Do you remember the Doug Adams’ novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with the talking Babelfish that translated every language? Here we are with today’s ad:
“Say goodbye to language barriers with Talky AI Buds. These earbuds combine premium sound with real-time AI translation, supporting 140+ languages in under half a second. Whether traveling, meeting new people, or chatting with multilingual friends, every conversation feels effortless.

A thought about the ad - why would you “start talking” when the earbuds promise you can listen in your own language. I guess you have to be there.
I was looking for Bonsai images a few days ago and found these from the Minneapolis Botanic Garden. I wondered what to do about the dirty windows in the background. And then I used the “dehaze” slider and the reflection of the conservatory showed itself - like magic. It was fantastic. I used the AI enhancer to add the top of the conservatory in the second picture and it got creative and put on something a big ornate. Not as strange as the other options it offered. I guess I should keep them and show you how AI “works” so you can have the laughs I do.
