AI, My Thoughts and Scarpetta #Blogchatterbloghop

By

I had completed watching the first season of Scarpetta. Honestly, at first, I was stepping out of my comfort zone (not enjoying family drama in a twisted tale of a serial killer hunt), and somehow started liking the built-in family chaos around Dr Scarpetta. But later on, when that drama became the whole point, and the search was reduced to a sudden revelation by the time we were almost exhausted about who was getting duped, who was in a relationship, and who was doing what in that very family, I certainly got disappointed. (My thought: absolutely. I heard people praising it.) The whole point of my lament is an interesting but somewhat scary concept that was a major highlight of the Family Drama in the thriller web series on Prime. Dr Scarpetta's ( played convincingly by Nicole Kidman) niece, the nerdy, brilliant geek Lucy,  who had lost her wife, Janet, had invented an AI version of the latter to be with her 24/7. 


Oh no, no, I ain't giving away more, as of now. I am starting the discussion on AI with something I recently watched: this Web Series. Although the thought of a resurrected AI version of a dead partner may sound somewhat sweet, loving, and touching, it does not change the fact that Lucy's partner is actually dead, no more, gone. And that makes it scarier when you realise the girl is actually moving away from the real world and getting stuck in the four walls of her room, to be close to the love of her life, who is no longer there. That converts the whole concept of AI into a well-designed trap, a cage, a prison where there is no escape. 

Again, you may think I am completely deviating from the theme of the week, about my relationship with AI, but frankly, I had tried to use it but had failed completely. I had tried to develop story concepts around a theme, but the concepts that emerged were so "not me" that I immediately drifted away. So, other than grammatical check and some sentence construction fixes, my tryst with AI, when it comes to writing, is next to nothing. Yes, I won't hide that I use ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Meta AI to generate and fix images for my write-ups, but yes, that's all about it. 

My thoughts and ideas mostly do not match AI's. So yesterday, when I searched for the best romantic Hindi films of the 90s, all the AI platforms mentioned above, yielded results that hardly matched my preferences. The same happened with romantic songs from the 90s and the top 5 band songs from the 90s. So, here you see, I have a love-hate relationship with AI. While I appreciate the accuracy with which it yields the images of my choice, I am utterly disappointed with the ideas and concepts it provides. 

So, I am not moving away from my ideas and concepts when it comes to writing. I am never ever going to give up on that. I have faith in my own creativity and imaginative mind. I am also grateful to my writing/blogging community, with whom I am constantly evolving. So, I ain't need any AI as of now. My writing, my ideas, my concepts, and my faith in me- I am good.

That Same Forest, That Same Fire #BlogchatterBloghop

Marc was looking at the remnants of what used to be his vast villa once. He could see clouds of smoke forming in certain places. It was still hot out there, with fire fragments flowing all over. In front of the gate was a huge pile of broken items- some turned to ashes and some half-broken. He could see something shining through the pile. He approached near to find a partially broken framed photograph. He picked it up to find one half of a picture of a beautiful 25-year-old woman with wavy blond hair and dreamy hazel eyes- his Lucy.  Fire - devastating, damaging & destructive! It has taken away all he has lived with for the last 5 years. Every object, every article, and every piece had been restoring Lucy's touch, her memories, and the feeling of her presence that brought life to all things inanimate. The garden where she grew her roses, the pool where she used to swim like a swan, all gulped by the deadly hunger of the forest fire!!  Tears rolled down the 55-year-old's ag...

Self-Reflection and Realization

Every year, before the onset of Durga Puja, readers of Bengali literature receive some precious gifts in the form of the Sharadiya Pujabarshiki (Yearly Literary Magazine). For the past 70 years or so, we have seen some outstanding works from the Creme' of Bengali literature like Samaresh Basu, Sunil Ganguly, Shirshendu Mukherjee, Ashapurna Devi and many others being published in these magazines for the first time. This trend continues; this year, too, my husband gifted me a few such magazines before Durga Puja. Kishore Bharati is one of the magazines I got and today I picked a story called "Vaijayantimala"  from that. for November's #TBRChallenge .

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...
