12:28:31     From Suman  to  Hosts and panelists : Thanks, I am a invidia stock holder

12:33:04     From Jose Ramos : another example: Cognitive Health Screening. See https://o2gventures.com/posttags/

12:33:19     From Jose Ramos : https://o2gventures.com/posttags/

12:34:15     From Mary Scott : I use AI to generate poems each month for a church-sponsored senior group

12:34:55     From zahida hasan : like Siri, I ask her for the weather for the next day for instance

12:35:51     From Suman  to  Hosts and panelists : I use Alexa or Google gadgets for weather

12:36:17     From Mary Scott : The poems are for birthdays

12:36:19     From Jose Ramos : I use it to monitor https://o2gventures.com/posttags/my Cognitive Health.

12:36:22     From Martin Bailey : I use it to initially construct presentations to show seniors and others on preventing & recognize scams and frauds......I ask initial question then use AIs answer to develop additional text.....

12:36:22     From Carole Berthiaume : use for travel plans

12:36:32     From Rosalind Rice : And Alexa which is a low threshold for beginners and skeptics.

12:36:50     From Jose Ramos : I use it to monitor my cognitive health ...https://o2gventures.com/posttags/

12:37:48     From zahida hasan : wow, I am already doing it, I didn't know that...using Siri on my apple ipad, weather related questions or politics

12:38:24     From MarthaLeah Chaiken : I teach an online college course. I am freaked out because Chat GPT can complete any of the assignments or quizzes in about one second.

12:38:57     From Julie Cramer : To all the beginners out there - I highly recommend WACI Monday!  As Michael always tell us, the only bad question is the one that is not asked!  I never miss it.

12:39:14     From Christine Smith : JUDY...YES! That's brilliant. Our brains & bodies can have the similar lively responses to perceived interactions as we do to in-person interactions!

12:39:32     From Malcolm Spitalnick - Sebastian, Fla.  to  Carole Berthiaume and all panelists : Thanks!!!  Need that for an upcoming cruise.

12:39:35     From Joe Nowak : You can have the AI create a short story for grandchildren. The story can have characters with the same name as the child, and their age, etc.

12:41:16     From Detlef Adolff  to  Hosts and panelists : Tony uses AI to help him with programming.

12:43:17     From john waller : Michael can you put several AI tools in the chat?

12:43:45     From anne rush  to  Hosts and panelists : thanks steve for that info I requested

12:43:52     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : Cyndie Taylor 12:36 PM 

Many of the AI companies allow the user to try their version for free.  I use it to help write blogs and also my monthly newsletters

12:44:05     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : Jose Ramos 12:38 PM 

Answer: Ai with voice can classify your Cognitive State as Normal, MCI or Early Dementia. See ..https://o2gventures.com/posttags/

12:44:13     From Ann Miller : I am another beginner Julie refers to, and some of the things WACI talks about it are completely new and mysterious to me, but I always learn things from answers given by Michael and by some of the knowledgeable people on your panel today.

12:44:23     From zahida hasan : my fried Derek used it to generate a paragraph, which it corrected after he wrote it, about journallism

12:44:23     From Jose Ramos : ChatGPT is owned by Open AI. That company does generate images with another product called Dall-E.

12:45:38     From Tony of Silly-Con Valley : the paid version of chatgpt includes DALL-E

12:45:53     From Barb Dewell : I belong to some online art challenge groups that provide a prompt.  Then I create AI Art that fits into the prompt requirements.  Next, I go to an AI text creation program and ask for a haiku  or short poem describing the artwork.  I put those into either Adobe Elements or another program and add, delete and change the art and haiku to make it my own.

12:47:41     From Gabriel Goldberg : Someone asked Delta airlines chatbot a question, it gave wrong answer. Person relied on it and had a problem and Delta tried to disavow responsibility for chatbot. Delta was forced to make food on mistake.

12:47:44     From diane mccormack  to  Hosts and panelists : Are Alexa and Siri early AI?

12:47:53     From Gabriel Goldberg : ma

12:47:58     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : Anonymous Attendee 12:41 PM 

So Steve, you mentioned during a few community meetings that the person who wrote the dementia play had spoken about using AI to save his voice so family would still feel they are speaking to them when our loved ones and family members pass away and are no longer here or health changes affect voices.

 Could someone on panel explain how you could capture voice of loved ones and feel as of you are having conversation with those individuals.

12:48:09     From Gabriel Goldberg : Make good, not food!

12:49:29     From Ann Miller : "good"<,--->"food"   most of us type that way, Gabriel!

12:50:42     From Ann Miller : We might use AI in a safe and secure way but it seems to  have a lot of scary possibilities in the world at large

12:50:53     From MarthaLeah Chaiken : Should we be concerned about what personal information we feed into these programs?

12:52:59     From Steve Dodge : Eleven Labs has great voice cloning. We have used it for our text to speech requirements. Once again, try it for free. It would be a great way to clone all the voices in your family. There are some security risks with voice cloning, but with care they can be very useful. Check them out at https://elevenlabs.io

12:53:17     From Malcolm Spitalnick - Sebastian, Fla.  to  Steve Gurney - ProAging Community(Direct Message) : I had no real sense of personal use of personal AI. Not anymore! Thanks. And Michael & Judy.

12:54:04     From zahida hasan : thank you very helpfullll really enjoyed Michael and Judy,

12:54:18     From Jennifer Gerynowicz  to  Hosts and panelists : I am curious about whether or not I put in a new company name I’m considering if that is kept private. As example.

12:54:43     From john waller : There was an article in The New York Times in the past week or two about parents who generated the voice of the children who had been killed in school attacks by using a sentence

12:55:32     From john waller : that was previously recorded from phone recordings

12:56:21     From zahida hasan : this is a workshop that can have another session in the future, after we've experimented and come up with ideas and questions

12:56:44     From Louise Morman  to  Hosts and panelists : Great webinar.  Thanks!

12:59:28     From Gabriel Goldberg : What fun, AI that hallucinates writing programs. What could go wrong?

13:00:18     From Joe Nowak : Night Café has daily challenges to create images based on a particular theme.

13:00:54     From Gabriel Goldberg : Programs have bugs, even AI code will have bugs. Who'll debug that, more AI? AI assists programmers, shouldn't replace them.

13:02:01     From Tony of Silly-Con Valley : Gabriel, that’s what I was talking about.there will be people who have more advanced skills that can check the code and he results.

13:03:45     From zahida hasan : I go on senior support

13:04:28     From Ann Miller : You can do things all day long on senior Planet

13:04:30     From zahida hasan : I mean senior planet

13:04:46     From Malcolm Spitalnick - Sebastian, Fla.  to  Ann Miller and all panelists : Hi.

13:04:55     From Ann Miller : I prefer Zoom b/c I am lazy

13:05:38     From Barb Dewell : I've never attended a zoom meeting where I didn't learn something.  Good for our bodies and good for our brains.

13:06:05     From Gabriel Goldberg : Tony - so AI writes code and someone checks it? "Checking" code won't find all bugs. Who'll find/fix bugs? More AI or the code checkers? And, of course, budget or time crunch - first thing skipped will be human code checking.

13:06:14     From Ann Miller : I have medical restrictions that limit my ability to attend things in person so Zoom is important to me.

13:06:51     From Malcolm Spitalnick - Sebastian, Fla.  to  Ann Miller and all panelists : Soooo agree!

13:06:55     From Barb Dewell : I don't use search engines anymore, only AI.

13:06:58     From Arlene Good : I live in a rural area of Virginia where these classes are not available.

13:07:05     From Robert Steilen : I goto church by zoom.

13:07:12     From Malcolm Spitalnick - Sebastian, Fla.  to  Ann Miller and all panelists : I don't have yet., but point taken.

13:07:40     From Christine Smith : Yes: augmenting our in-person life with interactive platforms and FAR better for body, mind, feelings than sinking into a sofa with TV

13:08:07     From zahida hasan : zoom was a life saver, during covid-19 especially and then changed the world

13:08:38     From Ann Miller  to  Hosts and panelists : Steve!!-there is some heavy brain power at Senior Planet

13:08:39     From Joe Nowak : If you want person to person contact in the real world, folks can check their local senior centers. They usually have a multitude of activities and events geared for seniors.

13:08:47     From Tony of Silly-Con Valley : gabriel, there will be ALWAYS be more advanced personnel watching over the generated code, viewing it, testing it, and validating it

13:08:53     From zahida hasan : okay I won't be afraid

13:09:13     From zahida hasan : thank you and really enjoyed it, got the gist of the idea...bye for now, Steve

13:09:27     From Ann Miller  to  Hosts and panelists : Terrific Job, Everyone  Thank you

13:09:52     From jack Goldenberg  to  Hosts and panelists : Thank you bringing aI for Seniors a topic worth exploring.It was en eye-opener.

13:10:32     From Barbara Weidhorn : Very interesting.  Thank you all.

13:10:57     From Mary Chilcutt  to  Hosts and panelists : Thank you all!! Another fabulous webinar Steve! Can’t wait to explore more! ????????

13:11:14     From Gabriel Goldberg : Tony - good luck with that. ai is an assistant, not a replacement. "Watching over" is a hallucination, like people in images with three arms and six fingers

13:11:53     From Steve Handler  to  Hosts and panelists : Great program I appreciate all of the different panelists

13:12:21     From zahida hasan : very impressive group

13:12:25     From Tony of Silly-Con Valley : gabriel, i’ve been in this space for over 45 years. stupidity doers exist but so does a belief in delivering value to the consumer.

13:12:40     From diane mccormack  to  Hosts and panelists : Thank you all.  I find I am intrigued

13:12:56     From Gabriel Goldberg : I've been in it longer, done operating system dev
