Years ago in a corporate meeting I was asked what my ideal occupation would be on my passport.

​

"Writer..." I said. "So write something..." they said.

​

As a child I wrote to escape. It was the same in my corporate years. And when I got sick, it helped me to heal. I know the power of choosing the right words.

Still dipping into corporate, I feel the pull to hand your brain over to artificially generated content as soon as you wake, until you finally sleep (~ if you can).

​​

But over-consumption of a certain type of content is rewiring attention, communication and our deepest insights. Your resting heart rate? Tick. Now...- any shift on your self-criticism? Nope, let's not think about it.

​​​

We create large language models through our stories. And, as yet, coded intelligence misses the mark on:

​​​

• Curiosity - Staying open to different possible meanings, nuance and subtle shades of grey.

• Unique story - Your story will be different. It's anything but cookie-cutter. You are the niche.

• Human magic - Deep-wired into our humanity remain existential wonder, a spirit of community, childhood patterns that repeat. Total reliance on outputs from coded logic models - rather than exploring our deepest selves - risks a real loss.

​​​​​​

I LOVE AI, this isn't an 'either:or' mission. It's a 'don't forget that your subconscious, intuition and innate creativity hold keys to you that NO app ever could'.

 

These tales can help you to reconnect with yourself.

Once upon a time there was a unique dance of DNA...

Yes... that would be you x
