There are no ‘bad’ ways to grieve. Avoiding grief itself is not one of those ways. 😥

A still from the video I'm going to make you watch 😳

So recently I looked at how I do—and do not—use AI.

And I promise… this Daily Reminder will be the last one for a long while where I talk about the topic, but I just couldn’t let this video slide.

As far as I can tell, it landed on social media for the first time two weeks ago, and since then, the original 1m46s video on Twitter/X alone has had more than 40 million views!!

😵‍💫

(Those kinds of numbers get the old Giles Ego Construct 📦 pretty twitchy and indignant about my YouTube channel’s statistics 😆)

Anyway, if you haven’t seen it, hold on to your hat and watch it now.

I say “hold on to your hat” because if you’ve yet to watch, or read about it, it’s going to be nigh on impossible not to have a visceral reaction to it.

(I end up yelling at the screen every time every time I watch it!!! 🤣)

This is a use of AI that—for me—takes us down a very, very slippery slope.
