what the tech could be good for is say a quadriplegic being able to ask the TV for a show (we have do have that to some degree) maybe with care it could be adapted to more precise interactive tech for handicapped people. but not to take over our lives for pete's sake 🤷 (and sorry for the rant) 😜

the olde fashioned approach is to write it down. really don't need ai I've recently noted adds for AI products are out of touch with daily reality for all but the ultra rich. While jogging in the Hills outside Palo Alto(?) need one's glasses to book a massage. (cont)

Remember this? Talking with your mouth-hole? Making plans and keeping them? Real socializing. I like computers, use one every day, but having this tiny and invasive machine plastered to me at all times? No. (the article has nothing to do with Tarot btw. I get her newsletter :)

many things that are worthwhile take time and effort. it's pure hubris to think we can build a machine that can "summarize" the vast complexity of creation.

from the comments: "figuring out exactly how to explain your thoughts helps you understand exactly what your thoughts are. When we cede any part of that process to AI, we lose an opportunity to truly reflect on our own thoughts and ideas and, in turn, begin to lose ourselves." spot on!
