@Talya, Thank you for your response. I am guessing you are referring to what I posted regarding the DW documentary about AI Slop? Honestly, I am not sure what you mean, but there are many skills I have learned over the years, way before Ai. I am not comparing myself to any persons chapter. The one thing I have recently been working on is learning Portuguese. That is a skill I wish I already possessed. I have to be patient, but I am not relying on AI to learn Portuguese.

@Tamsin Naika Muito obrigada Tamsin.
"Build Android apps in minutes with simple prompts"
This is a bit 'advanced' perhaps, but worth mentioning to give you a sense of what's developing, what's possible, and so, so rapidly 😶

Hi Carl, I know you have become a fan of AI, and it can be put to good use, but there is indeed a very negative side to it. You might be interested in reading this article from the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/may/08/ai-datacenters-democracy
What's YOUR problem? Let's see what we can do with AI...
Thank you for being here. Like I said, this community is all about keeping up. having fun and maybe even making some extra income with AI, for over-50s. The best way to do this will be with REAL problems that you have, not just tech' challenges, but anything that is causing you stress - health, finances, fitness, whatever - and seeing what solutions, insight and relief AI might be able to bring. So please pop your 50+ worries, challenges and problems in the comments below, and we'll see what it/we can do together. Example challenges might include: 1. Managing Multiple Chronic Conditions 2. Maintaining Cognitive Vitality 3. Fear of Isolated Falls & Accidents 4. Managing Modern Technology 5. Complex Household Maintenance 6. Transitioning Workforce Skills 7. Navigating Complex Retirement Planning 8. Combatting Loneliness and Social Isolation 9. Filtering Information & Identifying Scams 10. Managing Sensory Changes (Those are Gemini's suggestions 😉) Please share yours...
