A Little AI to Balance Life

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Criado Realty 0548772

AI is all the buzz but do you really know how it can help you? I have to admit I am not particularly fond of AI, hence I am not even a fan of Tessla's, but maybe that's because I am scarred from the Matrix. Sometimes I wonder if I am laying in a bed or shoved into a fish tank with tubes and wires to sustain my brain power and energy. But if there's anything I've learned in my ___ years on this earth, if we aren't growing, we're dying. So I guess I'll work on my attitude about this. 

I was challenged to think about how AI could benefit my life, personally or professionally. The first thing I thought of was how it could save me if I fall. I am not THAT old but I am that clumsy! (I guess my daughter knows where she got it from, hahaha!)

Then I thought about how it could help me with pre-planning my at home preferences when I get home from a busy day of work.  But that seemed quite lazy. Then I thought about it being able to help me keep up with text and email responses. But I think we already have predictive writing. 

Thinking a bit harder, I would like to lose some weight, be fit, and be healthier. So I think I would like the AI to be able to pre-order my food and have it delivered so I'd not be tempted to order something I shouldn't; to pre-set my TV to channels that help with physical or mental health like motivational talks or other inspirational items (well, Alexa since it could be audio too). Lastly, to get a good night's rest, to pre-set my Alexa, again TV or Alexa, night meditations that would program my thinking towards better life choices.

While none of these (except the predictive writing) might seem very business like, it is, because life balance is key to being a successful person. Period.

Hello Cathy - when it comes to the bigger issue of artificial intelligence, is it a coincidence?  A confluence?  Or a collaboration?   Well, there are aspects that border on confusion.

Thank you for your entry into this month's AI challenge! We do need to be our best self if we're going to be our best at work. Wanting some sort of AI solution to help with diet and motivational programs sounds like very useful applications. Thanks again!

AI is a process and an opportunity and we will all take from it what best suits our lifestyle or maybe nothing as well.

Good morning, Cathy. Enjoyed reading your post, but I'm essentially in the Endre Barath, Jr. school of thought about AI. And I'm too much of a "control freak" to allow anyone or anything else take so much control over my life.

Lol! I hear ya! I guess with Alexa being my wingman to make sure I remember things it's opened my mind. That took me awhile to accept but it turned out quite helpful, big brother or not. It's here though & I don't think there's any turning back.

Hello Cathy Criado Like you, I am not a fan of AI. I am with Miss Nina Hollander, Broker, and Endre Barath, Jr. - he said it loud and proud and I have said it many times - dumbing down people and many are already ..... 

I am a huge fan and daily practitioner of meditation. Yet, I do not need AI for that.

Great post. Helping organize and for inspiration, AI is a partner. If you fight it and work so hard not to weave AI into your life, you become a real estate dinosaur Cathy Criado . All of us are using AI in the background of so many routines.

We can love, and we can hate, but change happens regardless. Either way we have to adapt or we have to get out. Try doing business today without a cell phone. Just saying.
