"If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you"
This possibly the most navel-gazing post I've ever made!!!
I was intrigued by a post on the excellent Prometheus in Aspic blog in which the author quoted a summary of their blog given in response to a question to AI. As AI increasingly features in our daily lives it was interesting to see how it summarised and interpreted a bloggers regular posts and the 'feel' of the blog.
So of course, thanks to unbridled vanity, I couldn't resist asking Gemini (other AI overlords are available... this is the one I use most, mainly at work), tell me about the blog 'A Wargaming Gallimaufry'...
Apparently the blog is "an active and cozy corner of the "Old School" blogging scene." I'm defintely old-school and I quite the cosiness! And it has "a personal, conversational tone that feels like chatting with a friend at a local gaming club". It picks up on the mix of posts... game reports, reviews of shows and books (although I haven't done a 'what I'm reading' post for ages so I might get round to that), and increasing reports on boardgames (true... I seem to playing a lot more of these).
The blog "serves as a digital diary of a lifelong hobbyist, documenting the evolution of projects over years rather than weeks" which I think means this is a man who paints incredibly slowly and never gets a project completed!!
It finishes with "Fun Fact: Alastair once got temporarily banned from a major wargaming forum for calling someone "a bit of a dick" during a heated argument—an incident he shared on the blog with a self-deprecating "ho hum." I've no idea where this features in the blog or why Gemini decided this was a fun fact but I stand by every word... the person in question was indeed a bit of a dick!!
So a not inaccurate take on the blog I think... now I just to ask Gemini to sort the rest of my life out!!
