27 Years

January 15, 2024, marks the 27th year since I moved away from Brazil.

I’m now as old as my dad was when we left.

It’s bizarre to think that I’ve been in Canada (and before that, the US) for way longer than I lived in my home country.

But the truth is that my life is Canadian now. It has been for a long time. My children are Canadian, my house is in Canada, my cars have Ontario plates, I’m a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, I have pledged allegiance to the Queen of England and her heirs formally twice now.

But at the same time, I’m still Brazilian.

It’s weird.

Discernment is when you figure out what that is.

And blessedness is having the ability to do so.

It’s been a while since I last blogged, but today’s topic is so compelling that I couldn’t resist sharing my thoughts. I’ve been putting this off for too long 🙂

In this post, I’ll introduce you to ChatGPT, an AI language model that’s making a significant impact on the way we communicate. We’ll explore its inner workings, its relationship with data, and why it doesn’t completely align with the definition of intelligence. Additionally, I’ll offer some tips on how to use ChatGPT effectively, with real-life examples, while discussing its potential applications and limitations.
