with Artificial Intelligence

 We played around with ChatGPT's image generator this week.

I asked the program to take this photo of me, Gideon, Douglas, and Maxwell at the Grand Junction, Colorado Temple and turn us into superheroes.

This is what it produced.

Then I told it to add Jesus to the photo.

This is from a photo of me at the Grand Canyon. I told ChatGPT to add a temple in the background.

Reed and I love the He-Man show, so I turned us into He-Man.

Yesterday (October 14th) was the one-year anniversary of the passing of my dear Mother. I took a family photo and asked ChatGPT to make Mom an angel and have her and Jesus looking at the rest of the family from a distance.

I told the program to remove Mom's wings.

Then I told the program to use a different photo of Sara and Lizzie, but it ended up switching their heads. 😁 And as you can see, sometimes it alters the faces a bit as well.

Penny had fun adding pandas to some of the photos.

Douglas made this one using a phrase that is (supposedly) popular with the youngsters these days.

Sam's uncle, Richard Lowry, took the photo of baby Layth and turned it into this funny video.
