I don’t think AI gets writer’s block.
But that doesn’t mean it can’t be inadequate.
There are always things running around in my brain that I seem to not have enough interest in that they make a circle and start all over again.
Stream of consciousness is my preferred way of finding content to channel.
I’ve become one of those people who mostly observe things from a distance.
Distance and me are good like that.
When will the time come that we’ve been waiting for all our lives?
How come the Yankees can’t seem to get it done when it counts?
The answers to these proclamations and queries will all be had for one and all to enjoy in 2026.
Pretty soon is one of my favorite expressions of time.
As in, pretty soon all things will become clearer.
Unsocial media never seems to change.
Why do books seem to find boxes for their home over time instead of shelves?
Will we still be able to experience the joy of mailing letters by 2030? I have no special insights into this statement, it’s just that 2030 sounds good when you need to cite any given year.
Coffee tastes more flavorful and less jarring after all these years drinking it. So, maybe you’d like a recommendation from me. My go to is dark roast.
So there, it’s been outed for one and all to digest. See what I did there?
AI needs to run on methane, and cows, if at all possible, should be a primary source of energy for it.
Let the masters of flatulence help lead to the demise of electricity farms for data centers.
I realize the likelihood of this happening is less than 1%. But, that does not deter me from undertaking (useless) pursuits such as this.
So far we’ve managed to return to the blogosphere without using AI in this missive. I’m proud of that.
As to what the future holds regarding AI here on this site, well, I can only say, “You never know.”
While AI can be intimidating from a writer’s standpoint, you’ve got to consider the fact that its lack of feelings, hurt, glad or everything in between, is in conflict with good, interesting pieces of writing.
Now to describe something as a good piece of writing may imply there are still other pieces of the pie to be delved into.
What I’m trying to say is that AI has lowered the bar for what constitutes quality journalism. However, I’m not suggesting AI is dumb, it’s just the lack of sentience is where we run into problems with its writing.
I appreciate a little automation as much as the next person, but not as much as my AI counterparts.
The fact they read this in seconds is over the top for me–the person who always believes haste makes waste.
The age of AI and what becomes of it and us are yet to be determined.
That’s really all that can be said about it for now.
I would like to occasionally deploy a robot as a proofreader, though. Then let all the critics howl.
Happy 2026 everyone.
