Rolling Onward

“Crisp air, golden leaves, Nature’s beauty surrounds me, Autumn’s warm embrace.”

I didn’t conjure up the opening phrase; it’s an AI-generated haiku. In experimenting with the technology, I sometimes receive pleasing results, but more often, they’re disappointing. Getting the best from AI requires wording each question or comment correctly or exactly to achieve the desired response quality. If I ask the same question multiple times and reword my request slightly each time, the responses increasingly become pleasing.

I wonder what draws me to this, for I can independently imagine and write. Maybe it’s because AI is a bigger component in modern communications than could have been imagined. It makes sense to learn at least a little about accessing the technology.

For starters, I felt that poetry and weather were a good combination. I had to revise my question several times before AI could generate that likable little haiku.

I want to mention that researchers have discovered that there are 3,300 cells in the human brain, and those are grouped into 461 clusters. That’s our individual “smarts” capacity, which becomes used however one does. All that’s confusing anyway, and oh, by the way, “Howdy, AI.”
