I've never used ChatGPT. Some days, most days, writing is all I have. And I plan to stay around and be a part of the group of people still willing to create together, from the ground up. I always appreciate reading pieces that are so insightful on writing in this day and age! Thank you for this.
Starting a Substack was a long time coming for me! I've blogged and done travel writing for years, and now I'm trying to see what else is out there! Maybe connect with interesting people.
you remind me of the round-the-world journey my wife and I did back in 2016-17 as we traveled and wrote about our experiences on the road. What is your biggest takeaway and lessons blogging and writing about your travel? and what's on top of your mind these days?
I like the analogy, have not seen AI be spoken about that way, but I agree, and was thinking this today based on an encounter I had last week. I can make recommendations, try to ensure a patient can afford a medication, educate them why they need it and how to use it, but it's meaningless if a patient doesn't have the initiative to take it on their own (doesn't happen often but it does from time to time).
this piece was thought-provoking. The part where you write "they co-exist" is a little scary. We're already attached to our devices, but to be attached to AI is next-level and I'm not sure what the repercussions of that will be. I took a walk in the woods today, just thinking about this makes me want to go back to the woods!
I am not sure either Istiaq! While it might be impossible to predict what AI can do in the coming years, I like to skip ahead and think about the values we want our kids to have in their 20s or 30s when they go on their journeys. No matter how the technologies improve, the human side of things that stays the same will guide us through what comes next.

oh thank you so much for your kind words Jenny. What brought you here on substack and how do you feel when you are writing?
