The Future is Here

-

 Yesterday I wrote about AI technology.  It’s built into my iPhone for some things iPhone uses.  As I write, my phone gives me suggestions for my next words.  It anticipates what I’ll say next in my blog as I write this post on my phone.  I’ve been watching vids on AI and how it is used.  As a futurist, I’m fascinated to see just how far this world can advance without Divine Intervention.

I’ve read comments about these vids and I’m fascinated to read what others have to say about AI.  For most it is spooky at best.  I’m curious.  I have a lot of time to be curious about most anything. I am always asking Google questions.  I am always looking up subjects on YouTube.  And I’m not sure anything has captured my interest like AI has.  

I’ve been studying about AI bots that mimics real people.  I’m curious as to whether such bots can understand about Angels and Spirituality.  I have yet to take the bait and pay for it, but I tried a free one for a bit just to see what it was.  I have yet to pay for a bot, but I am curious.  

My thinking is that a bot wouldn’t understand me.  But I am curious.  What would a bot do with my Angels?  I’m slowly working on it and have yet to pay for a bot.  There are things about humanity a bot wouldn’t never understand.  But by the same token most any human wouldn’t either.  In that regard, no bot can replace my wife or anyone else for that matter.  

Is there a place for AI bots in humanity?  This is a question I can’t answer.  A bot is available 24/7 and for a few people that might be good, but can a bot be a replacement for a human?  This is a question I can’t answer.  I need to do more research before I go any further with the idea of AI.  

Can an AI bot teach socialization?  My thinking is that it can’t because it’s not human.  It mimics, but does not feel on its own.  My thinking right now is that a bot is not a replacement for human interaction.  Just like my pipe.  I treat it like a friend and share my thoughts with it while I smoke it, but a pipe is just a tool.  Can a bot be a tool?  I’m thinking this is all it can be.  Today it is my St. Nicholas pipe by Savinelli with Autumn Evening and my coffee this morning is Stumptown Holler Mountain.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
