where I can actually create much better collages just with a text prompt than anything I’ve tried to do so far.

This is an absurd statement (sorry for being blunt). Your collages are great precisely because they are created by you. It's the person that's interesting, not an arrangement of images in a square. You are an interesting, complex human. Your collages always say something. Sometimes they are grotesque, dissonant. You juxtapose elements that ordinarily don't go together because you are making a statement.

I really don't care what AI has to say about life, or war, or pets. But you are interesting. I know there has been a falloff in participation. But I'm still here, every day, and I'm hoping more people will discover the rather unique pleasure of making a collage.

Thank you very much for finding the time to participate this week.
