Family Stuff is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Cards on the table: I started out using ChatGPT to generate images as a joke, or a sort of funny experiment to see how it depicted families, but now I’m kind of getting into it.
