Living with AI

Morning Kings and Queens,
I’m standing here on this tube thinking about doing more and better.
Getting to a landmark birthday has always been challenging for me. It makes me think about what I have, what I would like and what I need. They are all very different. I used to work with a fitness instructor who said my problem was that I worked hard but not smart. Took me a minute to understand what he meant.
I’ve decided to carry out an experiment!!
I have a real problem with AI. It is only a matter of time before we are confronted by the singularity. This is where computers rule the world. I’ve watched the films 😝
Recently there was a chess match where when the computer realised that it was going to lose, it turned itself off. Think about that for a minute. It’s already been used in combat and operates without a heart. I can imagine it determining that if there is below a certain percentage point of survival, money is wasted on particular types of procedures.
That said, it’s doing amazing stuff in things like spinal injuries and seems to be everywhere without people actually realising. We now need to verify [to a robot] that we are not robots by ticking boxes.
Anyway, this train is moving rather quickly so I’ll cut to the  quick.
After watching a YouTube video, I decided to download an AI App and asked about paying my mortgage, feeding my ungrateful children and maintaining the lifestyle choices of a WAG.
It was amazing!!! I didn’t give it a time frame but it was very impressive.
From January I am going to try it for a year.
Why January? Well it will take a little bridging and time planning. It will take time to re set my mind.
Interestingly having a regular blog is on the list. 🙌
Does anyone know a youngster who is doing some form of media course?  It will mean editing audio and video clips, maybe coming to a few comedy shows and some odd times. There is money, not a lot though.
The turnaround will need to be quick because apparently this is essential. I’ll also be doing a series of online shows similar but not exactly like #nojoke.
Ever thought about resetting? How did it go? What stopped you?
I’m nervous and excited. What ideas do you have for me? Be kind 😝
