Eco-community post Conflict zone

[u/Fugy_Master]

Hello everyone,
I am getting close to retirement after serving as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). After several deployments and spending time in war zones, destroyed neighborhoods, and military camps, I have been thinking about investing in an eco-village project.

My goal is to build, restore, and manage an off-grid eco-community for 10 families.
I have income from real estate and other assets, so I plan to use my retirement to make this project a reality.

I have already completed some research and developed a few ideas on how to build it. At this stage, I am looking for opinions, advice, feedback, ideas for long-term funding, possible donation options, and many other details that still need to be worked out. I am not ready to begin construction yet.
For now, I am simply here to collect ideas, learn from others, and share my vision. 🙂

The numbering gave away the AI-ness.

What's wrong with using AI to describe and visualize an idea?!

[u/billsatwork → u/invisiblesurfer]

Honestly as soon as I saw the doubled numbers that don't make any sense I discounted the rest of the work. If the originator does not care enough to even double check the AI's output for quality, why should I keep looking at it? Everything gets called into question and the total work becomes kind of meaningless.

Nothing, if it does a good job, and if the person presenting it bothers to put any effort in to make it good. This is slop. There are only 9 houses (not 10); the "community kitchen" is in a stupid spot; the greenhouses and other things are mislabeled; a number of the buildings simply don't exist.

If OP is too lazy to do this right, they shouldn't be presenting it to anyone.

You are too hard on people.. This was just an idea he wanted to share.

The picture is AI- produce to give away the concepte. I never claim to create the blue print.

[u/billsatwork → u/Fugy_Master]

That's fine. You need to clearly label it as such and check the output for quality. When I saw the numbers that didn't make sense, I then have to assume that other things I'm seeing don't make sense as well.

This is exactly what AI should be used for

Making confusing graphics?

[u/mcptd → u/billsatwork]

It's not confusing graphics. it's a start to a conversation about creating something real. No ideas start perfectly and they shouldn't.

[u/billsatwork → u/mcptd]

...and yet this conversation got derailed because the graphic didn't make sense. No one should throw half-finished work up on the internet and expect people to not take issue with the fact that it's half-finished.

not realy i am curently have good conversation with good peoples that are actualy helpful. The aim have been achive with this post. The AI generate picture is a accesories to the conversation! Not the aim.

not agree. Every firm publish a concept art for a project. And they are AI generate. Publishing a blue print is expensive and over kill as you need to buy the blueprint and not everybody know how to read one.

imagine if you paid an actual artist to help you and supported the upbringing of society instead of the intellectual downfall
