More about A cautionary rocking chair

DDG created this in 32 seconds using an extremely simple prompt. I then posted the image on a site where people were oohing and aahing over an ornately carved fantasy rocking chair that had been listed on Etsy. Naturally, the listing was now defunct.

"Here's my version of the dragon rocking chair. It took an AI 32 seconds to create this image."

"That's a scam method now," someone stated. "People make a 'product' photo using AI, post the 'product' on Etsy, take in money for awhile, then disappear."

I enjoy working with technology as it develops. And, I guess, I feel a duty to try to bring credulous people like my relatives up to speed.
