^ this is a concern that I've also had, and I've been accused of using AI in comments and writings before. because I use the three phrase thing, sometimes structure my sentences similarly, and use headings to break up my thoughts. well, I'm a technical writer, I'm very well versed in chunking information and creating headings. anyway, I really like this post and the reminder to not really give a fuck and keep writing!

^ Fun little celebration of spring in the start of this post 🏵️

^ At first the thought of this made me laugh a little because I went to school during a time when only a few people had laptops in class, much less phones or tablets... we are truly in a different era (and I am old). I wanted to share because it's thoughtful and links to other interesting articles to explore.

^ This is a constant struggle as a documentarian. I want to show my life, share it, manipulate the results of it into zines and videos and creative things. But I also want to make sure I am still there living it. To me, it's not phone specific. I also had this thought/conflict pre-phones-in-pockets, when I'd leave my house with a notebook and write what I'm observing instead of observing, then writing. It's technology, not apps, that keep me from fully experiencing. But this post is about apps and it brings a unique thought to the idea of certain technology being the reason we do stuff.

^ Yes! As we move into using AI at work and it's part of the expectation of working.. This is always on my mind. Some people think you can "do anything" with AI. But like anything else: if you want to produce a well rounded thing, you must already have domain knowledge for that thing.
