The story so far

I originally became interested in AI based on what I heard from two very different sources: clients at the marketing agency where I consult on product messaging and content strategy and my school age kids. The former are both eager to harness AI as a low-cost content-generation tool and worried about their jobs, and the latter want to make AI voices say "butt."

To gain a better understanding of this technology and what it might mean for my family and our future, I started looking into how AI works, which involved a crash course in machine learning, learning about prompting and Python, and even training an image-generation model. I've also been learning a little SwiftUI so I can incorporate AI voices into iPhone apps for my kids.

This process has been fascinating and also pretty regularly frustrating, as I try to wrap my mind around new concepts and struggle through software bugs. But I'm sticking with it, both because I'm excited about what I might eventually build and increasingly convinced it will become a fixture in our daily lives.

Stay tuned. This page is a work in progress. Please use this form to provide feedback, suggest topics for future experiments, or just say hey.
