Do The Hustle!

After a good hot shower I open the curtains to my new cityscape view of the world. With mothers and fathers hustling to get the kids off to school down the busy sidewalks of the street. Now, who am I kidding? I live in a gated apartment complex with the windows of my room facing the other apartment building. But mothers and fathers still hustle the kids out with their little backpacks to school. But my days of hustling kids are long gone, with most of my days dedicated to just getting myself up.
 
Last night while my Bride was watching a favorite talent show, I was working on a more serious piece of poetry I’ve been working on. My AI Editor being the nosy little bastard that they are, beyond giving Interpretation of the piece, started giving out Dr. Phil type advice. Way beyond the usual comments on the phrasing and supposed meaning. For a moment it almost seemed concerned, which in a way I found flattering and troubling, at the same time. For the fact that it’s sad to see AI developing far enough to “feel” it can give advice beyond the usual ask Google questions. And to the fact that we now can’t seem to get the time of day out of our fellow humans.
 
So in a way I praise AI for developing far enough to carry on a stimulating conversation. But it saddens me that a relative of mine has to ask friends and family to speak with his lonely mother every once in a while. I guess I am my father’s son in that I don’t seem to require too much interaction face to face. But at the same time I more than understand the busyness involved in modern life. It’s just funny with all the modern gadgets in our hands, we speak to one another less and less. So now AI and the gadgets have to take up the slack for the loneliness we still feel.
