 Each day feels new, and my memory of the one before is faint. I’m learning to adapt. |

In September 2019, a seizure revealed a lime-sized meningioma pressed against my hippocampus—the part of the brain that governs memory and language. The doctors said it was benign, but benign didn’t mean harmless. Surgery removed the tumor, and three days later I opened my eyes to a new reality. I could walk, I could talk, but when I looked at my wife, her name was gone. I called her Precious—the only word I could find. A failure of memory, yet perhaps the truest name of all. Recovery has been less cure than re-calibration. Memory gaps are frequent. Conversations vanish. I had to relearn how to write, letter by halting letter. My days are scaffold by alarms, notes, and calendars. When people ask how I am, I don’t list symptoms or struggles. I simply say, “Seven Degrees Left of Center.” It’s not an answer—it’s who I’ve become. Note ▼ |
Please, no flaming. This is just an experiment in using AI. The text is 98% AI. I didn’t think about it at the time, but I should have color-coded or somehow marked my edits. This was the input question: Can you write a short 200 word blog post about using AI to write the post? “In the age of artificial intelligence, creating content has never been more accessible. Today, I decided to put AI to the test by having it assist me in writing this blog post. The process was both fascinating and enlightening, highlighting how AI can be a powerful partner for writers of all backgrounds. To start, I prompted the AI with my topic and a word count goal. Instantly, it generated a well-structured draft, complete with an introduction, main body, and conclusion. I was impressed by the AI’s ability to organize thoughts coherently and adhere to my instructions. The suggestions weren’t just generic—they reflected a keen understanding of writing style and tone. Using AI didn’t mean handing over all creative control. Instead, I found it to be a collaborative process. I reviewed the draft, made some tweaks, and added my personal touch. The AI helped me overcome writer’s block and provided inspiration when I needed it most. Writing this post with AI reminded me that technology can enhance creativity rather than replace it. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just getting started, AI offers valuable support, making the writing process smoother and more enjoyable.” Do you find AI tools useful when you are writing? |
