When a Fancy Art Prompt Accidentally Summons the Internet After Dark
A dramatic interior scene rendered with elongated, elegant figures posed in subtly unnatural postures, their gestures expressive and slightly tense.

The Firehose and the Thimble
AI can generate a thousand lines of code before you finish your coffee. It can draft documentation, tests, diagrams, marketing copy, and a small novella about ducks who learn DevOps.

The Patience of Working With AI (and How to Make It Behave)

How Large Can AI Prompts Be (and Should They Be That Large)?
Large AI prompts can be a blessing and a curse. Some AI models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4, can process up to 25,000 tokens, equivalent to about 18,000 words. That’s a lot of room for creativity, data, and nuance. Other models might have smaller capacities, such as 4,000–8,000 tokens. So yes, the limit does differ from model … Read more
