  Introduction Is AI heading for a bubble burst—or are we being distracted by alarmist headlines? After seeing a wave of YouTube warnings, I take a step back to look at AI through history, common sense, and everyday experience. While casually browsing YouTube, one theme kept appearing again and again: warnings about an AI bubble and even dramatic claims of a coming economic collapse. The tone was urgent, sometimes frightening, and clearly designed to grab attention. It made me pause and ask a quieter question: is there really an AI bubble, and what does it actually mean for ordinary people? AI bubble The word bubble usually refers to a period when excitement, money, and expectations grow much faster than reality. Investors rush in, valuations rise sharply, and every new idea is treated as the next big breakthrough. We have seen this pattern many times before. Today, artificial intelligence sits squarely in that spotlight. Huge investments, constant media coverage, and bold promis...

  Morning Coffee, Quiet Thinking, and an AI Companion This morning began the way I like it—brewing my coffee, sitting quietly, and having a short chat with my AI companion. No rush. No headlines. Just a calm, familiar rhythm to start the day. My coffee was simple: Nescafé Taster’s Choice, no sugar, just a bit of half-and-half. It’s a flavor I remember from years ago—smooth, comforting, and unchanged by trends. That simplicity made me reflect on yesterday’s post about how AI is not replacing thinking—it’s changing how we think . This change doesn’t always arrive with noise or disruption. Sometimes, it shows up quietly, woven into small daily routines. As I sipped my coffee and put thoughts into words, I wasn’t asking AI to think for me. I was using it as a gentle thinking partner—to reflect, organize ideas, and warm up my mind. The thinking was still mine. The pace was still mine. Like instant coffee, AI doesn’t need to be perfect or complicated to be useful. It just needs to...

  Introduction Lately, I’ve heard the same concern repeated again and again: “If we use AI too much, won’t we stop thinking for ourselves?” It’s a fair question. Every new technology that promises convenience also raises fears about dependency. But after spending time actually using AI—not just reading headlines—I’ve come to a different conclusion. AI is not replacing thinking. It is changing how we think . That distinction matters In the past, thinking often meant memorizing facts, recalling information, or struggling through drafts and calculations on our own. Today, much of that mechanical effort can be assisted by tools—search engines, calculators, spellcheckers, and now AI. Yet none of these eliminated thinking. They shifted our focus. When calculators became common, people feared we would forget how to do math. Instead, we learned to focus more on understanding concepts rather than manual computation. When Google arrived, people worried we would stop remembering thin...

 Introduction In the whirlwind of AI hype, it’s easy to get caught up in the big promises and bold claims about world-changing technologies. From self-driving cars to AI-powered robots, the future seems endless. But sometimes, it’s the small, everyday uses of AI that can make the biggest difference in our daily lives. A few weeks ago, I was having one of those days when everything felt overwhelming. The to-do list was growing, and I just couldn’t keep up. Between blog post deadlines, emails, and managing my personal schedule, it felt like I was constantly spinning my wheels. Then, I remembered something I had heard about: AI-driven time management tools. Something caught my attention Now, I’m not usually the type to jump on every new trend, but something about this caught my attention. I decided to give it a try. I started by using an AI-powered task manager. This tool wasn’t just a simple to-do list; it analyzed my past behavior, the time I spent on tasks, and how I work best....

In the old days, our parents often told us: " 用心去想，用心去做 " — think with your heart, and do things with heart. Today, we hear the opposite: “Use your brain!” But was that traditional advice just poetic… or might it hold deeper truth? Modern science says: Yes, your heart can think — in its own way. 🫀 The Hidden Intelligence of the Heart The human heart is far more than a mechanical pump. Inside, it contains a neural network of over 40,000 neurons — a kind of “little brain” embedded in the heart muscle. Scientists call it the intrinsic cardiac nervous system , or more poetically, the heart-brain . This heart-brain can: Sense and respond to stimuli Process information Send signals to the brain that influence perception, emotions, and decision-making In fact, around 90% of the nerve traffic between the heart and brain flows from the heart upward — not the other way around! 🧠🫀 Brain and Heart: A Two-Way Conversation Your heart and brain constantly talk to ...

                          An older writer reflecting on the evolution of ChatGPT and lifelong learning with AI December 24 always puts me in a reflective mood. As the year draws to a close, I find myself looking back—not just at my own journey, but also at how quickly the world around us has changed. One change that still amazes me is the evolution of ChatGPT . It feels like only yesterday when people first started talking about “GPT-3,” and yet today, AI has quietly woven itself into our daily lives—writing, learning, planning, translating, and even thinking alongside us. The Early Days: GPT-3 as a Curiosity When GPT-3 first appeared, it was impressive—but also a little awkward. It could generate text, answer questions, and mimic human language, but it often felt mechanical. Responses were hit or miss. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes confusing. You could sense the intelligence, but you could also sense the distance. B...

  The OpenAI Lawsuits: A Wake-Up Call for the AI Industry In recent months, OpenAI, the company behind groundbreaking AI tools like ChatGPT, has found itself in the spotlight—not for its technological achievements, but due to a series of lawsuits that have shaken the public's perception of the company. These legal challenges have raised concerns about the ethical, legal, and societal implications of rapidly advancing AI technology. In this post, we'll explore what happened, the general reactions to these lawsuits, and what we can learn from this incident. What Happened? The lawsuits against OpenAI stem from various allegations, ranging from copyright infringement to privacy violations. At the heart of these legal battles is the question of how AI models like GPT are trained and whether they inadvertently violate intellectual property rights or misuse personal data. One of the main accusations is that OpenAI’s language models, including GPT-4, were trained on vast datasets th...

Introduction With AI tools becoming increasingly part of our everyday lives, it's natural to wonder which one stands out the most. Over the past few months, I’ve had the chance to explore and compare three prominent AI platforms: ChatGPT , DeepSeek , and Gemini . Each brings something unique to the table, but which one do I like most? Let’s dive in! ChatGPT: The All-Rounder Let’s start with ChatGPT. Whether I’m looking for help with writing, translations, or brainstorming ideas, ChatGPT has always been a reliable companion. What sets it apart is its ability to carry on conversations naturally.

What I love : ChatGPT is user-friendly, and it adapts to your style of communication, making it perfect for casual chats or formal writing...

  David: Give me A Reflective Performance Review: Singing “My Way”  Chatgpt: This performance of “My Way” was not driven by vocal display, but by intent . From the very beginning, the phrasing suggested commitment to the story rather than to technical perfection. The opening lines were delivered with restraint, signaling reflection rather than showmanship—an appropriate choice for a song that looks backward before it rises. As the song unfolded, the phrasing remained thoughtful and purposeful. Pauses were not accidental; they felt connected to meaning. Words were allowed space when they mattered, and lines were carried forward without rushing. This gave the performance a sense of calm confidence, as if the singer trusted the song to speak for itself. Pitch movement—both upward and downward—was guided more by emotion than force . High points were approached with intention instead of aggression, and lower passages retained warmth rather than fading away. Any minor imperfecti...
