What are you most excited about for the future?

At my age, there is more past than future in my life. While there are a number of projects in the works for the next few years, most it seems surrounding artificial intelligence.

As a kid, I loved watching the original “Star Trek” with my Dad. There were some really cool looking stuff on that show. The U.S. Navy even took some of those fantastical ideas and turned them into real life science.

We all marveled at the computer system that could do ANYTHING and seemed know EVERYTHING!

The world is just getting into the AI craze and I will freely admit to using the AI feature when it comes to adding photos to my work. But when it comes to writing, I refuse to put my name on anything that I didn’t actually write myself. The words are my own.

Speech to text is no longer a future thing, but a now thing…only the understanding part seems to be a not quite yet thing. I seem to spend as much or more time correcting the computer’s interpretation of my voice than if I had just typed the text out in the first place. THAT would be a great thing for the future!

If I could get my words on the paper so to speak without having to retype it all or deal with word programs that seem to have a mind of their own or are “possessed” and jump all over the place. It would be a great help in getting more writing done…without my hands cramping up.

If I am lucky, the speech to text issues will be resolved in my lifetime, while I can still use it.
