Why would I want to ask AI about myself?

Trust me, I’m really not that narcissisistic. But I am curious.

Times have definitely changed quickly within the online space. Search Engine Optimization or SEO was once gold for online creators. Put in the proper keywords and learn the algorithm and you could be first on search engines like Google or Yahoo.

While SEO isn’t completely dead, it has been replaced at the top of the search engine output by an Artificial Intelligence or AI summary of the search term. Essentially, what you search for is what is now known as an AI prompt. The output isn’t always fantastic but it usually is fairly accurate with links on the side to show where the sources of the output came from.

By

Why is it that we are constantly putting off the things we want to do most? I can’t work out today because I have to take the kids to practice. I can’t read this book because the dishes have to be done. It’s true, life might be busy and many of us seemingly don’t have the free time, but the necessary stuff seems to get done. We keep kicking the can down the road, however on the things truly make us feel alive.

Depending upon where you look there are different definitions of the various generations from the most current, Gen Alpha, going all the way back to what we definite as the “Greatest Generation” who were born generally in the first 25 years of last century. One constant throughout the last 125 years seems to be that the generations change with technology. Since technological changes have seemed to grow exponentially, it’s no surprise that current generations are defined by a shorter time span (~12 -14 years) versus older generations which tend to be about 20 – 25 years long.

By
Boat in Cape Cod

For many years I was the quintessential travel snob. You know the type.

“I’m not a tourist, I’m a traveller!” That’s right, with two “L”s! “Oh you went to Florida on vacation? That’s cute, I LIVED in Florida and I TRAVELLED to Australia,” I would quip. “I don’t go on tour groups. When you really learn to travel you won’t have to.”

I still don’t go on tour groups.

You can do it! Almost time to relax! At work today you took on that co-worker thats always trying to one-up you.  After painstakingly looking over every detail of a presentation from the colors to just the right serif font, you are sure you have held him off for now in the race for the next promotion.

You would have had time to revel in that victory if the idiots on the road home didn’t almost make you miss the daycare pickup time. Luckily being stuck in traffic gave you plenty of time to get amped up over the latest atrocity happening in the political world. You are going to protest this weekend. Hopefully the weather holds out.  

Thats when your mother calls telling you that your sister quit her job and you need to be looking out for her cause she can’t take care of herself and would it kill you to show up to Sunday dinner once in a while?
