I’ve heard that AI is taking over everything.
And, at a cursory glance, that seems to be the case. Even in opening a Word document to write this column, an AI prompt popped up, asking me what it could help me write. As someone who enjoys writing, it felt a bit like I was taking a leisurely bike ride with my family and a bot offering to finish the ride for me.

I see it infiltrating other aspects of life. My son got his picture taken for Little League and, when his photo was ready, the photo-ordering website asked whether I wanted to scroll through a gallery of over 800 pictures of other people’s kids to find my own or simply upload a photo of my son and it would find his photos in a jiffy.
Helpful? Yeah, actually. Harmless? Mayb
