Cafe & ChatGPT
There was a time when I used to sit in a cafe and see people working out of their laptops. These days , it’s still the same, just that on each screen I see either Claude or ChatGPT or Gemini or some other new savvy AI chatbot. Am I the one using one of these? Definitely, yes. But am I using AI to write this? No, not because I want to show-off, but I just want it to be original and raw, and probably with human errors.

Funny, right? I started using AI to polish my mails, to polish my language, to find the right tone, to quality check before sending out anything, and I was astonished by these capabilities. The capability of AI to get rid of human error. After 2 years, here I am, with a feeling that some human errors are probably the most beautiful thing out there.
AI turned out to be the most powerful tool I have ever seen in my millenial (or zillenial) life. It can transform lives, it increases “productivity” ughhh! But it also snatches away some creativity out of us. When everyone started creating Ghibli portraits out of their photos, I found it amusing but I couldn’t understand those artists who were hurt by the trend. But now I get it!
The future looks a bit uncertain in this AI era and I will leave you to ponder upon it, while I go back to Claude and get my work done!
