    That's a great idea! I will have to try that. I'll also have to try introducing it to my husband and son. They love when I read to them - and explain the history/background. Seeing them enjoy...

    Caribbean Sea & Peacock Feathers

    Edit: How it describes my personality - blues in general provoke calming thoughts, as does the sound of the sea. My friends and family often remark that I have a calming demeanor, in fact people (and animals) often turn to me in times of distress. Regarding the Peacock - my first thought was pride and beauty. I do take a lot of pride in my work and I greatly appreciate beauty - as any good Libra would. :) This was a fun little exercise! I enjoyed thinking about my favorite colors and items that make me appreciate the color teal so much. The major reason I like that color so much is because I can mix it perfectly in acrylics and I love using it in my paintings!

    Moby Dick is my white whale. I enjoy Melville's short works so much, but I have never been able to read the entirety of his most famous work.

    This is such an interesting philosophical quandary. In this limited application, I wonder: What is the concern? Perhaps we can take a step back and think about why we come to this forum. Speaking personally, I want to engage in thoughtful discourse, which seems to be the main reason folks come to tildes. I personally do not understand what someone who fully and copy & pastes from AI into this specific forum would hope to gain, but I tend to be pretty naive. I could be totally missing something! If something fully AI-generated provokes some thought, I am cool with that. I can fact-check AI just like I can fact-check humans.
