Make the effort

What’s the hurry?

When my son’s older, he could use AI to generate an email to me. Or he could write one himself, using his words. Words we learned together in the living room reading stories together. Words that say so much more than the words themselves. It takes longer, but it means so much more.

When we go on family trips, I could AI generate a story to give him to read in the car. Or I could draw one myself, using my ideas and his interests. One in a little comic, that makes him giggle, maybe sets a challenge for while we’re on the trip, one that comes with a prize at the end. It takes longer, but it means so much more.

We don’t get long on this marble.

Make the effort.
