Zoom ‘n Gloom

We work on site 
to build rapport
And yet
we host all meetings
v i r t u a l l y
to get the transcript
for feeding into AI
so that AI can tell us
the nuances
the expressions
the underlying meaning
the subtext that we missed
because we were remote
and not in person
where we could have
smelled the anger
or sensed the joy
and so we rely on GPTs
to parse the paragraphs
into pixelated
go-forward postures
so that we can understand
what one human
said to another
about technology
and people
and processes.

And then we manually
upload he output
onto a cloud-based
storage repository
where we feed it
into another GPT
to confirm the analysis
which we then pull down
and manually type
into a cloud-based spreadsheet
which we then feed
to another GPT
to fuel an agent
that will tell us
how to do our jobs.

In the end, I suppose:
It is not efficient,
but it is expensive!

Poet, writer, photographer and slightly distracted day-dreamer who muses on (gestures at everything) from the petty to the profound. On a semi-serious, fully earnest search for meaning in the mayhem. Perimenopausal, melanin-deprived, irony-enhanced recovering perfectionist Type A+ millennial woman. She balances the ever-continuing quest to Know Better/Do Better, with the distinct ego-death of parenting a smart, full-throated child who was raised to know the power of her voice. Mothering a teen means catching a side-eye in almost every interaction. Diana navigates the minutiae of everyday life through seeking the magical in the mundane. Follow along and laugh with her as the world flames out!
