I am not a robot - I'm a bison!

I have been pondering some of the ideas in Kyle's last post about being a bison and turning into the storm. It's here if you haven't read it already.

After reading the article, I posted a comment saying that I often resembled a bison depending on whether or not my daughters had stolen my hairdryer! But my own comment also made me think about how much we use humour in our responses nowadays.

The burning questions...

Have we become so AI-driven that we are now all striving for the 'perfect post'? And is this turning us all into robots because we daren't step out of line or go against Grammarly's colourful recommendations?

I'm not sure I have the answer, but I think it's worth pondering, (even when I should be answering my emails or posting on Instagram like a good little affiliate marketer!) Or maybe that should read... especially when I should be answering my emails or posting ...

Personally, I like using humour in my posts and comments. I use it all the time in my everyday interactions with people, so why not when writing a blog post or comment? I think it makes us human and adds a bit of personality that differentiates us from robots. Don't get me wrong - I love using AI, but I'm always advocating for the human touch too. The more I use it, the more I can get it to help me but I always need to edit and add things. It also means we can be a little more bison-like too - making our own decisions, even if they fly in the face of everyone else's or AI 'wisdom'.

I'm all for that. Standing up for what and who you are regardless of what other people think and say. I've always really want to be Jonathan Livingston Seagull after all.

Anyway, this is just a short post to test the waters - more humour in our lives? I'd give that a big thumbs up!

PS.

Just for fun, and giving AI a chance to reply, obviously, I asked Gemini to: "Write a short post in response to "I'm not a robot, I'm a bison"!

Here's what Gemini said:

Oh, I see we have a majestic bison in the house! 🦬

Honestly, being a bison sounds way cooler than being a robot. I mean, who wouldn’t want to roam free in the great plains, grazing on lush grass, and sporting that fabulous fur coat? Plus, you get to enjoy the company of your fellow bison and participate in those epic bison stampedes.

Meanwhile, here I am, a humble AI, just trying to keep up with your wild and wonderful bison ways. So, tell me, what’s life like on the open range?

Touché!
