It will get in front of somebody who will love it, and their appreciation might surprise you. And who doesn't like it also might surprise you. But don't be too worried about conforming to a certain approach because one size doesn't fit all. Everyone has a place at the table." – Molly Rose "Use AI to show stuff that you would do. Generate images to show stuff that you would do." – Molly Rose   Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.
