Is it real or is it AI? The line is becoming increasingly impossible to recognize, making disclosure significantly important in those situations where it matters, and how can we be sure where that is? Perhaps we should simply assume that nothing is real/actual/true/for certain and take it for granted that the House of Mirrors is where we live, and treat everything with the degree of seriousness we think it deserves. Which perhaps would have been a good idea before AI.

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
