Thanks, Warren for sharing. I'm listening to some of the videos you sent. It's a LOT of stuff. Do you like using AI tools yourself?

I love AI art.

I do not really need or use the other AI stuff, it is all too perfect and sterile for me.

I haven't used any of it yet, but I'd have to agree with you that it is a bit too sterile. I can always tell when someone has used AI as it's boring to read. Maybe it's okay for research and I was thinking that it could be good for drawing up contracts for business, etc.

I notice you have used the AI art and it's quite nice. Did you write an article about AI art? I'd be interested in trying it out sometime.

I love AI art. I know that it has come under fire, as it is generated using the art done by human artists, which is not always fair.

Yes, AI is useful for drawing up plans, projects and for research work, it is a marvelous tool.

However, for a creative mind, that seeks to expand its own consciousness it is necessary to use your mind. However, if a person wishes to produce mountains of work and stunt his or her mind, while appearing to the world as being a prolific writer, then AI text generators is the best tool.

A few wonderful AI Art generators are Nightcafe.ai and Leonardo.ai among several others.

This is a great topic. As I said in November of last year, AI will be at the top of my mind for 2024. I get 40 to 50 or more email per day in my general mailbox that offers AI in one form or another. Since writing about AI from the HI perspective and learning how to prompt effectively, those who haven't used AI have absolutely no idea the amount of work that goes into a really great prompt to get the lead image you used for this article for example. Unless it's prompted or programmed, the one key component to the use of AI will not work. In other words, it needs my HI input to do anything for any reason.

The argument that so many are making is the issue of "taking over." Here's the answer. Write the code, the safeguards to put that into place and stop worrying about it. I feel like this is the Privacy discussion we had about the Internet. Some of our voice were never paid attention to and now, we get what many don't want, the lack of privacy. Just my 25 cents worth. Thanks for bringing this subject up, again.
