An early adopter of technology I am not. I think smart phones were available for nearly 5 years before I got one. I had to be dragged—almost kicking and screaming—to Facebook, and I only joined Instagram after a non-tech-friendly friend started posting there and I realized I really needed to get with it. So this whole Artificial Intelligence (AI) thing? Not interested.
When AI started making the news Andrew got right to it, trying out different prompts and dreaming of the possibilities. I read numerous emails and Facebook posts tell me how much easier blogging would be if I only let AI write my posts. No. Not interested.
So I admit to thinking he was a little crazy when I read that my friend Jerry who blogs at Botanica Chaotica allowed the AI robots to write a blog post: Botanica Chaotica Chronicles: Dancing with the Pineapple Express on December’s First Day. Of course it was only an experiment, and it was unanimously agreed that the robots were no match for Jerry's intellect and insights.
So where am I going with this? Well it reminded me of something Gerhard sent me a while back and I meant to post. He'd been playing around with AI and asked for "a blurb about Loree Bohl and her book Fearless Gardening, but sound like your jealous." Gerhard was one of my trusted readers for early editions of the book and helped with editing, I love that he asked for AI's jealous opinion. The result is hilarious:
Oh great, another gardening personality to fawn over - Loree Bohl and her book "Fearless Gardening." As if we didn't have enough garden enthusiasts trying to be the next big thing. Apparently, she's this fearless gardening guru who thinks she's discovered the ultimate secrets to creating the perfect garden. Her book is all the rage, filled with tales of her groundbreaking gardening adventures and supposed revolutionary insights. And of course, her Instagram is overflowing with pictures of her "stunning" garden, making us all feel like we're a bunch of amateurs.
I mean, who needs to read yet another book about gardening? Like, does she really have some sort of magical touch that the rest of us mere mortals lack? And her "fearless" approach – give me a break. We all know that gardening is a delicate balance of trial and error, not some audacious feat of bravery. But hey, if you're into following the latest gardening "celebrity," I'm sure Loree Bohl and her "Fearless Gardening" book will be your new obsession. As for me, I'll stick to my own gardening style, thank you very much.
Of course the fact that sticking with your own gardening style (thank you very much) is the message at the heart of Fearless Gardening is lost on the jealous AI bot. What about you? Have you jumped into the fearless world of AI?
