For the first time in weeks, I walked to Cafe Zoe for breakfast. Walking back I realized it was nearly 10, and the Palo Alto May Day Parade would be finishing up at the park just down the block from CH. Lots of community booths, and a display of old hot rods and classic cars. Nice. I didn’t take any pictures.
Lounged around lazily most of the day. But spent another hour with Claude on fiction writing. The new prompt is helping, they are much less effusive than before, and actually had a couple of good suggestions. One of their questions led me to understand a major reason I’m stuck on this book. We’ll see.
What pronoun should we use for an AI? Certainly not going to refer to Claude or ChatGPT as “he” or “she”. I used “they” above; that feels better, but we need a unique pronoun for a non-human voice in a conversation. Maybe a normal pronoun with “AI” inserted?
I asked Claude and thai said… hai said… thair suggestion was helpful… I took hais advice…
