hello 2024

The customary hello is happening about 8 months late to the blog world. Just when I had almost thought that the streak of this is gonna go away, made a split second decision to write something after all!

It's kinda nice, revisiting old stuff. But it's the schedule that's become quite erratic that the priority toward a creative area is not receiving much love. Very wrong, but that's what it is. Again, revisiting is like an endless chain. It's very similar to some search I'd have to do on WhatsApp, and that keyword leads to a story exchange of the chats from 8 years back and thus starts an endless scrolling. 

Someone must charge for the number of scrolls, swipes and what not. Come to think of it, we are being charged. We pay in seconds. Sometimes minutes. All the rush, all the hurriedness that was there is all lost. There is no requirement to sharpen skills. Everything is available. To an extent that the lines between real and AI are just a faint blur.

But does that mean we need to stop creating? I'm sure ChatGPT would have made a better blog and used better language too. We have AI generating songs out of dead singers voices. All this will continue and this will eventually and hopefully get to a point where it actually improves the quality of life.

Anyways, the good old blogging reminds me of things I need to get back to. 

Till then, then!
