I am rebuilding the website with one that does not rely on dynamic content (for now). Hansel pics will be back soon.
In general I will be using real pets. However if I can generate an AI pet that looks like a real pet and cute, I will use that in a post, but I will make it clear that it is an AI image with a watermark. I think every image that is AI generated so be clearly stated as such. I will make a post on my thoughts on AI in general.
I would live a AI pet that is almost exactly like a real pet. However, animals need homes and I do not want an AI dog or cat that is too realistic. Mostly the need for constant exorcise and waste cleanup. An AI pet you could put in a sleep mode and not worry about it when you are on vacation. Also they would probably be more acceptable as a service pet and not have to worry about hotels that do not allow pets. I am not sure if an emotional connection could be made with an AI. That would need research.
Anyway that is it for now
