A note from LoveLetterist:

Articles about tech addiction

and the impending challenges of AI

are popping up

like spring daffodils

in my awareness.

I believe the challenges are quite real.

As a content creator, who regularly adds drips to the sticky web that catches many, I sometimes wonder if I am part of the problem. 🤔

Then I remember...

that every man must decide for him(her)self

whether to mindlessly stream

or

to use their tools

to build

something

better.

I’m much more attracted as “time keeps on “slippin’ slippin’ into the future” by speakers and writers that keep their focus on our connections-with all of Nature including our fellow humans. Deep Fake refers to AI generated personas (appearance and voice) used to deceive folks for a variety of reasons. If one notices the second word in the previous sentence, that seems a broad brush description of AI.

A friend pointed out that with AI, I could send an AI message and the receiver could respond with AI... basically removing human to human connection from the interaction.

Instead of I/Thou... this becomes an I/It interaction.

From my perspective, God/Love is completely left out of the equation.

I suspect the Great Mystery might weigh in if we proceed with an I/It mindset.

Psst! Nia! I have a castle song tucked into my sentimental jukebox. You’re always free to look around. Moody Blues. “And the tide rushes in, And washes my castles away, And I really just don’t know, On which side of the bed I should lay.” Not suggesting that brick castle could be in danger, but I’ve known contractors that suggest building a foundation on sand might be classified as having “latent structural defects.” 😳

Keep an eye on Henny. She’s looking at the castle like she thinks it’s a fine cake! Perhaps an AI Deep Fake cake?!

Oh boy!

There's a cascade of mystery in this comment Gary!

And I wouldn't put it past Henny to taste a sand cake.
