Wishing all our clients and collaborators best wishes for the holiday season!
As a bit of fun, the image you see above was generated by Google’s Gemini AI with this prompt:
Create a cartoon-style image of a web developer hard at work, coding a website. It’s late at night. He has a Santa hat on, and a Christmas jumper. A mince pie is on his desk, and some discarded sweet wrappers. He’s middle-aged, white, with dark hair and spectacles. He has two monitors in front of him, one of them showing a code editor and the other one a website under construction. He’s typing on his keyboard. There is a mouse on the desk as well, and an empty coffee cup.
It looks a little like me in a way, although I wasn’t really aiming for that. Crucially, no mince pie on my desk would stay uneaten for very long!
2024 has certainly been the year that AI became a reality for many of us. While we’re scrupulous about not incorporating AI output into our client creative work, it’s proved itself very useful for debugging problematic code, polishing up tricky emails and demonstrating to clients how copy could be shorter and punchier. The genie is definitely out of the bottle…
However you’re spending it, we wish you a calm and relaxing festive season, and look forward to catching up in the New Year!
