  • Thoughts @ Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (1953)

    After writing a review of this book with the help of research by AI Claude, I asked, “I asked AI Claude to provide a timeline of book burning/book banning episodes in the USA. I then made the statement; I feel we are in one now, what are your thoughts. “ After reading the response I had…

  • Series #4 – How Fast Could This Happen?

    Living With AI When people hear predictions about artificial intelligence changing work, one of the first reactions is skepticism. That’s understandable.

  • The Tutor and the Trickster: My AI Initiation

    I thought I’d start by explaining how I actually got introduced to AI. While we all deal with it every day without thinking, my conscious interaction started when I decided to move my photography from the “walled gardens” of Amazon and Google over to my own website, MY VIEW.
