I Didn’t Do It This Time, But I Tried

I Didn't Do It

I Didn’t Do It

I didn’t do it.  

Seriously.  

I wrote an article for a client.  

They ran it through an AI Detector.  

They told me it looks like AI wrote it.  

Should I be insulted?  

Or should I be proud?  

Do I write so well that it looks like a bot wrote it?  

Or do I write so badly that it looks like a bot wrote it?  

The client didn’t clarify that point.  

At any rate, I didn’t do it.  

I did not use AI to write this piece.  

AI does lots of wonderful things.  

But it can’t write.  

It overwrites, creating pieces that are terminally mansplained.  

As an aside, I hate the word “mansplain.”  

It’s sexist.  

I am just as capable as any man of speaking in a condescending and patronizing tone.  

*Note to self – invent a better word.  

At any rate, I have tried to get AI to write a blog post for me.  

Just to see if it could capture my voice.  

For the record, it can’t capture my voice.  

No matter which AI program I use or how many detailed prompts I give it, it just writes a terrible imitation of me.  

So, no, Mr. Client, I did not use AI to write your article.  

I didn’t do it.

I’m Impressed – It’s Why I Think My Kid Is A Genius

I'm Impressed

I’m Impressed!

I’m impressed.

My son had a great idea.

He’s an absolute genius.

Here’s the backstory.

When we first moved into this house, the oven wouldn’t keep an accurate temperature.

I bought an oven thermometer.

Sure enough, the temp was off by about 10 degrees.

Which wasn’t a problem at all.

I could just make the adjustments.

However, recently, the oven couldn’t seem to hold a steady temperature at all.

I would set it for 350 but it would barely register at 250.

And then it would drop to 100.

We started to shop for a new range.

However, we don’t use the oven much in the summertime.

Maybe we could put off this major purchase for awhile.

Perhaps we can shop around and wait for a sale.

The Genius Son suggested that maybe the oven isn’t broken at all.

Maybe it’s the thermometer that’s broken.

I purchased a new oven thermometer, and set the temp for 350.

The old thermometer barely registered at 200.

The new thermometer registered at 340.

Which is normal since we already know the oven is off by 10 degrees.

Woo hoo!

Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a new range, we spent $5.00 on a new oven thermometer.

I’m impressed.

Why I Need To Pay Attention To My Own Advice

Pay Attention!

It was all my fault.

I knew it could happen.

In fact, I’ve warned my family about this very thing.

But I didn’t pay attention.

And it happened.

Blue got carsick.

All over my back seat.

When the windows are open, she does just fine.

I forgot to open the windows.

It wasn’t my intention to spend a sweltering hot afternoon detailing my car.

But that’s what I did.

The car was dirty and needed cleaning anyway.

So it wasn’t a total loss.

But to add insult to injury, I got an ant bite.

Actually, I got a cluster of five ant bites.

And now I’ve got a three-inch-wide welt going all the way around  my ankle.

Stupid ants.

Next time I’ll pay attention.

I’ll open the windows for Blue.
