Is the concept that AI is already deceiving us a new one?
The argument is now being made about AI's ability to deceive us. Yet has that not always been the case. An example being the mere act of playing a game on an iPhone which will get the app manipulating the game pieces to out-strategize your chance of winning, and this is maybe the simplest manoeuvre of them all. Then add in the myriad of ways humans have programmed AI to thwart criminals, protect our passwords etc., and keep the Internet safe, and we now open up a rather extensively monstrous can of worms.

Maybe an answer to the Vocal international payment Dilemma
I was recently approached by a creator who has won multiple Top Stories on Vocal, but resides outside of the Stripe jurisdiction, or area of operation. She has so far not been able to collect her winnings.

Talented Black creators spotlight #5. Jonathan Apollo.
I find that this beautiful young and talented Black man is particularly hard on himself. He has achieved his "self image" by going about his life in a different way from his peers, and has done a marvelous job of it without realizing how truly unique that makes him. Jonathan has a tendency towards humility which in no way detracts from his charm and masculinity. A much admired trait in today's fast paced 'self" first environment.

Now, should I be flattered that I see my Black Creator spotlight story recreated in Chapters by a copycat?
Exasperatingly, I am scrolling through all the annoying obviously AI created stories in the communities to find new and relatively new people to highlight their stories on my humble endeavor to feel useful here. Honestly, I now feel like a dinosaur in the Vocal writing strata, so many of the tenured creators have jumped ship, or are taking hiatus-es, a lively revival is needed, something revolutionary is hoped and longed for.
