I've experimented with how to best use AI for consulting work. I've also played with it. I tried, for fun, to have AI produce jokes with some very limited success. About 1 in 40 were amusing. The rest were totally lame, puzzling or poor jokes. What do you think of the AI generate joke below?

Plane and Military Blackhawk helicopter Collision at Reagan National Airport. 60 passenger and 4 crew. Plane partly in the Potomac River according to CNN. Shocking and tragic.

It would be fun to have a real time counter on BlueSky so we could see at all times how many members/subscribers there are!

We have to check AI facts as they are often wrong. Early on, AI errors were called HALLUCINATIONS. They should really be called FABRICATIONS as AI uses data to fabricate what is likely. Often what is likely doesn't exist in the real world. Gemini agrees and ChatGPT prefers hallucination. Thoughts?

On my first day as a consultant, I made the 10 second commute from the kitchen to the office in my home. I told my friends and family if I wasn't earning a living by 6 months, I would get a "real job." Fortunately, it never happened. Soon, I realized that I should have made the leap years before.

Recently, I started a YouTube channel, Consultant Freedom (www.youtube.com/channel/UCnM...). I'd welcome any comments on what topics would be most useful.
