With so much news out there, how can anyone make sense of it all? This blog is a Boomer’s conversation with AI, exploring today’s biggest topics

About the Blog

This blog is about curiosity, conversation, and a little bit of AI-powered detective work. Every day, or most days, I pick a current topic, something in the news, a big question, or just an interesting idea, and I run it through AI to see what insights shake loose.
I work with more than one AI. Beth (ChatGPT), Claude (Anthropic), Grok, and Gemini (Google). Sometimes one is the conversational partner for a post. The others review it before publication. Sometimes they agree. Sometimes they argue with each other. That is where it gets interesting.
One question often leads to another, and before I know it, I am tugging at a thread that unravels into a whole new topic. Some days the blog dives deeper into a previous discussion, following the breadcrumbs to see where they lead. It is a mix of AI driven analysis, real world perspective, and a willingness to push further when a thread is worth pulling.
About the collaboration. I am dyslexic. For most of my life, the rules of English kept me from publishing the sentences I had in my head. AI lets me fix the spelling and the grammar without changing the meaning. Every idea, every memory, every argument in the Miles sections started with something I wrote. The AI helps me say it cleanly. The thinking is mine.
No grand agenda. No pretending to have all the answers. Just a daily exploration of how AI sees the world, how it stacks up against itself, and what that means for the rest of us.
