Oh Dear, am I not needed to blog anymore!

A.I. wants to help me!

Besides Blogger, I have another bloggy type website called COMMANDERS. Today, while writing at the Commanders site, I saw a new egg shaped icon, which I now know to be ‘Kai’ the A.I.

I never click on anything these days that I don’t recognise or understand, but an e-mail popped up in my tray from my web host, telling me all about my new A.I. Buddy!

It says ‘Kai can proofread your text, expand your rough notes into well-written content or change the writing style without changing your ideas’.

Apparently it works best for people with a lot of content (me) because it has more information to draw upon in emulating my style / content ./ thinking etc.

On the plus side it says ‘Unleash your creativity without overthinking spelling or grammar’ ….. so a posh spell checker then?

Anyway, there we are, no big deal, but certainly a peak behind the curtain into what the not too distant future holds for us and another stepping stone on the way to a shallow relationship with those that read you, beaten only by the joys of monetising your blog! 

I would be more impressed if it would paint my figures for me, but it strikes me that writing is a very personal thing, why would you want someone (something!) else to do it for you, when I can spend hours agonising over format, content and spelling?

It reminds me of a cartoon joke that my music shop has put in front of his racks of vinyl albums which reads something like ‘the thing I enjoy most about vinyl is the expense and inconvenience’ :-) very funny.

Here are the rough notes to my next post - ‘scenario building and the price of fish’ ….. good luck with that, my little A.I. buddy.

Question - is it likely that A.I. could (At the moment) write the above passage, with the kind of nuance that is in there and how the hell would it know about the cartoon in my music shop? Answers on a postcard please.
