RE: We Are the Last of the Analogs

in #story18 days ago

I remember when we were on Steemit, before the pandemic, I often shared some of your texts with my friends, and I even remember sharing one of your poems with my students. I mean, sometimes we think our words don't reach far, and then you find that a group of people in a country far away from yours are reading what you write. I'm not worried about AI writing a text; what really worries me is that human beings will stop being moved, not only by what they read, but also by what they see. The other day, I told my students how beautiful a sunset was, and one of them told me that the ones generated by AI were better, ha ha ha. I'm concerned that without being robots, we behave like them. Hugs, my friend

Those were the days! Just thinking about them make me smile. When I hear stories like that I have to pinch myself. It's very flattering that you connected with something I wrote so deeply that you shared it with your students that are so far away, geographically. The younger generations are the ones I really worry about. Even mobile phones have made face-to-face communication and expressing themselves emotionally sometimes difficult. Many kids are more comfortable on their devices than living in the real world. Thanks for making me feel better today! I wish you a wonderful weekend my friend!
