This was the first time I ever opted to use Chat GPT. I found that when I used it as opposed to the "deep web" search option that it was very specific with brief descriptions given with each location as to why we would want to travel there. While the listed locations for honeymoon were fewer than on the broader all web and deep web searches, the expanded descriptions were longer, ads were extensive, and there was a lot of distracting clutter or noise all over the visually. I usually disable all the AI options because I found it disruptive when it would pop up and recommend things to me when I didn't feel that I needed any help. Now, I have since changed my mind about it, and will consider using now in my searches from here on out.
After years of avoiding AI and not trusting tech for the longest time KNOWING the risks of these shared public libraries and cafes, let's be real. My info is out there, and so is YOURS. Just google me! I'm infamous in some circles. However that said, after much deliberation, I chose to go with Gemini. Not only did they get me with my Astrological opposite. Google owns me already circa 1999!
"My Karaoke Critic: Confessions" [linked above] Blogger site is run by Google since 2011. I tried WordPress. I just don't believe in paying! It was nice to have my own URL, but eventually "The Pineapple Princess Polyness Priestess" will ride again. After all my Anchor.FM is still out there "Tales of an Tongan American Princess." I just haven't had the time to be consistent and post with any regularity because I was too busy working and hustling to make ends meet. Love happened. We got married, and then things took off from there.
I'm back in school, and well, I'm no luddite, but I have definitely upgraded my skills since in just the first semester here at the City College of San Francisco. It's about trust. It's about knowing how to avoid phishing scams, and protecting your neck! Log out consistently. Delete your profile, history, cookies, ALL of it. Most of all take out your TRASH. I have neglected in my haste to empty the trash every time too. I am lazy, but that's because I don't mind being watched. "All the world is a stage," William Shakespeare said.
This player had been performing for a very long time in and out of the public eye, so I'm used to an audience. Sometimes, I leave "crumbs" behind for children to follow if they are nosy and curious. Someone has to. Zines went the way of the dodo. Sometimes I just leave something up and watch to see who sees it from a distance and takes interest. These poor children. As a tweener X/Y Genner, I am in between Millenial and the X Generation. I'm too young to be an Xer having missed everything a few years too young, and I'm too old to be a Millenial because I worked on Apple IIe and moved turtles around, so... yeah. I don't fit in any category, so I choose to carve my own path. Once my job here is done. I will go dark. Delete everything, and ghost.
