The AI Grandad - Curiosity Never Retires

Writer, grandad, and lifelong learner diving into the world of artificial intelligence. Proving curiosity doesn’t have an expiry date.

The blank page is gone. What remains is harder. Not how do I start? But what am I actually trying to say? And do I mean it?

Retirement didn't make me creative. It removed the excuses I'd been using for thirty-five years not to be. There's a difference.

Curiosity is the only qualification that doesn't expire. Not with age. Not with technology. Not with any amount of change in the tools available.

I don't care how you made it. I care whether it landed. Whether it said something true. That's the only question worth asking about any creative work.

AI doesn't hit publish. A human does. Every piece of content that enters the world passed through a human decision. The slop problem was always a human problem.

The machine reflects the quality of the curiosity you bring to it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Bring nothing and it confirms nothing.

The first draft used to take three hours. Now it takes three minutes. The hating it part takes exactly the same amount of time.

The exam system rewards the correct answer under pressure. The AI world rewards the best question asked with genuine curiosity. We're still relying too much on the exam system.

Access without wisdom is just noise with better equipment. That's what worries me about AI and young people.

The children in classrooms today will outlive every assumption we're currently making about AI. Are we preparing them honestly?

The question you keep avoiding is almost always the one worth asking. The avoidance is the clue.

The unexpected still requires a human being willing to ask a question nobody thought to ask. That gap is shrinking. But it's still there.

"Education has always been about preparing children for the future. The problem is we keep preparing them for our past instead."

"We spent decades teaching children to find the right answer quickly. And then we built AI, which finds the right answer instantly. If that's all we taught them, we've left them with nothing."

"A prompt is not an instruction. It's an invitation. The difference between those two things is the difference between getting output and doing creative work."

"We keep asking whether AI is creative. Wrong question. The right question is whether the human working with AI is creative. The machine reflects the quality of the curiosity you bring to it."

"AI hasn't killed the author. It's just made authorship stranger, more distributed, harder to pin down. Which might be exactly what authorship needed."

“Good prompting isn't about getting the answers you want. It's about asking questions you didn't know you needed to ask. That's not a technical skill. That's a creative one."

"The question I most want my grandchildren to be able to answer isn't what can AI do. It's what should it do. And why. And for whom. If we don't teach them to ask that, we've failed them."

"My grandchildren will grow up thinking collaboration with AI is completely normal. The way I grew up thinking libraries were normal. Both are just ways of reaching beyond what you know alone."
