Spring time makes me want to remember my camera more often. This happens sometimes, but the light is perfect when i am alone and i have forgotten all my other extraneous goals. I have been thinking a lot about AI, and how we are so easily trapped into the easiest route possible. You can already look anything up on google, but to add an entirely new layer of AI ‘thinking’ and your own deductive reasoning seems like a slippery slope. I will admit… as much as I attempt to distance myself, there is no denying the integration of Chat GPT with our menial (workday) tasks. The PCS plaque inscriptions that were dropped on my lap? please, gpt, go ahead. Or proof reading/refining a memorandum I have little personal ties with? sure. This frees up my own time, and trust me, a bn adj has plenty to start. You see how this becomes quite the sprawl? I have drawn a line, albeit in the sand, that I won’t be using AI in my personal life, because these are the things that bring me joy and make me human- so why replace them with a robot? I will begrudgingly admit robots can sound a lot better than I can on paper, but isn’t that the point we have to hold on to? I, a 26 year old, do not need my life utterly optimized. I am OK with typos in a few emails, imperfect paragraphs, and poor personal scheduling (get off my feed, motion app!!) I saw someone moan on instagram “I want AI to do my dishes and laundry so I have time for writing and art, not AI taking over my writing and art, so I have time for laundry and dishes”. Its good to remind myself its OK to slow down and my mistakes are ok, because it reminds me I am human.
