In reply to Toonsarah.Thanks, Sarah. It's good to know that AI has a way to go before it can replace me. >grin<Seriously, though impressed by its choices and explanations, I didn't really find it personable.

In reply to Tina Schell.Thanks, Tina! Sometimes Excire misses the mark for me as well. It's text prompt function doesn't necessarily use the keywords it used to tag a photo. To me, that was the challenge for Excire to provide images fitting a word I supplied. I found it interesting that not one choice of mine was repeated by my search.

In reply to Egídio.I use Gemini to ask questions about things of which I know not. I like how it provides links to sources for checking Gemini's work. It's kinda like the librarian who can reference a passage and point you at the book. Sometimes librarians miss the point as well. >grtin<

That was an interesting exercise, asking AI to identify and then explain resilience in your images. But I confess I'm more convinced by the examples you chose yourself, especially that resourceful sycamore :)

I love that you took to AI to ask why excite chose those images John – fabulous!! I use excite and typically it works well and rarely confuses me. This week it did a lousy job and I used my own brain for my response. Then again, maybe it WASN’T lousy and I just didn’t understand the reasons. In any case, wonderful response, loved it!

Excellent post, John. I liked the photos and, especially, your incursion into AI explanations. I use Gemini a lot and am glad to see its responses for your photos.

In reply to photobyjohnbo.Yes, I admire those birds nesting in cactus!
