What does AI ‘think’ about living on your own?

Asking AI What to do It is all too easy these days to consult Chat GBT, co-pilot, Gemini etc and let it do your thinking for you so I have pasted the response I got from Gemini at the bottom of this post and meanwhile I have written from my heart what I have observed to be true in my life, this time around, on this planet.

My MRI scan experience + the pleasure of talking to strangers

So off to the RUH have my MRI scan. Magnetic Resonance Imaging machines!  Gosh, these are big beasts which require a room to themselves and can range in cost between £0.6 and £1.9 million. The construction of MRI suites can easily add another £325,000 to the total cost. For those who might be having a scan let me run through what actually happens.

My ever growing ‘to do’ list

I woke up this morning with such a list of things to do; I realised (again) that time management is very important, indeed key, to some sort of sanity. Today between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM I spent time listening to Trans world radio and in particular good news broadcasting, teaching the Bible through media.
