here we go again

Like almost every kid from the 90s, this is not my first foray into "blogging". (A quick Google of my name would probably yield some... embarrassing results.)

Yet, I step into this new attempt with some hesitation. Well, to be honest, a lot of it.

For one, I have not written without the help of AI for quite a while. In fact, I am already feeling the symptoms of withdrawal as I am hammering away at my computer keys. Oh, how strange it is to think whilst looking off into the distance instead of typing into the glowing input box of an AI chatbot.

Work and life has been rather overwhelming too. It's been rare to be able to find time to sit down, contemplate, think, and formulate thoughts.

So here I am, going at it again. Attempting to write and think.

It's going to be ugly, imperfect, and completely human.

And, here's holding out hope that this does not join the increasing number of blogs I have sent to the "graveyard".

Here are links to two articles that I have read recently and resonated deeply with about the taint of AI on our culture, and my mind.
