I don’t think I want to read Proust (sorry) but I do love learning new things. I used to be a bit addicted to academic learning. Always enrolling in one course or another. I’ve given that up now (too expensive and I really don’t need any more degrees) but I often think about doing just one more!

I still do a lot of short courses.

Don’t be sorry, I would have said the same a year ago. I blame Clara Reads Proust. 😄

I wish I could do another degree, but at the moment it’s not possible, financially and time wise. But I also think that there are so many free resources nowadays that I don’t really need to go to university.

I came to the same conclusion. I am currently learning about AI and it’s blowing my mind. I felt I needed to be more informed before having a view.

Talking about using our brains! People just ask ChatGPT everything instead of looking it up themselves. Oh well, I’ll probably die on that hill…

You won’t be alone! But honestly, I use AI and my brain.

Oh, I know that it’s possible to use both, but I so often hear ‘ChatGPT says…’ that I ask myself how many people still do.

Clearly not enough judging by the state of the world.
