Apparently it has arrived. Plan Review Utilizing AI

Very interesting and informative podcast series right now on the Ezra Klein Show. First episode covers the current state of affairs of LLM/AI, and how to most effectively use the tools at hand. And to address an earlier statement about not losing our jobs to AI before we all retire; We're talking months now, not years. If you haven't begun to learn how to use AI in your work on the daily, I would suggest you start NOW!

Okay, 2 cups of coffee and an hour and 17 minutes...and yes very informative. Happy to say I did not TLDR (too long didn't read) or TLSTI (too long slept thru it). Both seem to be a "thing" for me these days, in spite of my passion for all things A.I. I will say this...this is a snapshot. It's already 3 days old and things have changed...new revelations, new deep dives, new uses, new models or versions and new approaches to all of this. There is no doubt we are creating a digital life form. How soon it becomes a Building Official or a log home designer is anybody's guess. But "sooner" is a good bet. "Better, Faster, Cheaper, Safer".
 
I know I'm at the end of the parade. Heck, even my code change proposal will be nearly the last one heard a week from Monday.
 
So yesterday I started a text conversation with GPT4o about log home plans & design. Stunned I am with the breadth of knowledge he she it disgorged. It is voice activated so I'm off to buy a good microphone and headset (don't want to bother the wife with endless conversations going on in my office. I should say one sided conversations.) I can give it a voice...probably not Scarlett Johansson. Hmmmm.... how about a Swedish accent and I'll call him Svenn?
