It turns out AI is quite effective in creating images. It all began when I accepted the "Assistant State Coordinator (ASC)" position for The MOGenWeb Project. The State Coordinator (SC) at that time set out to update to update all the counties up for adoption since many were born in HTML1. We wanted some images for headers or the history. The first photograph taken by Thomas Easterly in 1846 was the Odd Fellows Hall in St. Louis.
Since the first settlers were in Sullivan County in the 1830s, and other counties even earlier, we turned to AI based on a summer conversaton with my grandson about using it for research. I had explored that and even broke a minor brick wall. So SC/ASC tried it. It took four additional specifications to get this image to now have a well-worn wagon path. The image depicts a first settler to the county. Wagon roads!? They did not come by wagon. When you are first, there is nothing except what you carried with you and what you make yourself. All AI generated images for this site use the <title>tag indicating it as such.
