It’s gray, though it’s not supposed to rain, and potentially pretty warmish today. That’s not too bad for March.
Overall.
Before we get into where we’re going today, thank you so much to Judith for the coffees. So much of my connection to others and to the world is through my writing, which feels so one-sided at times. That it isn’t, that it can be more than my voice, is very gratifying. Thank you.
And on to Tuesday! This morning, Spoutible launched an update that summarizes users based on their posts. They’re a long paragraph, and so far they feel pretty spot-on, except for a few where the sampling may have weighted some things more heavily than they actually seem as someone who interacts with the users.
What caught my attention, at least for my own, is how serious I sound. I know I talk about serious things a lot, and maybe my humor is too dry or deadpan or relying on bathos for AI to catch.
But.
I think it revealed something I didn’t realize myself. Humor isn’t factoring in these days, at least not in the majority of my spouting. I seem to have lost some of my…fun.
Like I said above, it could be the sampling or how the AI gauges humor. But I knew, in reading that, in thinking about it, the heaviness of the world is carrying through.
Which is fine, we are where we are. Treating seriously makes sense, it’s serious.
But I also want to have more fun.
Not to game the AI, RICHARD (😂😂😂) but to game myself. To bring that part of me back.
You see it in my writing, I’m sure. I mean something about “Stumpy the Time Traveling Penguin” has to have humor to it. It’s in my posts.
In my normal, day-to-day communications? Chatting away on Spoutible?
Seems to be lacking.
Granted, we probably shouldn’t take things like the summaries so…well…seriously. But they may give us a mirror.
And mirrors are good for reflecting.
Overall, though, great feature.
And you have a great Tuesday,
