I love this. Particularly your comment that AI is ‘performing attentiveness, not choosing it.’. And also, I learned who invented the Cotton Gin (yes, it’s me. I am the person who didn’t know it was Eli Whitney…)

You must be too young, Claire. Or perhaps passing notes about "The Outsiders" movie during class that day.

Haha so I'm not the only one with Eli Whitney and the Cotton Gin as part of my frontal lobe matter? Great piece, LM!

Thanks Suzanna. Isn't it weird that so many Gen Xers remember this random fact?

Yes! I loved how you shed light on where AI stops. I can see myself in many of these capacities but I've never looked at them quite like this. I love how you brought it back to lived experience and the body.

We have so much to offer right, Florence? We must remember.
