Perfect timing. Was in front of a tech school class explaining why visiting a tutor was the only option for preserving humanity (as opposed to getting your paper completed by AI) and as a treat to the class, I read your "poem" aloud :)

Hi Charlene! That's wonderful...thank you. I feel honored (: What does the class think about what you said/ about AI, etc?

They were smiling, but we will see, haha, if they switch off AI!

I increasingly wish I had moved to Amish country after high school, back when 1984 was still in the future.

Same here - all the butter and real ice cream you can eat - who wouldn't want that? Have you ever seen the movie Kingpin about the Amish bowler, with Randy Quaid?

Nah…I divorced PopCultureLLC 30+ years ago. I did watch the Tolkien films though, ‘cause in the 70s I was the only kid I knew who read the books.

Love this! Excellent article!

Humanity has created some intriguing challenges to wrestle with. I say we take a step back and try to be humans for a change. We need to stop trying to "protect the children" by destroying humanity in the process.

Thank you John! I'm glad you appreciate the perspective. I couldn't have summed up your opinion any better myself.
