Kid letter issues and AI

 I was going to really try to get my letters out today but besides tracked by a trip to the credit union / Bank to pull out enough cash to stop the letters with to the kids that still get a few dollars each letter . The trip to the credit should not have my whole day but it did somehow perhaps it was time spent waiting for the bus either at the community college or after waiting to come back to the apartment. I did make a side step over to the market picked up a few items. Earlier on this morning when I was with Melissa my caregiver we tried to do instacart again. It's not that I don't trust instacart it's just sort of intimidates me the whole process but well let's assumed quite confident this morning. There's a problem with the pay for the program when Melissa submitted the order and I told her I would take care of it. The only problem was the number of the items had been miscommunicated and I changed the order significantly. Sadly the number of the items were not found but the person who built my order anyway following my trip to the market I finally got home decided to read a little bit out in the fairly decent weather. I guess that's where I strayed from the path of finishing my letters. After reading for a bit, the sun sort of baked my well too compose out of me. I came back into the apartment and watched the Saturday afternoon / evening news. Local news has been sort of a joke lately they've been covering this burial of the two officers killed in the line of duty last week to the point it's getting ridiculous. This is my opinion. Anyway, I purchased a number of steaks a few days ago so I figured I better cook them up which I did tonight to serve with corn on the cob. Turned out pretty decent and now I have three backup steaks that I can use for the weekend with other corn on the cob that I still have. I was also going to have the rest of the fried potatoes I made the other night but decided against them. Maybe save them for another day. 


I'm going to diverge from what I've been writing this evening and maybe go for a brief tangent on artificial intelligence or AI. I've been really against the whole concept- and I still am but I'm beginning to wonder am I using AI when I write this document? I mean I've gotten kind of used to the underlying issues of my writing that is when there's something written wrong the computer has it underlined and I can just tap on to see how it should be or what would make it better and often I make that correction- - it's easy to do just tap. Is this using ai? And am I Miss using the whole writing thing then. A well written document- with the help of AI- - is it still my writing or does it not belong to our part of the AI universe? I would like to think it's my writing at least it's my thoughts. So in that regard it's still my thoughts but the AI is cleaned up the grammar and the writing problems I tend to have. I guess it does make me look smarter than I actually am but if I were to go back and proofread all these documents that would take forever. And sadly if I tried to proofread but I didn't know what I was actually proofreading with the mistake still stay there probably. Still on things that are important enough to hand in or be read by other people I will use items like spell check which is sort of like how this whole thing started. The computer would flag a misspelled word and I would change it was that the beginning of the AI in my computer life? It's really hard to say
