ai helped me with the art

So I realized when I posted a link to this site on mastodon for the first time that the social preview stuff is left to do. A bit tedious but also nice when it works. So then I though that I’m not up for going through all posts and deciding what image to use so why not have a default fallback. Also useful when there is no obvious image related to the post. So what to do? I decided to ask dalle what could be done about it and got this image. My prompt: a default image that can be seen in thumbnails when previewing the website mazin.cc on social media

Pretty neat and I will use it as favicon also. This is the suggested attribution: Generated with AI ∙ January 19, 2024 at 3:10 AM. I read a bit in the terms and as I understand it Microsoft may use this for whatever they want so whenever they start doing that - lol - I can always change it to something else….

Coming up next: how to make a preview for mastodon.

Update October 2024: a new company was created and a new logo found. And I did throw away this AI thing.
