That it will never come again

Is what makes life so sweet.

     – Emily Dickinson

Like a lot of folks, I’ve spent some time lately experimenting with new AI tools and pondering all of the possibilities, the perilous and the profound. 

One application with a real squirm factor is whether AI tools can – or should – help with emotional human tasks, like writing love letters. Sure, it is great to have some coaching when the right words just won’t come, but that is kind of the point – that some things are worth the struggle.

In this era of faster, easier, cheaper, what is – still – worthy of our effort?

Love is laborious.

Empathy is expensive. 

Worth every minute.

Worth every penny.
