Send us a text Welcome to celebrate creativity episode 422 - Dickens and london, part two Sure, Charles Dickens was a master at portraying the poor population of London, often with a mix of stark realism, deep pathos, and sometimes even a touch of grotesque caricature to highlight their plight. He didn't just describe their outward appearance; he delved into their living conditions, their desperation, and their often-fragile hopes. Ah, here is the ghost of Mr. Dickens himself. Would you be...

It is of course the title, celebrate creativity, and an AI graphic rendition from some basic text prompt of a child whose face is full of wonderment and creativity. And I think his expression perfectly captures the wonderment of a child engrossed in creativeness and invention. And I also gave an AI graphics program some te...
