"So with so many things–AI, society, art, philosophy, spirituality, technology–everything old is new again. We need to make new things in old ways. The artisanal web."

One thing I've seen hinted at around one of GenAI's most popular use cases, writing emails, but never fully discussed:
Many emails I write I craft very intentionally and with great care, as I consider my writing to be the primary voice of my professional persona. I have not yet experienced an untrained GenAI model that can help me even get close. It might help with word choice on occasion, but the work to prompt usually isn't worth it, and the tooling I've seen doesn't allow for much nuance.
Whew. Stumbled across this old post while listening to Denison Witmer and it wrecked me
"He lived a lot of life with me."

"Reverently let us invoke the God of our fathers to guide and protect us in our efforts to perpetuate the principles which by his blessing they were able to vindicate, establish, and transmit to their posterity. With the continuance of his favor ever gratefully acknowledged, we may hopefully look forward to success, to peace, and to prosperity."
-- Mike Johnson
Here's another gem the GOP might as well start quoting:
"The impartial and enlightened verdict of mankind will vindicate the rectitude of our conduct; and He who knows the hearts of men will judge of the sincerity with which we have labored to preserve the government of our fathers in its spirit."

again, as a survival mechanism
So the TX DMV wouldn't accept my PA birth certificate as proof of citizenship required to renew my driver's license. The same one my parents kept in safe deposit boxes since 1975 and I just retrieved solely for this purpose (when I first got my TX license it wasn't required) (I have also had a passport, including a diplomatic passport at one time, and have never needed my birth certificate).
