Turn Your Weather into Poetry with GenAI

/ / No Comments
I was struggling to get some real, productive work done (I just got back from a trip in Europe) and I thought I’d tackle something that’s been in my queue for a little while now. This is, yet again, one of my "bad ideas" that you should probably not ever use in production, but it was fun, it made me happy, and you get to see the kind of silliness I do when I’m trying to distract myself. The idea was simple – given a forecast, how well could generative AI transform it into something more fun, like poetry? As I usually do, I opened up Google’s AI Studio and tried it there first. I began with a system instruction: Given a forecast, rewrite it in poetry. Return... more →

This relied on a recipe actually using JSON-LD in the header to describe itself, which is pretty common for SEO purposes. Still, I was curious as to how well generative AI could solve this problem. In theory, this could be a good ‘backup’ in cases where a site wasn’t using JSON-LD and a general exploration of ‘parsing’ a web page into data. I’ll be using Google Gemini again, but in theory, this demo would work in other services as well. Here’s what I found. Converting a Web Page into Structured Data In order... more →

This week the European Space Agency released the first full-color images from the Euclid telescope. Euclid is a space telescope (situated in a halo orbit at an average distance of 1.5 million kilometers beyond Earth’s orbit) which has been tasked to explore dark energy and dark matter. The telescope is capturing highly detailed astronomical images across a large area of the sky. The first five Maps Mania… more →
