Me on AI, AI on Kindness preview, and Cat Pictures

On my wall, c/o Nat. (Click for larger if you can't read.)

I use ChatGPT a lot, mostly for research and pro/con lists. It makes kinda insane errors, but is generally better than a [classic] Google search. 

But I will repeat: If there is real intelligence, things would work much better.

Not to whine (I won the lottery, I know) but things very often do not work well.

We're not happy about this, but One Step for Animals has advertised on Facebook / Instagram for over a decade. Bazillions* of dollars. Until yesterday, when they suspended our account. Why? Who knows. I'm stuck in an endless loop with, I'm sure, an "AI."

But that's neither here nor there. Tomorrow, I'm going to run a column that ChatGPT wrote, based on some prompts and feedback I gave it. I'm going to run it mostly unedited; you'll see the [] where needed. 

Why? Because I'm very busy trying to fix things that should have just worked.

Until then, some cat pictures:



*OK, maybe an exaggeration. But we've not found a better way to reach people with a pro-chicken message. We are open to suggestions - I'm serious.
