Meta’s recently launched AI site has transformed private prompting into a public, social experience, causing both fascination and discomfort among users and experts. As the world’s leading social media company, Meta is experimenting with a Pinterest-like social feed for its Meta AI chatbot, allowing users to share their AI prompts and generated content with the world in just a few clicks. This change marks a significant shift from the traditional, private experience of using generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Claude, where prompts and outputs remained mostly confined to the user unless deliberately shared elsewhere.

An upbeat outlook on AI in art is gaining ground worldwide, and a Miami-based Panamanian photographer recently voiced optimism in a Time interview. By collaborating with AI models such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and Nova, she shows AI can be a creative ally rather than a threat. Over a year, she trained an AI to reflect her artistic sensibilities and organized an interactive exhibition where visitors co-create new works using prompts. A digital, AI-generated video clone of the artist guided the experience, underscoring how technology can expand human imagination. The show runs through May 2025 in Miami and mirrors a broader shift toward human–machine collaboration in the arts.

The ongoing rise of artificial intelligence in art has ignited passionate debate around the world. Yet, in a recent in-depth interview with Time magazine, a Miami-based Panamanian photographer—known for her vivid, maximalist works tying together familial heritage and indigenous Panamanian textiles—chose optimism over anxiety. By actively collaborating with AI models like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and Nova, she demonstrated how generative algorithms could become creative allies, not threats, in the evolution of the visual arts. Not only did she train an AI to replicate her artistic sensibilities over a year, but she also built an interactive exhibition where visitors could use AI to produce new works in her style and even be guided by a digital, video-chat “clone” of herself generated by AI. This groundbreaking exhibition, open until May 2025 in Miami, reflects a growing camp of artists embracing technology to augment human imagination.

A viral push-up challenge has reignited concerns about universal fitness guidelines. Health influencers and social media personalities promote fixed targets that overlook individual needs. The current flashpoint centers on an 11-push-ups benchmark for women, a seemingly simple goal that has spread across platforms like TikTok and sparked debate among exercise scientists and dietitians.

A prominent health influencer recently claimed on a well-known podcast that every woman should be able to do 11 standard push-ups (not the knee-supported version). The discussion prompted waves of online responses, with women sharing success stories or struggles to meet the standard. This moment underscores society’s fascination with clear, measurable health milestones—even when they ignore personal variation and context.

A viral push-up challenge has reignited debate over universal fitness advice as health influencers and social media personalities continue to promote “one-size-fits-all” approaches that oversimplify individual needs. The latest flashpoint centers on an 11 push-ups benchmark for women—an arbitrary fitness goal that has gained traction across platforms like TikTok but is raising concerns among exercise scientists and registered dietitians.

Recently, an orthopedic surgeon and prominent health influencer appeared on a well-known self-help podcast, declaring that every woman should be able to perform 11 standard push-ups (not the so-called “girl push-ups” on knees). The pronouncement sparked a wave of online responses, with women documenting either their success in completing the challenge or their struggles to meet the standard. The viral moment highlights society’s fascination with clear, quantifiable measures of health—even when such goals lack personal nuance or scientific flexibility (Vox).
