Around 1997, at work, I handled press lists that contained certain data that we received from an office. I transferred the database data into Excel. As a result, the Excel spreadsheet contained many columns that we didn't need for our work and I activated Excel's "record button", which recorded my changes to the original import from the database. Whenever I received a new press distribution list with all the unnecessary data and I activated the recording with my individual manual steps, I then watched the machine delete the unnecessary table columns and I ended up working only with the data I needed for my work. It was great not to have to do this stupid work myself and instead to see the machine do it at super speed. Since this programme did not work in the background but in the foreground, the deleting of the columns was something I could watch on the screen.

I could then visualise the cleansed table on Excel using the graphic functions. At that time, this was available as a curve diagram or as a pie chart in various designs. In other words, I could have the computer calculate a graphical representation from the boring table with table rows and table columns. I can imagine that the possibilities today are much more sophisticated and your playfulness with the programme shows this. Of course, the AI can only come up with the images it already finds on the web. What it doesn't find, it won't be able to show. Which doesn't seem to matter, of course, given the abundance of photographic and artistic material on the web. I wonder if it will send a request to all those who have not copyrighted their work. LOL

Nevertheless, I am a friend of the human being who does not need to transform himself into another being, because I think that in the present organic body, the man still has a lot of potential that he can exploit, he just does not always know it or succeed. Fortunately, I am firmly convinced that if that were the case, I would no longer experience it. I neither exaggerate my joy at progress, nor do I mourn the past excessively. "Humanity" is too big a subject for me anyway, just like "the earth". On the other hand, I love the details and would actually be interested in an application that could spit out my body measurements in 3d in seconds and draw and print a cut according to my ideas.

Like this: Computer, take my measurements and print out a trouser cut with a high waist, a box pleat in the middle of each front trouser cut and trouser legs that taper out tightly. Including inside pockets and a four-centimetre waistband. Add all seam allowances in each case.

I often have design ideas in my head but can't visualise or draw them, but could describe them and then see them suggested by an AI to make further corrections. Of course, this would all be much faster if I were a professional designer and could draw. Then I could save myself all this. On the other hand, most and my best ideas came to me while doing it myself. When I had unravelled second-hand fabrics and then the different parts were lying in front of me and I was thinking about what to do with them.
