I won’t use unnecessary perspire to write this post. I let the AI Assistant block write something.
A rhyming poem by AI Assistant about Christmas
In the warmth of the hearth, as we gather near, Laughter and love fill the air with good cheer. Outside, the chill bites, but inside we aspire, To cherish each moment and never perspire.
With cocoa and cookies, the night feels just right,
As we share in the joy of this magical night.
The spirit of Christmas, a spark we admire,
Kindles our hearts with a warm, bright fire.
I thought it would be fun if you could interview yourself. Asking yourself questions you wish someone would ask, but no one ever does. This is not a selfish act like a particular American presidential candidate does *cough* Trump *cough* It’s only a bit of fun, and maybe get to know me better. The questions are from Gemini (Google AI)
Questions to Get to Know You Better
General Interest
What are you passionate about?
I’m not passionate about anything. I have opinions and things I like to do, but I wouldn’t call them passions.
What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I listen to all kinds of music, except music styles where they scream. My favourite band is Duran Duran and Bon Jovi. My favourite singers are Robbie Williams and Bryan Adams. If I wrote every band and singer, it would take forever to write them down. Besides Robbie, Bryan and DD, I’ve been to Pet Shop Boys and Toto concerts. That might give you a general idea of what kind of music I listened to.
Do you have any hobbies or interests?
My prominent hobby is writing this blog. But I also do photography, write fan fiction, cycle, and watch movies.
What is your favourite book or movie?
I don’t read much, but I like biographies and books about different subjects. I love movies, and I have many favourites. (FYI; When I was 10 years old, I belonged to a movie club.) I love Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. I’ve seen those movies several times on DVD. I also love The Hobbit movies, the most underrated trilogy ever.
Where would you like to travel if you could go anywhere in the world?
New Zeeland, but I probably never will. You need money to travel, and I can only afford cruises to Stockholm or Tallinn. Being unemployed sucks when it comes to money.
Personal and Background
What is your ideal day like?
I could sleep all day and stay up all night, but life is too short to do only that. It would be nice to do things I like, but you don’t get paid to do that.
What are you proud of achieving?
I might be proud of having a good upbringing and the courage to stay alive even if things weren’t always good.
What is something you’ve learned recently?
I feel that all my hard work on social media is being ignored. Maybe it’s the algorithms, or I’m not good enough to be liked for what I post there.
What’s one thing you’d like to improve about yourself?
I wish I weren’t so lazy about starting things. I also wish I could make decisions faster than I do now.
What kind of environment do you thrive in?
Where I can be alone most of the time.
Future Goals and Aspirations
What are your long-term goals?
To find peace. Since my dad died in February, I still have things to do. Some things take so long. I will sell my flat, but the cleaning and all that takes forever.
What kind of work environment do you prefer?
I need a place where I can do my work in peace. I can work if the music is on, but if someone is talking, it’s a different manner.
What motivates you in your career?
I don’t have a career. You need a job to have that.
What challenges are you excited to overcome?
Excited isn’t the word, but I was happy to finish or leave an education I didn’t like.
What do you hope to achieve in the next five years?
I don’t have a job, and it looks like I won’t either. I hope I can be an entrepreneur by then. But I haven’t even started yet, so maybe it won’t happen. If I do, I hope it succeeds fasten then in 5 years.
Deeper Questions
What makes you laugh?
Comedy. People that have a particular look on their faces in comedy shows or movies. Kelsey Grammar (Frasier) has the best one. That’s what made the show funny to this day. Also, Jim Carrey makes me laugh.
What are you grateful for in your life?
I had parents who let me be me. Without them, I’m not the person I am today. I’m also grateful for having a sister, even if I only had her for six years. Having both of my grandmothers was also a blessing. May they all rest in peace.
What is your biggest fear?
My biggest fear used to be dogs, but I got over it. Now, I don’t mind if one sniffs me. I used to be terrified if they got even close. My other fear was losing my parents, but now they’re gone anyway. At least I had them around while growing up. If I lost them as a teenager, then things could be different. Death is part of life, and one day, I will be gone, too. My biggest fear is that I get cancer like my mother or I will get some other illness with lots of pain. I also fear needles. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t donate blood or get a tattoo.
What is something you’re struggling with right now?
To go to bed early and wake up early, too. I don’t have a reason to get up when I don’t have a job.
What is your life philosophy?
You get born, you live a decent life, and then you die.
Technology has become a big part of our world. It isn’t easy to live without it. But it should be a tool and not something you can’t let go. Some people can’t even walk without a phone in their hand. It can be dangerous, and anyone can hit you with a car. The worst thing is seeing young kids looking at their phones while walking. Don’t parents teach them anything? I’m glad I lived when technology wasn’t around the same way it is now. Some things are easier today, so technology is a good thing. It has helped me a lot.
If I had a job, technology would be part of it. I’m in an entrepreneurial course at the moment, and we get the material through email, so there isn’t much need to take notes. I find it hard to write and listen at the same time, which is the reason why I never became a journalist. Being an introvert, technology is a big help. For example, you can text people instead of calling them. But sometimes, you still need to talk on the phone, though. Calling strangers isn’t my thing; it never was. You know who calls you, which you couldn’t do before mobiles. That’s the best part about modern technology.
I want to have a job that you use with technology. I want to do something that says, Buy Now! I don’t know if anyone wants to pay for my work. That’s one of the reasons why I haven’t started my own business. Being unemployed has its own problems when it comes to becoming an entrepreneur. It would be easier if I had a job, but since I don’t, the financial side of it is uncertain. I don’t want to be in the job search circus anymore. There are many reasons why I don’t, but I won’t get into detail. Technology doesn’t help in job search. It might be easier to send applications through the Internet, but employers want more than someone who knows how to use technology. You do it yourself if you want to get something out of life. That’s how I write fan fiction, I didn’t find stories interesting enough, so I wrote one the way I wanted. The same goes for becoming an entrepreneur. You get to do things the way you want.
Without technology or the Internet, all this (blogging, sharing things) wouldn’t be possible. It should be a tool, and the same goes for AI in the future. It is a different matter if someone wants to exploit that for their evil plan. But let’s hope it won’t get that far.
