Re: CCG mascot?

I like the new cite, though I’m somewhat uncomfortable with vibe AI programming approach as I’m generally uncomfortable with the overblown hype around LLMs. When someone who really knows the expected outcome is proofing it, it can be helpful (LLMs). And here that’s true.

I really like the suggestion that we live up to our principles and "we might consider ways in which we can donate to the arts in order to keep our personal morals and industry ethics intact.”  I strongly support that action.

All credit goes to Midjourney (AI) and, really, the hundreds of
thousands of artists it trained on. :)

That artwork, nor the vast majority of the new CCG website content, is
mine -- vibe coding is a slippery slope -- I'm just giving general
direction, reviewing the output, and ensuring it aligns w/ what this
community has been doing over the past 11 years. This is an
experiment, and if we decide to go with the outcome, we might consider
ways in which we can donate to the arts in order to keep our personal
morals and industry ethics intact. There's an argument for fair use in
the text content generated for the CCG website... the same probably
doesn't hold for the mascot.

... and that's not an invitation to have a debate about the morality
and ethics about vibe coding and the generation of art; this mailing
list isn't the venue for that -- just trying to not take credit for
other people's work, whoever they might be. :)
