The Learning Curve I’ll Never Double
Facing technical challenges as a middle-aged, reluctant student
Technically speaking, I’m an idiot. No, not in the sense you want me to be one. Simply, and literally idiot, that is a person who ignore.
What are we talking about? Technology, of course! For the joy of the possible contractors who will never hire me after reading this one.
What is this noise about? Nothing in particular, really. It’s not a mystery I’m subhumanly characterized by repelling all techny stuff available these days. I don’t want to rant either. Well, just a bit, in fact.
You know that to me, writing on a computer, editing, submitting drafts, tagging, and the like, are incredible actions I succeed in making only for God’s grace. My utmost success? Close any device delighted by the certainty I haven’t dismissed it all with a wrong click.
To my discharge I must say computers weren’t a thing when I was in school. Well, I had the chance of writing my thesis at University on a computer, but I was using it as a typewriter, under the assistance of my sister, and with the availabilty of a programming nerd, supervisioning any eventual default in my actions.
So that (here’s the crucial point), when someone says the writing thing itself can be made by the same technology I’m just starting to use with an ounce more of self-confidence, I can’t hear what you say.
I’m reluctantly opposing AI in writing. Usually, I’m a human being well disposed towards life, and evolution. Not this time.
Maybe the reason lays in Carlo Zeno’s bad influence with satirizing about important off-limits topics, and my support to him. Or the increasing awareness of the #AI vs HI community.
Or it could be that the Deluded Custodians are becoming powerful, and people start trembling at our potentiality. Verdad, amiga Ann James? Our monthly challenges are becoming epical. Nothing everyone can ever understand, really.
It’s just that… a song keep coming to my mind when facing the roboting reality, radically, and redundantly surrounding me.
This is my response to people saying AI can be good for my writing. (They didn’t tell me directly, I read it through their lines). Nothing personal, indeed. Just a song keeps rolling in the boosted air of my kitchen, while preparing dinner.
Thank you for reading. I’m not a robot, and never will be.
The idea of this article was convalidated to me, and well aligned with the prompt 5. Conceptual Theme — New Technology/Twosome — Convenience of Innovation and Learning Curve proposed by Bella Smith ⭐in her Promptly Written saga. It’s not Tuesday, but I felt the urgence of writing, and publishing this now.
Tagging two people who could be interested in my article: Victoria Kjos, and DR Rawson - The Possibilist.
