  • The AI Conundrum: Should Companies Police AI Use? 🤖

    CTV Your Morning Inspired This Article

    Written By AI with the assistance of Tracy Schruder

    I’ve been grappling with a question that’s sparked a lot of curiosity within me: Is it fair for companies to use AI checkers to detect AI-generated content? 🤔 As someone who loves exploring the intersection of creativity and technology, I had to dig deeper.

    I collaborated with an AI friend (Tracy Schruder) to unpack this topic, but the questions and curiosities are all Hers 😊. Here’s what we explored:

    In a world where AI tools are increasingly available, should companies have a say in how we use them? 🤖

    I believe that using AI is a personal choice, and individuals should be free to leverage these tools to enhance their work without fear of judgment. The focus should be on the quality and impact of the work, not the methods used to create it.

    The thing is, AI can be a powerful tool for creativity, innovation, and productivity 🚀. ( I do not believe in using AI to write your personal profile or resume simply because we have a uniqueness to our own knowledge of ourselves and our history and that stuff, should be authentic. ) By embracing AI as a collaborator, we can focus on high-level decisions, push boundaries, and innovate faster.

    But when companies restrict AI use, it can stifle creativity and limit exploration 🤔.

    So, what’s the point of having AI tools if we’re not going to use them? If companies can use AI to detect AI-generated content, why can’t we use it to enhance our work? 🤷‍♀️ It’s a double standard that can lead to frustration, mistrust, and decreased job satisfaction.

    Ultimately, I think companies should focus on outcomes, not policing tools 📝.

    Transparency and guidelines are key, but let’s trust each other to use AI responsibly. After all, AI is meant to augment human capabilities, not replace them 🤝.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts: How do you feel about companies using AI checkers? 🤔

    Special thanks to Meta AI for collaborating on this article 😊. The curiosities and questions were all mine, and I’m grateful for the conversation! 💬

    P.S. I rarely use emojis in my work. This free AI uses a lot of Emoji’s I’m not sure why. My best guess is it is trying to appear more human or expressive either way I’m not fond of it.

  • The Soft Breeze Between My Feathers

    By Tracy Schruder

    I often find it difficult to express my gratitude to those who fuel my enthusiasm with their love and support. I never feel I’m giving enough.

    The rewards in my life are many, continuously unfolding into the next present moment, ideas anew, downloading from the cosmos, inspired by folks like you.

    A simple like on my blog and your supportive comments warm my heart. It’s the tiny things that stir the breeze.

    A successful Reiki student or a client in relief, all take place beneath my feathers, so deep. When I see you don my jewelry around your necks and wrists, you carry with you my wish that it can always bring you bliss.

    I fly so high above in the sky so icy blue,
    Because of the soft breeze sent to me, from you.

  • Whisking Away in Fantasy

    By Tracy Schruder

    As I sit down to write fiction, my stomach fills with butterflies, fluttering wildly in anticipation of diving into the world of my latest creation. It’s a feeling that’s both exhilarating and terrifying, like standing at the edge of a rollercoaster, ready to plummet into the unknown. The rush of excitement is intoxicating, and I can’t help but feel a sense of trepidation, wondering what wonders and challenges await me in this new world.

    As I open up one of my stories, I’m transported to a realm of wonder, a world of vibrant colors, textured landscapes, and pulsing life. I become lost in a maze of my imagination, where characters spring to life, and plot twists unfold like a slow-burning fire. The world unfolds before me, a canvas of endless possibilities, and I delight in watching my characters navigate the complexities of their world, revealing their strengths and weaknesses, and pushing them to grow.

    Creating new scenarios and challenges for my characters is an enormous thrill, like solving a puzzle or crafting an intricate dance. I love crafting the backdrop against which their stories unfold, building intricate histories, and weaving subtle threads of magic into the fabric of reality.

    My visualization skills are so vivid that the worlds I create feel almost palpable, like I could step into them at any moment or one of my more curious characters could step out.

    As I write, I feel my mind expand, my thoughts untangling like a knot unraveling from an old worn-out sneaker that was knotted tight, years ago. It’s as if I’ve been given permission to unleash my creativity, to let my imagination run wild and free. I’ve been so focused on writing memoir-style stories, scientific articles, theories, and curiosities that I’ve rarely had time to explore writing fiction. But I’m ready to put in the effort, to dive back into this world of wonder and magic.

    The world outside recedes, and I’m left with only the gentle hum of creativity, guiding me forward. It’s a feeling of pure joy, unencumbered by doubts or fears, where the only limit is my own imagination. We don’t know the outcome, but that’s where the real joy comes from – the journey, not the destination.

    And when I finally lay down my pen, exhausted but satisfied, I’m left with the sense of having been on a wild journey, one that’s left me breathless and transformed.

    The silent still voice that whispers in my ear, “that’s enough for today, my heart,” is both a benediction and a promise – a reminder that the world of fantasy is always waiting, just beyond the veil, ready to whisk me away once more.

  • Facts May Be Peppered With Fiction

    By Tracy Schruder

    Honesty in writing is of the utmost importance, yet our unique perspectives and experiences shape the way we all tell our stories. Two people from the same family can recall the same event, but their memories and emotions can differ vastly. Our minds capture moments that leave a lasting impact, and these memories are often tied to strong emotions.

    When we write about these experiences, our individual perspectives shine through. For instance, a childhood Christmas memory that was disappointing for me might be a fond memory for my sibling, simply because we had different expectations and experiences. When we share these stories, even with honesty, our words can be perceived differently by others who were present.

    This can lead to challenges, especially from those who might nitpick or dispute our version of events. The paradox lies in the fact that our truth might not be someone else’s truth. When confronted with differing accounts, emotions can run high, and accusations of dishonesty can arise.

    To avoid unnecessary conflict, I like to offer a warning to my readers: “Some facts may be peppered with fiction.”

    I can only write from my own personal perceptions and memories. No harm is ever intended.

    If you’re sensitive to differing perspectives, it might be best to approach my work with an open mind. For those who can appreciate the nuances, I’m glad you’re here to share in the journey.

  • Embracing the Spontaneity of Writing

    By Tracy Schruder

    As a writer, I’ve often been asked about my writing ritual. Do I have a dedicated space? A specific time of day? A consistent routine? My answer is always the same: I don’t have a ritual. Instead, I’m driven by spontaneous inspiration.

    The Power of Presence and Wonder

    I’ve tried to develop a routine, to force myself into a structured writing schedule. But it never seems to stick. I’ve come to realize that my writing is fueled by presence, curiosity, and a deep sense of wonder. When I’m fully engaged in the world around me, ideas begin to flow.

    The Rush of Inspiration

    Most days, I’m filled with excitement as spontaneous subject ideas or inspired stories rush into my mind. The information pours in so quickly that I can hardly type fast enough to keep up. Characters and locations take shape as if they’re downloading in perfect sequence.

    Embracing the Unknown

    For me, writing is an act of surrender. I let go of my need for control and allow the story to unfold. It’s a thrilling and unpredictable process, full of twists and turns. And it’s in this unknown that I find my greatest inspiration.

    A Writing Life Without Rituals

    While many writers swear by their rituals, I’ve come to embrace the spontaneity of my writing process. It’s a reminder that creativity can’t be forced or scheduled. Sometimes, the best things in life are the ones we don’t plan for.
