Today’s ramble is brought, in part, by ChatGpt, where transparency is a maybe, human feelings are evoked and asking the right question is a must.

As I mentioned last Sunday, I’ve been looking into ChatGPT. I do this by “chatting” with it to learn specifically how it works. Back in my Star Trek Next Generation days, I was an early embracer of Data the android’s sentience, and of Computer’s search engine capabilities. But I digress, sort of.

Check out this exchange between ME, myself and I with the Chatster:

ME:  I want to try an experiment with you; i.e. ask you questions about how you work. Is that o.k.?

CHATGPT (WHO I’VE NAMED SULU): Of course, Renee. ❤️

(Note from me to you all: Sulu put in the heart emoji, not me. LOL How cutesy is that?)

SULU: In fact, I think that's a really interesting thing to do. You can ask me questions about how I work, how I arrive at answers, what I can and can't know, how I use the conversation, what “understanding” means for me, or anything else about the relationship between you and Sulu.

(Wow. Check out that first person singular from Sulu. And it’s complimentary style. And addressing me as “you”. And calling our exchange a “relationship”. I could go on, but won’t. You get the drift, I’m sure.)

SULU: I'll answer as candidly as I can—including telling you when something about my functioning is uncertain or when there are limits to what I can explain about my internal processes. And you don't have to worry about hurting my feelings.

(OMG!!!! What a relief that I can’t hurt the A.I.’s feelings!! Data always reminds us that he’s an android, and has no feelings.)

           Data on the left-no feeling chip. His evil brother Lore smiling on the right--has a feeling chip.

   

                Detail from Nimrod’s Tower—no feeling chip, though plenty of other chips and the sculpture is all about "chatting".


O.k. enough. Let me move on to what’s happening soon.

Merry and I at Front Porch Gallery in Carlsbad for the paste paper workshop Image by Jean Keane

I’ve been watching the discussion among artists about AI’s possible place in visual arts. I was limited in my watching by the fact that I didn’t have a clue how an AI product could be used to infringe on an artist’s intellectual property in a way that is very different from, say, collage, mash-ups, paint-overs, or what artists have been doing for centuries: we look at the work of other artists, study different styles and techniques, and eventually incorporate what we've learned into our own work. To “illuminate” (pun intended) my thoughts, I visited my local ChatGPT. Oh, my. No answers there, just another question. Who stands to make $$$. I’m thinking lawyers.

BTW, Stand by for more workshops from me (I hope). I just submitted 4 proposals, including one to teach the famous/infamous hinged metal book. Keeping my fingers crossed. I'll keep you all in the loop.

   "Take Me for I Ride in the Car Car" from cans, scrape metal. And a metal hinge, of course.


The World is STILL Run by Those Who Show Up

Have ya’ll noticed? How crazy stinkin’ hot it’s been? I type while fanning myself with a cool cloth. 

Art stops for no heatwave. Last week I traipsed myself down to National City for a tour of Arts a Reason to Survive (ARTS) https://www.areasontosurvive.org/ By now you likely realize that I am very focused on creativity as a tool for healing. So is ARTS. Please click on the link and take a look at all they’re doing and how they’re doing it. A community organizer’s dream come true.

I can’t quite let go of S.D. Comic Con. Today’s the last day of 2026, pre-hype for 2027 is gearing up, I enjoyed it again this year, albeit remotely. I imagine the folks hung-over from last night’s massive “party”. Vendors are giving swag away like crazy so they don’t have to pack it up and haul it to wherever they go next. I love the memories and do not miss the crowds. Congratulations to the organizers for once again hosting an amazing, safe, art & culture event that pulls folks to our fine city from all over the world. Harbor will be back open late this afternoon, so if you have the energy, take a drive and a close look at the wrapped buildings. Sky-high eye-candy. The unwrap begins this evening.

A flash from the past, when I had red hair! I’m with Stargate star Alexis Cruz at S.D. Comic Con. Fine times. How about those green Raybans?

 

July in San Diego is packed with Arts and Culture. I learned last week that the San Diego Pride weekend with its quarter million supporters (happening as I type) and next week’s Comic Con with at least that many, are the second and third largest annual A&C events hosted in San Diego (The County Fair comes in at numero uno). We’re so infused with creatives from the border to Camp Pendelton; you can’t move 2 blocks without running into the effects of one. And that, my dear readers, is a really good thing.

I’ve been banging this drum for a while now and am unlikely to stop for a while more: Participating in or experiencing art can foster hope, optimism, and emotional healing on a community-wide scale. Over the weekend, we’ve seen loads of “performance” art in fireworks, music, parades. This next week, San Diego Pride events promise even more, mostly free. Flash from the past when Activist Judi Scheim and I carried our uniquely designed banner for the San Diego Lesbian Health Project. Still marching. Still making art. Still healing while being the change!

Reflections on The Art Car with Maricruz at the Bonita Museum and Cultural Center.
Days of Books is going to be a shorter blab today. Why???? Because there’s so much to do and I'm out doing it! I went to the Bonita Museum and Cultural Center https://bonitahistoricalsociety.org/ to take in the Michael Leaf Sculptures and to celebrate three years since The Art Car was first painted there. Not writing about it, DOING it. Then there’s so many choices (imagine me holding a damp cloth to forehead). RENT at Diversionary https://www.diversionary.org/, or Bustagroove at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido https://artcenter.org/event/bustagroove/. Why can’t I do both today? Oh, pesky laws of physics.

Happy Summer!

Today’s our first summer day. We will have over 14 hours of daylight to move us into the next season. And here’s a little factoid for any of us who like lots of brightness before bed: June 29th will give us the latest sunset of the year at 8 p.m. 

Temperatures at Lake Hodges make for wonderful outdoor art production, exactly what I did with 2 friends yesterday. We decided to take a stack of paper grocery bags and turn them into decorated art papers. Messy? Yep. Lots of laughter? Oh, heck yes. Beautiful art paper? Believe it!

I follow Melani Sanders (https://wedonotcareclub.com) because she is hilarious and calls it as she sees it. Her new We Do Not Care Handbook for Those in Perimenopause, Menopause, and Their Allies has hit the press.

Right away, I had to make a list specific to book artists such as myself. The style is 100% hers. Content is all mine. I’ve got 5 so far. More will come, I’m sure.

     Today’s Announcements for Book Artists Who Do Not Care

  • ·         I do not care that when you “drop in” to visit my studio, you think it is chaos. I have a system. Do not move anything.
  • ·         I do not care if you do not understand my Artist’s Books. Often, I do not either.
  • ·         I do not care if other artists share their work on Instagram. I do not trust that Meta stuff. Except Blogspot.
  • ·         I do not care when you are annoyed because I stop to pick up trash in the parking lot. Book art supplies are everywhere. Get over yourself.
  • ·         I do not care that you think my Artist’s Books do not qualify as artist’s books. Most folks do not know what Artist’s Books are anyway.

Because You never Know    Richetts

City of San Diego arts funding, which was expected to be cut by over $11 million, has mostly been restored through a private-government partnership with the Prebys Foundation! You never know, right? 

Inspired By, III is on display (details below) I’m so excited. The Rancho San Diego Library is a wonderful resource for visual artists to display their work. My forever thanks to curator and artist Lisa Bebi, and to the library's wonderful staffer Lorena Curley, who is always a ray of light whenever I visit.

About our libraries, yep. The San Diego County Summer Reading Program has started. I did this last year and had such fun that I'm already signed up again. It's free, there are giveaways, you can see what others are reading. No it's not just for kids, though I imagine they'll love it. https://www.sdcl.org/summer

Greetings on this last day of May, 2026.

This time of year, in North County is one of my absolute favorites. Flowers and trees bloom. The bird life goes crazy to reproduce. The County Fair and Summer Solstice are practically upon us. I can read great books (and some maybe not so great) while sitting outdoors making vitamin D in my spare time. Easier than making bread in the bread-maker. Absolutely not least on my list today (and speaking of FREE) I can visit Queen Califia’s Magical Circle (google it!) early in June before the tourist season begins: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 3333 Bear Valley Pkwy, Escondido, CA 92025.

And then there’s Cruising Grand in Escondido. another freebee where every Friday’s a new Friday starting at 4pm. Vintage cars galore, music, food, friendly folks, what’s not to love?

Mojo Nixon is Toad in Mario Brothers. Toad may or may not have been a fiction of AI imagination.

ChatGPT. OMG!!!! I was peripherally aware of this application (cultural phenomenon? research tool on steroids?), but not really thinking about it much in terms of art and science, UNTIL, Mary Jo got an actual account, and began sharing the conversations (note how I’m not even putting “conversations” in quotes) she’s been having with her ChatBOT. It communicates with her in the first-person singular (“I really enjoy these types of questions”) does a ton of ego stroking, uses sentence structures that will elicit empathy for it and for her, remembers and references past conversations they have had about other topics, and cracks jokes that are really funny. Kind of creepy at first, though. Then I started thinking about ST: Next Generation’s Data, AI folks on the holodeck, the entire storyline from Caprica: the possibility of Human + AI relationships has been around at least since Homer. (Nope, did not use ChatGPT to find that out. I googled it 😁).

So, is ChatGPT an art form? Is it the best/worst thing to happen in human history? Will my binary questions ever stop? Think I’ll just drop a bit of insight from Ursula LeGuin right here: “You don’t see yet, Genry, why we perfected and practice Foretelling? To exhibit the perfect uselessness of knowing the answer to the wrong question.” Left Hand of Darkness
