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.

Changes and Adjustments

Prompt:
What is a significant life change you've recently experienced and how has it impacted your daily life?
Write about this in your Blog entry today.

--------

Each morning itself, when I wake up, is a tiny but significant life change. It is always surprising to find myself still alive and I'm thankful for that. Not that I expect for myself anything nasty or even splendid to happen to cause a major life change.

Frankly speaking, I am done with any major life changes at this time. My husband's passing after our 54 years of marriage five years ago and my cat's sudden death in August 2024 were very significant in my life, and to this day, they still have a serious impact. Yet, life is good and I have my two wonderful sons and the things I do that keep me happy enough and occupied, too, and sometimes over-occupied, to boot.

Then, any change, positive or negative, can have profound effects on us. Yet, we have to deal with their inevitability. In addition, while they can be challenging, changes also present opportunities for personal growth and transformation.

It is true that, some negative life changes can affect our health and social relationships. The ability to find support and see these changes as stepping stones, however, can lead to understanding who we are and how we can overcome such difficulties and even become stronger in the process.

So for now, I'm not expecting any serious, positive or negative life changes. But then, who knows what lies ahead in the future, as life has a way of keeping us on our toes, all the time.

As such, each year, where I live, the hurricane season makes me jumpy enough, anyway! And that's more than enough excitement.
