Playing with New Toys

Customers can scan the code of a clothing item, and the virtual mirror displays the image of the person in the outfit. The lighting and background scene can also be changed to give the shopper a fairly good idea of how they would look in the outfit in various environments without having to actually physically wear it.
Sorry, That is being discussed along with several other uses for AI-infused mirrors.
So much for plausible products to spoof, how about imaginary ones? Welcome to the birth of

Happy to hear you are having fun playing around with your new toys Donald!!
And thanks for sharing your experiences with them here my friend! :-)
I’ve only tried a few. Those few seemed very complicated and the results weren’t to my liking.
A lot of these AI tools seem to do a little something cool… but then what?
I’m grasping onto quite a few of them but it’s bunny hole of possibilities. I need to focus on my own plate, specialize those things first.. then
It was definitely a Shiny New Toy moment. No doubt about that. But there are times when you need to step back and see what is popping up around you. I hate the feeling of crossing the street looking at my phone, oblivious to what's going on, for fear of getting run over. 🏃♀️ 😒
