As I was reading, I was thinking about the things I love doing (painting with watercolors, for one) and how I would never give them up for an AI-generated piece of art, even though I enjoy creating images with AI.
Getting lost in what I'm doing, playing with the layers of colors (I didn't quite have the patience for watercolors when I was younger 😉).
Finding the balance between what we want AI to do/not do is such a personal journey.
I felt a little like I was in each of the places you mentioned as you described them.
I took a long walk this afternoon in a park near our house and reveled in the trees that were changing colors...I stopped and noticed a leaf that was hanging in mid-air -- caught, I think, on the thread of a spider web-- that's something AI can't do: have its breath taken away at the beauty in the Universe.
This is a BIG one, but it feels like something I could potentially speak adjacently on. Is there a word count?
The word count limit is 1,000 words, Florence.
OK, so now I will take another break from "the book" and write something for the Salon :-) I think I have to do it!
Yay! Can't wait to read it!!
Beautiful, Lisa-Marie,

This is such a much-needed conversation.
Thank you
You actually just made me think of something, Kim. With the exception of vibe-coding, maybe we keep all those activities within which we find “flow.”
Oooh... I love this.
Let's go deeper with this when we chat this week!
Let's! Are you submitting?
For the Salon, I mean - not for our chat. lol.
