Some questions have been piling up, thought it might be time to share a couple…

• You’re writing style looks as if it has changed, what’s up?

Good observation! It has changed, or at least I am trying to make it change. The question is “why?”

Well, originally the website was all about preparedness. Then some “survival” topics crept in. Then I added “homesteading” stuff…more like long-term preparedness/survival. And then Obama came about…yikes. I started more articles about current events…and its uglier cousin “politics”. I felt it absolutely essential for situation awareness purposes. Then Trump #1 hit, then Biden, and now Trump #2. I just couldn’t help myself.

The situation in the US became such that I had to start seriously warning about what was happening and what was going to happen. All my opinion of course. But, Trump #2 really set me off…betrayal big-time! If you’ve been reading my stuff for the last 1.5 years you know that I think Trump is probably the worst president that the US has had in my lifetime. And in my opinion the Trump family is little more than an organized crime family. I’ve never seen a family get rich off Donny Boy (i.e. President) like the Trump Family has. They’ve made BILLIONS off his decisions and statements and influence peddling. Truth be told…Trump is probably the most corrupt President in the history of the United States the way he is benefiting his family’s business.

So, it became my personal mission to yell that from the mountain tops. There are lot’s of folks out there that are preppers, conservatives, etc. that have been coming to my site for years…but when I started exposing Trump they left…some with anger in their hearts. They just couldn’t handle me not suffering from TWS. That’s when I started the “Patriot” idea for posting PDF files regarding Trump and current events.

But here’s the problem…me. Well, not the way you might think. I found that after writing one of those articles I was really “down”, a dark feeling in my heart. You can’t research, find out the truth, think about it, and write about all that crap and not have it get into your head. So yes, I’ve backed off a bit.

The other “style change” you might be referring to is my use of AI. A couple months ago I started using AI to generate images/pictures. I would write a paragraph, sometimes more, then upload it to an AI program and ask it for an image that reflects what I wrote. Wow! It would produce some amazing images and info-graphics. Most of the time it hit spot-on. If not, and it needed editing, I would simply tell it to add this, take away that, change this, etc.. It was like having a personal graphic artist sitting there working for me. Nice!

After that proved to be really useful I thought about how to benefit even more. I do have a problem with typos and grammar at times. I would write a paragraph, sometimes a whole article, then upload it to AI and ask it to check for typos, spelling, and grammar. It was really helpful. Early on it would make suggestions on how to change what I wrote…I told it “no thank you.” My writing style is mine. But, I thought about it…

Now, I accept suggestions:

1. Facts and stats…I ask AI to check my facts and stats to be valid, reliable, and defensible. The same facts and stats can be interpreted multiple different ways…that’s called opinion. So the valid and reliable part is to make sure I am telling the truth. The defensible part is where it checks what I am saying to be defensible. That means my opinion is on-track and not some wild crap being thrown out there.
2. I am also asking the AI to point out my more “bombastic” statements…and suggest a better way to make my point. It usually gives me a more moderate version of my point. I weigh it and use it or not. If it means making my point more accurate and clear, then I use it, or some altered version of it. I do NOT use AI to generate any part of articles.

Where AI is being extremely useful is checking my spelling and grammar. But, I don’t feed my stuff through AI every time, maybe ½ the time give or take. I will be posting a series of articles on “economics” probably next week. I’ve been working on it for about 10 days now. I’ve used AI extensively on that project. AI has been generating graphics for me to make the information more “friendly” and understandable. I also used AI to verify my stats and figures to ensure I was passing along good information that was accurate.

So yes, you picked up the “change” in my writing style. I am trying to make my material better.

• You talk about your “flower mound”, why do you have it and what does it look like?

Here it is…

The tall black things are solar lights that make it look fantastic at night.

There are two primary reason; 1) to attract pollinators, 2) it gives color and beauty to our glamstead. If you want exact identification of plants let me know.

• You’ve talked about AI being almost “evil” and yet I can tell you are using it for pictures. Have you gone over to the dark side?

I hope there is dripping sarcasm in your question. I explained above how I am using AI. Specifically I am using an LLM version of AI for generating images such as info-graphics, some trolling pictures of various public figures, and to provide visuals of a feeling I want to convey. It also checks my spelling and grammar. But no, I have not gone over to the dark side and joined “Sky Net.” Although I did order StarLink this week.

Just for fun I posed your question to AI and asked it how to respond, here’s the response it generated

“I get why it might seem contradictory. I think of AI like any other tool — it can be used well or poorly. I’m using it to create visuals and clarify ideas, not to manipulate, harm, or mislead. Just because a tool has potential for misuse doesn’t mean using it responsibly makes someone ‘dark side.’ It’s all about how and why you use it. I’m still on the side that drinks RC Cola and grows tomatoes.”

Can you tell the difference between my writing style and AI generated style? I sure hope so.

But hang on…I told it to make it sound more like me…

“Nope. Still drinking RC Cola and growing tomatoes. I just believe tools should serve people — not replace them.”

Does it sound anything like what I would say?

This is not me…Maybe something more like…

Yeah…I got a bit carried away with the AI generated pictures. Sometimes I just like to enjoy life.
