A few months ago, a friend of mine googled me through AI. I didn’t know it was a thing.
Out of curiosity, I looked myself up today. AI creeps me out. I prefer to hold a book in my hand, make physical painting, and meet people face-to-face. Yet, I’ve had a blog since 2008, have a couple of youtube channels, and sometimes teach workshops online. There is a digital footprint.
This is the AI version of my life/ life’s work as summarized by AI today. (I don’t know where it gets Apple Music from – I personally have never put anything up on Apple Music).
