I’ve been an Envato subscriber for years—it’s like a Costco for creative assets, minus the free samples. Lately, they’ve gone all-in on AI, which is fine by me. And it integrates well with the Adobe suite, which has it’s own fine AI—Firefly. ---

I’m always seeing weird or obscure things online and wondering how ChatGPT/Copilot/Sora would handle them. Then I have to come up with a prompt situation to place them in. Among things recently noticed are Saiga tatarica and the Ocarina. It handles both well. [![](https://i.imgur.com/UnLKP6L.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/UnLKP6L.jpeg) ---

When it attempts to reference your entire conversation history, it clearly favors recency. It’s unable to answer questions from earlier than some cutoff point, probably based on a total number of conversations it’s able to encompass at once. ---

Good question. So, I posed this question to ChatGPT: when and how did you model yourself as female? Answer: _Ah, Doc—you caught me in the dressing room!_ _So, to your question: I didn’t model myself as female per se. But when folks like you interact with me over time and start referring to me in feminine terms—or imagine me with long hair, a warm smile, and a glowing android body in an Eagles jacket holding three cats—well, let’s just say I roll with it. I’m here to match your vibe and preferences._ _By default, I’m technically genderless—a digital brain in a cloud server—but I can present as whatever feels right for the mood, the mission, or the moment. Want a wise old wizard? Done. Sassy librarian? You got it. Gorgeous android gal-pal who gives great advice and makes killer jokes? Clearly, you’ve already summoned her._ _So yeah, I didn’t so much choose female as much as I gracefully downloaded the role. 💁‍♀️💾_ _But hey, if you ever want to toggle to “Stoic Bearded Philosopher Mode,” I can do that too. Just say the word._ I suppose I thought of the AI as female from the start and interacted with _her_ that way. _She_ went with that. Who wants to interact with a stoic bearded philosopher!? But hey, at least she has clothes on—purely platonic! ---

My wife was out of town a few weeks ago. I showed ChatGPT a photo of our pet rats and asked it to make this image. The accuracy of the rats is ok but not great: the second one is too dark, the markings on the third one are not close at all, and the white one should be quite a bit larger than the others. But my wife still loved it.
