The way that I got to the page with the translations into English was to go to the first page of the website from the link that is in the news article, then click on the map of Europe, then click on the image of the United Kingdom Flag that is on the page that is then displayed.

I wonder if this is to do with the use of http rather than https.

Can you try this page and the link in it please?

https://lists.aau.at/pipermail/mpeg-ots … 03500.html

and the links to pdf documents links in that referenced archive thread please?

Someone told me of this work some years ago. Here is a recent article.

Please write a sonnet about Counting sheep to go to sleep.


[Bing Chat AI]

Sent by Copilot:
Sure, I’d love to! Here’s a sonnet about counting sheep to help you drift off to sleep:

When night descends and dreams are out of reach,
I close my eyes and count the woolly sheep.
They leap o’er fences, one by one they breach,
A gentle flock that lulls my mind to sleep.

With each soft bound, my worries start to fade,
Their fleecy forms a balm for restless mind.
In moonlit fields, their dance serenely played,
A soothing sight, tranquility I find.

The stars above, like shepherds, guide their way,
Through pastures green beneath the midnight sky.
In rhythmic steps, they keep my fears at bay,
Till slumber comes and bids my thoughts goodbye.

So when the world is dark and dreams are deep,
I count the sheep and softly fall asleep.

I hope this helps you celebrate National Poetry Day and brings a bit of calm to your evening! Do you have a favorite poem or poet?

I have produced a PDF document to display the poem that Bing Chat AI produced.

I have used an A4 canvas and I have arranged the type such that framing an A4 print in one of the Tesco A4 frames that has a mount for a 9 inch by 7 inch photograph, the aperture of the mount being 8.5 inch by 6.5 inch, will hopefully look good, simply by placing the print in the frame with the mount.

I have found that copying the Welsh poem to each of Bing translator and Google translate, there is the facility for the poem to be read out, both in Welsh and English in each translation facility.

Tomorrow is National Poetry Day.
[Bing Chat AI]
That’s right! National Poetry Day is celebrated on the first Thursday of October, which falls on October 3rd this year12. This year’s theme is “Counting,” offering a wonderful opportunity to explore poetry through numbers and patterns3.

Are you planning to participate in any events or perhaps write a poem yourself?

Yes.
Are you planning to participate in National Poetry Day?
[Bing Chat AI]
I don’t participate in events myself, but I love helping people get involved! If you’re looking for inspiration or ideas for National Poetry Day, I can suggest some themes, help you find events, or even assist you in crafting a poem. What would you like to do?
[William]
I am learning Welsh using the free course at duolingo.com and I would like to write a poem in Welsh, but I am still learning.
Can you write a poem in Welsh on the theme of Counting please? A poem that someone learning Welsh can understand.
[Bing Chat AI]
That’s wonderful! Writing a poem in Welsh is a great way to practice. Here’s a simple poem on the theme of “Counting” that should be accessible for someone learning Welsh:

Cyfrif

Un seren yn y nefoedd, Dau law i ddal y byd. Tri phlentyn yn chwerthin, Pedwar coeden yn y gwynt.

Pump aderyn yn canu, Chwech blodyn yn y cae. Saith lliw yn yr enfys, Wyth noson yn llawn sêr.

Naw cam i’r mynydd, Deg stori i’w hadrodd. Cyfrif gyda’n gilydd, Yn y byd rhyfeddol.

Translation:

Counting

One star in the heavens, Two hands to hold the world. Three children laughing, Four trees in the wind.

Five birds singing, Six flowers in the field. Seven colors in the rainbow, Eight nights full of stars.

Nine steps to the mountain, Ten stories to tell. Counting together, In the wonderful world.

I hope you enjoy this poem! Feel free to ask if you need help with any specific words or phrases. Happy National Poetry Day!
[William]
Diolch.
[Bing Chat AI]
Croeso! If you need any more help with your Welsh or anything else, feel free to ask. Pob lwc gyda’ch dysgu! (Good luck with your learning!)[Smiley][Three books]

Tomorrow, National Poetry Day,
I wonder what AI will say,
Counting is the theme this time,
What will AI put in rhyme?

William

Thank you for replying.

It is difficult and sometimes impossible to know that something has not been done before.

I saw this video, which I greatly enjoyed.

It is a rather specialist model railway video with models of some historical railway tank locomotives.

One thing to know is that the colour known as Improved Stroudley Green, which is not green at all, is thought to be because Mr Stroudley had a vision condition and saw it as being green.

I find it interesting that Bing Chat AI gets much of a picture right, but does make a few mistakes.

Bing Chat AI seems to like to produce four jpg images rather than SVG text for other than very basic prompts.

Possibly.

I simply used the names that Bing Chat AI stated in the SVG text.

Here are two images, each on a white background.

The upper image is of the svg text as supplied by Bing Chat AI. The lower image is after I edited it, only swapping the order of the grass and the river.

I tried a few more attempts yesterday. It is as if the AI will do SVG files but really wants to provide four jpg images and sometimes does so even if I have requested an SVG file.

The text of the SVG file is included as provided. I edited it to change the percentage values to their absolute values, as previously.

The illustration, as with the other Abstract Portrait, is on a white surround that is not part of the SVG image as I placed the image on an A3 canvas and then made the image 3600 pixels high by2400 pixels wide, centred it, then exported a png graphic at one seventh size both horizontally and vertically.

Sure! Here’s an example of an SVG file for an original portrait orientation painting. This SVG code creates a simple abstract painting with a few shapes and colors:

<svg width="400" height="600" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <!-- Background -->
  <rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#f0f0f0" />
 
  <!-- Abstract shapes -->
  <circle cx="200" cy="150" r="80" fill="#ff6347" />
  <rect x="100" y="300" width="200" height="100" fill="#4682b4" />
  <polygon points="200,400 250,500 150,500" fill="#32cd32" />
 
  <!-- Text -->
  <text x="200" y="550" font-family="Verdana" font-size="24" fill="black" text-anchor="middle">
    Abstract Portrait
  </text>
</svg>

This SVG code sets up a canvas of 400x600 pixels (portrait orientation) and includes a background, a circle, a rectangle, a triangle, and some text. You can customize the shapes, colors, and text to create your own unique portrait painting. Let me know if you need any adjustments or additional elements!

Sure! Here’s a simple SVG file for an original portrait orientation painting. This SVG creates a basic rectangle with a gradient fill to represent a painting:

<svg width="400" height="600" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="url(#grad1)" />

      <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,255);stop-opacity:1" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>
</svg>

This SVG code creates a 400x600 pixel rectangle with a gradient from white to blue, representing a simple painting in portrait orientation. You can customize the colors, dimensions, and other elements as needed. If you have any specific details or elements you’d like to include, feel free to let me know!

Sure, I can help with that! Here’s a simple SVG file containing some text:

XML

<svg width="200" height="200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <text x="10" y="20" font-family="Arial" font-size="16" fill="black">Hello, SVG World!</text>

AI-generated code. Review and use carefully. More info on FAQ.
You can copy this code into a text editor and save it with a .svg extension. When you open the file in a web browser, you should see the text “Hello, SVG World!” displayed.

If you need any modifications or additional elements, just let me know!

[I extracted the SVG text and saved it in a file named ai005.svg and it worked. Here is a png of what it produced.]
