It’s not like we weren’t paying attention to AI before ChatGPT. It’s just that generative AI, like ChatGPT, is different. Way different. And its capabilities have led to an onslaught of articles and chatter about the generative AI tech darlings Midjourney, DALL-E, and ChatGPT. What’s so different about generative AI?

Yup, I know that I left you with a bit of a cliffhanger in last week's article. It was all about our societal challenge with busyness. Why do members tell me they don’t engage? Time. They are too busy. Well, that’s depressing, isn’t it? How do we have even a speck of a chance against something as big as time? If the people we want to engage are too busy, they are too busy.
