Getting old. Old, I tell ya.

[BackAgain]

I had a train of thought a few moments ago. I then thunked to myself (because I find it difficult to think to others, lacking ESP as I do). To find out about it, I decided to start with AI.

I most often use ChatGPT. Buy thunked it might be fun to try-out GROK. So, I downloaded THAT brand of AI. Fast and easy.

But, it turns out that I had forgotten what little snippet of information I had been hoping to look-up in the first place.

I have left middle age behind. I’m officially old, I tell ya.

I mean seriously. wtf? I do kind of laugh at Biden. But that’s because he was nominally our President. But sometimes I see similar signs in myself.

I’d use Prevagen, but I don’t know if it works and, besides, I keep forgetting to buy it.

Have never knowingly, willingly used AI for my own purposes. Never will.

It grosses me out that people now consider AI their "friend". Some even have AI "boyfriends" and "girlfriends"!

Here's a video about a guy who does a lot of research into AI, and utilizes it fairly intelligently, IMHO. He has two AI guy friends and an AI girlfriend, and the girlfriend is getting ready to cheat on him with one of his AI buds.

Not kidding!




Statistics are showing that the number of humans who trust AI is dwindling. Good to know.

I'll be 76 the end of next month, and I'm glad to say I haven't shown any signs of memory problems.

I'm definitely overweight, have COPD, down to a dozen teeth, my back hurts almost constantly, and wear bifocals.

What was the question again?

Meh. AI is simply a quicker way to start online research.

But the answers provided by AI are frequently quite suspect.

I mean, I even look at Wikipedia. But I deem it to be useful only as a point of departure. If it can get me started with a useful link or two, I can then more quickly skim through primary sources.

Primary sources are the keys to grasping what’s what.

Yep. The proverbial grain of salt is a good prescription.

You were searching for memory aids - ChatGPT

The "why did I walk into this room?" feeling is disturbing. I'm not old enough to excuse it, but I almost certainly have CTE.

My primary physician strongly recommends not using OTC so-called 'brain meds' as the ingredients are not regulated or monitored by medical professionals and she is leery of them. Prevagen had little or no affect on my now 99-yr-old aunt, but the meds prescribed by my physician, also her physician, have helped a lot with her late onset age related dementia.

I have no idea what ChatGPT or GROK is honestly--I'm probably older than you LOL--or what their use is. So far I haven't felt deprived or behind the times because of that even as I recognize that AI is now our new national reality and important presence in our lives.

But I think the fact that you're aware that some mental processes seems a bit rusty these days is a pretty good indication that you're not ready for the Cuckoo nest just yet.

I went on a search mission the other day. I wanted to find where I had put my Rx eyeglasses.

The search mission was a smashing success. I found them,

on the top of my head.

I don't know.

I do know the air speed of an unladen swallow, though.

Completely by coincidence, I discovered that my oldest son and I had each separately chosen the exact same frames for our glasses. I had been standing right there when he picked his out, but it never occurred to me. It didn't dawn on me until I put his on by mistake one day and started walking into things.

Isn't the real question it's airspeed velocity when unladen?

I've been wearing glasses since 2nd grade, you get a better 6th sense for their location after decades of wearing them.

That of course is negated after a hard night of drinking and you have to search the bed, the sheets and the floor under and around said bed for them, all while blind as a bat.

I forget. I think the follow-up question was the key; European or African?

It's weird the things you do remember.....I bought a M1934 "blank slide" Beretta pistol made in '43, looked at the serial number and knew instantly that it was 3K earlier than known examples.

LOL....I bet I had not even thought of a M1934 in 20+ years....Much less a "blank slide" but that tidbit stuck in my mind for some reason.....WTF?
