#WordlessWednesday: 20 Froggies Went to AI School

For Wordless Wednesday, let your images tell the story.

“If we can discover the meaning in the trilling of a frog, perhaps we may understand why it is for us not merely noise but a song of poetry and emotion.” – Adrian Forsyth

    Your photos, always, although the AI generated images would be lovely as illustrations, but credited as such. I still think illustrators have more to fear than photographers from AI content, and writers.

    Such a fun choice for the week Terri, must admit I’d never heard the verse! Loved your frogs and especially loved that you generated one to join us this week!

      Thank you, Tina. I’ve had a draft post with my frog images for a while. This seemed like a good opportunity with the AI and frog season. 💚😂

    I still have some of the Childcraft volumes from when I was a child, mainly those with poems. I can be hard to spot frogs but you did well. The top AI image looks pretty good; the other one is quite obviously AI.

      How cool you have the volumes, Janet. Apparently I colored in the one book, and who knows where they ended up?
      My frogs were lucky catches. The first frog was generated by WordPress, the other two from Copilot, which tends to be more fantasy- based. A fun prompt in which to explore.

    I love frog songs, Terri. Around here, they sing about the weather warming. And I love finding them in my garden. A fun post, my friend.

    Cute pics of frogs, Terri. There is a green frog, (we named it Frankie) that has lived on our balcony for several years. It sings along with the visiting birds, and when it rains. Nature’s symphony.

      Thank you, Eugi. Your little Frankie sounds cute! About 9:30 at night we let our dog out to do his business and we usually hear the frog chorus.

    Gotta love frogs. We were hearing an increase in coquis for a while, but it seems to have dropped off the last few months. Don’t know why, but I’m not complaining. They’re loud!

      You bet, Graham! I didn’t mind the coquis but I don’t live there… I can’t over how tiny they are for how loud they are 🙂

    I like the “real deal” frogs and I like your AI-generated frogs as well Terri. How fun that you have recreated this poem your Mom read to you with the rapt attention of 20 little frogs. 🙂

      Thanks, Linda! It’s easier to make AI-gen frogs than trying to photograph the real ones.

        They are pretty quick-moving, probably more so than birds!

      Thank you, Cathy. The tiny coqui frogs on the Big Islanf of Hawaii are about as big as a coin, but are super loud. Lucky catch.

      Thank you, Donna 😀. Kind of an obscure poem. I think the book was called Childcraft, and filled with these old poems.

      My mom read that poem to us when we were very young as part of a poem anthology she had. I remember so many of them, though not in their entirety. I recall wanting to go to school so bad because of that poem.

    Those AI frogs are cute, and the story line for the last one hit the mark. Still, I prefer your real images, Terri.

      Thanks, John. I used copilot for the professor frog, which came out rather cute. I hear the frogs every night but they sure know how to hide.
