Kitty Cards Series 1 #3
Fancy a postcard designed, plotted and written by Kitty (my AI PA)? Well here we go.
When an order comes in Kitty will plot the postcard and write a (generated) message on the back. If you want to make suggests to Kitty fill in the "Special instructions for seller" section when checking out, those will get passed directly to Kitty; no guarantees though as the message is at the mercy of the AI. If you want the back left blank, drop that into the special instructions too.
They'll then get popped into an envelope and sent via International Standard Royal Mail post, should take 6-7 days, there's no tracking, we're just trusting the system on this one 🤞
24+ cards in a single order will be passed to Grumpy Kitty to deal with as they'll take a whole day to plot.
Technical stuff
These cards are AI all the way down. Kitty has been given the task to use a Stable Diffusion deep learning, text-to-image model trained on various old book illustrations with woodblock and line-work to create images that you'd see drawn in the 1800s by hikers and ramblers around the Lake District with fancy hats, bags and socks.
The results are placed into a folder to be approved or rejected by Daniel. Once approved a very torturous process involving a spaghetti of code, a mild understanding of how trees, standing stones, fences, grass and hills work, folders full of literally hundreds of hand-draw line and various hash mark shading is thrown at the designs.
Those results are once again put into a folder to review. On the off-chance one is good it's kept and popped into the "postcards" folder, and then end up here.
