Lyn's a Witchy Woman

So true! Ai uses what there is on the web whether it is right or wrong. And as of last year, it only dug in to the articles that were put online until 2021 or so. I don't think they updated anything. I know this from my son, who works on and from his computer most of the time. The thing is, when asked a question and it answers it, it doesn't tell you from where it got the info. So you never know the source. How can anyone trust Ai is beyond me. Maybe it has some use in big business or in programming, which neither interest me in the first place.

I believe in doing things myself as well, I avoid Ai as much as possible. Nor do I trust anything that comes out of the Cheetos mouth.

I'm very concerned at how many experienced people are being forced out of their jobs and replaced with people who are clueless or with Ai.

Yes, the old=fashioned ways are more comfortable, at times; however, I can also appreciate technology. What I don't like is everyone's jumping in headfirst into its waters, without knowing that there may be monsters waiting in there with their mouths open, and not getting trained enough and not training their employees well enough.

Joy, you bring up a good point about AI. Yes, it's an emerging technology and it needs to be better policed, JMHO. I think there's something to be said about doing certain things the old fashioned way - yourself. This way, the internal reward is more satisfying.

Lol! I hadn't heard about the one that blamed DEI, Obama, or Biden.
Yes, most airplane accidents they think happen because of pilot error. Given the weather was so bad, it could be just that the pilot goofed with the air space. They should make pilots take extra courses every year, if that might help at all.

I was an Army helicopter pilot for over 20 years and have actually flown that corridor. I'm sure that the pilot erred. He wasn't in the airspace allotted to him. I'm also sure that it wasn't DEI, Obama, or Biden. That's just ignorance and stupidity talking.

Jane Austen was beautiful and gave her characters a great ending. I enjoyed your take on this quote. A good entry.

6 inches of snow ❄️ here in Mississippi,yeah winter is a bit tough here too. I enjoyed your analogy of winter darkness vs candle 🕯️ brightness 🌻. It seems through the ages folks were going through the same reality.
We can't wait till spring and the sun's warm rays!
Thanks for the link, saved it and will check it out tomorrow.

Winter has been rough. Lighting candles could bring luck but I wouldn't want to try it. This quote was interesting. Good entry.

Big-hearted People

Prompt: Big-hearted People
What makes a person lovable and with a big heart? Do you have such people in your life and what would your descriptions of them be like?

------------

If "with a big heart" means someone who loves everyone as they are--that is, without judgment or expectation and with total forgiveness--I don't know anyone like that. I mean everyone has a boiling point. Even God doesn't like trespassers, for what little I know. On the other hand, I came to know many fantastic people, some of them in my extended family, and they, too, could take only so much nasty stuff.

To me, based on one of my uncles who I thought was a saint in disguise and lovable and big-hearted, such a person has to be authentic, first. This means, again to me, a person who has humility and no need for validation or recognition. Then, such a person is loyal, at least to his loved ones, and encouraging, while being positive and joyful. He also doesn't hold grudges and understands that all humans can and are bound to make mistakes. Thus, he forgives easily and encourages healing.

Above all, he has resilience and is strong in hard times and lifts others up in every way he can. This is because he is endowed with empathy and understanding and is very generous with his time, love, and support. Better yet, he cares about others without expecting anything in return. This type of kindness in such a person is deeply ingrained in who he is.

I should really say, "in who he was." Unfortunately, that uncle of mine passed away in 1990. I talked about him here, because while I was growing up, he became someone I wanted to emulate, at least a tiny bit; although, I knew then and I still believe now that he was inimitable and the "only" one of a kind.
