Just spent some time with ChatGPT 5, and wow, this new model is a whole different beast. It is sharper, and honestly, a bit like getting too intelligent for its own good.
It’s definitely pushing the boundaries.
Have you tried #ChatGPT 5?

A 24-year-old colleague asked me:
“What would you do differently if you were my age again?”
Until that moment, I still thought of myself as young. Then I remembered, compared to him I am a veteran.
My answer?
Pay more attention to the future. Pay attention to #AI.

What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
A long time ago, a mentor told me, “Work is one piece of the puzzle & the value you give it gets smaller as you get older.”
Careers end. But family, friendships, & faith are lifetime commitments.
What about you?

Not a great painter😒. Not even close. But the passion? That’s real.
AI can create in seconds. What it can’t do is feel.
Art is emotion, not just output.
The human edge is still here. For now, and maybe always.
