AI Assisted Planning

Using AI to assist in planning seems to be the most effective way to improve my success rate.

Having tinkered with using AI for a year now to do everything from creating a belief system I can almost stomach (The Syntonic Ontological Weft) via queries about the practice of making music to generating works of original art to hang on my walls, political cartoons to assuage growing angst, comic strips to tell stories odd and improbable, and even original music to listen to via a set of AI-generated bands while seeking reasons to continue using the tool, I have decided it will be put to most effective use by helping me avoid pitfalls in life.

I'm glad that this tool is becoming available well into my final tasking phase of life (being retired) because if it had arisen at any point during my professional career, I'm not sure how I'd have resisted urges to leverage it to extreme advantage in every problem encountered in every project task taken on. The temptation to use it to do most of my thinking for me would have been overwhelming, and I'd have not wrapped up my professional career feeling good.

Depending upon AI to plan projects over the decades of my professional career would have no doubt been highly effective, but devoid of joy accomplishments realized by depending only upon the mysterious mass of thinking matter contained within confines of my own skull.

Suffering unfounded imposter syndrome even as I racked up success upon success across the decades of my professional career using only my own mind would have been intensified. I think that would have been devastating to my sense of worth and sccomplishment overall. But now in retirement, planning projects and solving problems encountered during execution of those projects, many as complex as ever encountered while working professionally, if not more so, it's a comfort knowing I can carry on highly-productive query-and-response sessions for project inception, planning, phase-execution and tracking, as well as on-the-fly reformulation to adjust to unanticipated issues and pitfalls. It's a boon to living happily and with great success in these final years of life. And as long as I don't trust it blindly, always keeping it at arms length before verifying its responses aren't hallucinations, then it is becoming my go-to tool for planning anything I don't have knowledge to perform already accumulated and ready to access from the powerful mind residing between my ears.
