If you can believe it, today is Day 16 of the #WP20 From Blogs to Blocks campaign, twenty days of celebrating WordPress and the WordPress community leading up to the 20th Anniversary of WordPress. Only four days of prompts left!
Design: Use a visual AI generator to create an inclusive WordPress-themed image, then enhance it with your own designs. Share your creation wherever you like (website, social media, digital art account, etc.), tag it #WP20, and post the link in the comments.
Photograph: Take a picture of a subject that you think could never be enhanced or augmented with AI. Submit it to the WordPress Photo Directory. Once it’s approved, share the link to your photo in the comments (if it has faces in it, post it on social and link to that).
Contribute: Download an AI-based plugin from the WordPress Plugin Repo and test it out. Post your thoughts on your preferred social media account and share a link to your post in the comments.
