Am I as Good as AI?

 As I sit here at my computer thinking about a topic to write about this week, I'm thinking about how AI has taken over many tasks that required me to think.  I decided to try an experiment.  I picked a very simple topic, and what follows will be the one paragraph I wrote to answer the question.  Then, I will tell you what AI wrote on the very same topic.  You be the judge.  Am I as good as AI?

Topic:  How to bring happiness to your morning (written by me)

I get up each morning with great anticipation for what the world has in store for me.  My happiness depends largely on me, and how I approach the world.  A beautiful home, fine clothes and a fancy car may give me a moment of happiness, but YOU must create your own happiness.  I plan my day.  (If you know me well, you know I already had the day planned long ago).  Happiness is a state of mind, and everyone will find happiness in a different way.  I try to start the day with a 30 minute walk.  That makes me happy.  Even though I am walking solo now (my buddy Pepper passed away), I am happy.  I may see the sunrise, and I will likely see friends and strangers who make me smile.  I call my mom, just to see if she's ok.  That makes me happy.  As I eat breakfast and catch up on over night news (which is mostly depressing), I look around the my house.  I smile.  I look at the many works of art I have hanging on the walls, and the souvenirs I have brought home from my many travels, and I feel happy, and think about my next adventure.  

Topic:  How to bring happiness to your morning (written by AI)

Creating a happy morning routine can gently set the tone for the entire day.  A key is a few simple habits that wake up the body, calm the mind, and give you something to look forward to.

1.  Start with light and fresh air

2.  Move your body (stretching, walk, yoga)

3  Have a small ritual you enjoy (a good cup of coffee, read a book, listen to music, write in a journal)

4.  Practice a minute of gratitude

5.  step away from news and e-mails early in the day

6.  plan one pleasant thing for the day 

After reading these two pieces on the same topic, I came to the conclusion that they are really similar.  My writing is more personal.  I talk about exercise, socialization, gratitude, planning my day, fresh air, just as AI did, but with examples from my own life.  For now, I'll keep writing my own words, and I will always tell you if I've used AI.
