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.

In response to "Human Error and/or Technology?"

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.

Steps?

Prompt: "Celebrate every step you accomplish, even the baby steps because what's truly important is to continue moving towards your dreams." Write about this in your Blog entry today.

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

I'm all for celebrating accomplishments. Such celebrations encourage us to live through the day and even through the harder times.

As to moving toward dreams, to begin with, at my age, I don't dream much. Except, I don't want too many changes or anyone or anything rocking the boat with my status quo. I can, however, understand why taking things step by step can be important toward accomplishing any goal. Those steps can be baby steps if one is easily overwhelmed and loses focus. Otherwise, what's wrong with wide strides, if I know what I am doing?

In the beginning of any project, tiny consistent actions may be the baby steps that the quote is pointing at. Such baby steps are helpful if one is doing something for the first time or learning how to go about it. So instead of being distracted and scared by the bigger picture, one's focus can be on every single small step until a habit on the subject is created.

Also, with small steps, quick adjustments can be made without having to deal with much larger mistakes. This way, with small steps, one can build momentum and omit feeling overwhelmed.

In any case, I don't believe there is any one certain route to handle a project. This is because we are each different people with different needs, likes, and dislikes. Then, each project itself has its own requirements and needs, too.

So, as much as I appreciate the quote and the idea of baby steps, I'm not going to say that baby steps are crucial for everything. If they were, we would be walking, in real life, like babies, and that wouldn't get us anywhere all that easily.
