Is This the Start of a Story of Just My Life?

It's amazing the different kinds of people there are in the world. I've found some will attack kindness and praise the deranged, sympathize and understand them. Putting themselves in danger, but its ok because there are those faithful kind souls who will make things better, or at least, ok again. The clueless, if I can think of a better word I'll change it, wander through life and people as if nothing will hurt them, no matter how far they go.

I don't understand it, any of it. But, I'm clueless too I guess. I think people should be good, to each other, to the planet and all life on it. Up until they (a person) act mad and destroy life, as if it has no importance at all. I just think that's wrong. But, there are enough people in my life who make me question all of that. Am I foolish? Am I too moral? Am I setting myself up as a never ending victim for all those people who are more than willing to take everything I have?

The clueless are so blindly certain about everything, it makes me doubt myself. Are you confused? Well, then we both are.

After years of feeling there was something drastically wrong with me, I began to see a different sort of person. People who do not attack or blame others for everything. Everything, almost literally. Bad weather should be beyond most human control and yet... they can make you feel responsible somehow. With so many years of training it just takes one sigh, the repeating of a few words in just that way. I am to blame, I'm hopeless, when will I ever get it right?...

So there I am, among the clueless, always at fault, always the one to somehow fix things, and always clueless myself to understand how all of this works.

Words Turn

There are two sides to an issue. The words used to debate one can be turned and used to debate the other.

Something I thought about today.

Writing is an Art With Good Spelling

Writing is an art with good spelling.

Did anyone else ever say it? It doesn't seem likely that its just me. But, so far, it is.

I first used this as my subheader/ tag line for the Canadian Spelling blog. I still have the domain but the site isn't up.

AI for Writing and Irresponsibility

I'm surprised (and not surprised) by how many people use AI for making/ writing anything. Kind of amazing how quickly its becoming common use. Like bottled water and cell phones. Almost overnight "everyone" uses them.

AI is great for mass producing/ marketing but pretty useless for any real information. AI just repeats what it finds and has no sense of what is safe, real, harmful, factual, true etc. Of course nothing original or unique comes from an AI - it can't.

Plus, it doesn't have to care. In writing its a sure sign of someone out to make a buck and not caring what slop they publish. I'd consider AI for making a website, the mechanics of putting a site together, but not for images I add. Those would just be copied from someone else without them knowing. I haven't tried it for a site yet.

I won't use AI for one single word I write. I write for myself, and anyone else who wanders by, but mainly I want to write - me, my voice, my thoughts, my responsibility.

If an AI writes for you - you have no voice and you likely think using an AI is an excuse should something you write be questioned. "I didn't write it, the AI did, I'm blameless". I wonder how long that will work for people using an AI.
