What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?


Happy Anniversary!

Unnerving is an understatement. Where the heck was this when I was in college 😂.

I know 😄

Actually I became more aware of this Chatgpt in a conversation with my daughter last week.

She is in college and sort of “confessed” to me using it to help her study. She sounded conflicted and sort of indirectly looking for my advice.

She told me how stressful is to complete the reading assignments of entire books.

So what a lot of students do is load the entire book on ChatGPT and request a summary of the main ideas … then focus on studying and learning the summary in preparation for a test rather than having to read the whole book.

It’s unnerving for sure.
The world is moving too fast.
I try to resist this by valuing tradition, family and time in the outdoors close to nature.

Now we have to question whether anything is real. With AI you can generate any kind of image you want, any kind of video that makes it look like someone is saying or doing anything you want. Aside from the academic issues, this will be weaponized in politics, and the low information voters will believe anything they see. And anyone who holds a grudge against you can create images or content that can get you arrested.

It seems that French is winning out this week.

That's kinda scary. And it's just the start. There have been numerous books & movies about AI "assisting" us in the last 40 years or so, and none of them have turned out good for humans.
