Internet ADHD?

 I don’t have ADHD, but sometimes I feel like I have some unique form of Internet ADHD. 😧 I have a hard time staying focused on reading a Kindle book because I end up feeling compelled to go look at other stuff or play app games or whatever.  The internet and devices put an over abundance of content in my hands and I have a really hard time staying focused on what I actually want to stay focused on.  I don’t know if this experience has anything to do with, or is similar to, ADHD but it’s the best way that I can think to describe it.  It’s not easy for some people to live with the over abundance of information and content of the 21st century.  I am evidently one of these people.  I never used to have trouble staying focused on things before there was this whole world of content to think about and have my attention distracted by.  It can all be overwhelming and wreak havoc with my ability to stay focused on things that I want to stay focused on. 🤯

No More Memes

Image
 I won’t be able to generate any more images or memes from the SpaceArt (formerly DeepArt) app.  My months of still having free use of the app after my subscription expired last December have come to an end.  I was never going to renew it because of the cost and especially not now that the price has gone up even more.  Fortunately, I have a lifetime membership to another app that includes image generation so I can still generate AI images from there when I want images of things.  It is very nice to not have to look for some stock photo or “borrow” some image from the Internet when I want an image of something.  There just won’t be anymore perplexing and surprising memes from SpaceArt.  And if I didn’t already receive enough to be convinced that things with AI are really strange, then I will never be convinced.  There were a lot of things that were beyond explanation that I received from the SpaceArt app as was also the case with the Chat AI app an...
