What I use AI for
Is the same thing I used magazines for
It used to be, and still exists at Barnes and Noble, the magazine rack.
From time to time, you just wanted a little novelty in paper form on some matter that you would like to learn a little bit from the magazine rack.
Gossip. Celebrities. Archeology. Business Titan. New Movie releases and the creators behind them. Fiction anthologies. Fashion (yawn).
The headline and the picture got you sucked into the mystery.
AI replaces this.
Look, the titans of Silicon Valley have already looted and plundered our entire history, culture, and habits. By defining everything as a commodity, it has no value, and should be free like water (except for the service they are offering).
That’s a lot of value being overlooked and left untapped if you use AI for joy. Not work. Yes, you can have fun exploring with the cheapest study mate modern civilization can produce.
Many of the critics are negative AI for reasons that I believe are Straw Man arguments.
Use it to ask questions, and you can read and talk to it. Learn a new language.
It has a voice to text featuere. Or clarify something that is nagging you.
It may give you an average answer, but sometimes that is okay. Not everything needs to be the best, nor should it.
For some reason, in my feed, Hardy Boys is trending. And I’m not sure why, so I asked AI…
If I searched for it, I would get a AI summary and links to dive into but will then be led to more pages and more searching and of writing skill or environment that makes me lose the fun quickly.
With AI, I can go on tangents like Stephen King just ripped off Hardy Boys and added ghosts…
And now it gets interesting: instead of waiting years for a show of your favorite book to get made (and turned into crap) or spending 15 minutes flipping through YouTube or Netflix, I just created my own novel for lunch.
This is how modern executives greenlight projects anyway. We have been shoehorned into what has, but not what can be…
AI is going to get us and keep us in the 21st century by pushing the boundaries of our culture, as is well documented.
That is, if we accept the future and not fear it. In capitalism, what works and what works at a fraction of the price will eventually triumph.
There are some amazing opportunities, and I will go further for subscribers below.
But don’t you worry I’ll be sharing a lot of wonderful things that you MUST be using darling with AI to have yourself a merry ‘ole day.
