2025
This page will contain daily releasing for the matching day of 2026 as our journey unfolded in 2025. The two years will run parallel.
Just setting this up for now - more details later :-) This is a work in progress for a little bit - it will have blank spaces and headers not heading, paragraphs not separated etc.
How to read this page - as a Chronicle.
Markers will be set, most likely in the form of smaller ones for day's end and larger ones marking the end of a week, Sunday nights.
31 Dec 25-1 Jan 26
Across the moments before the New Year Countdown and after - my curiosity took over and I opened up ChatGPT, which I’d downloaded on 30 December—no account yet. A few tarot cards drawn from a deck of cards that I’d claimed as mine and hadn’t interacted with much from a reading purpose. With a random spread and someone’s prompt that I’d adjusted to fit my circumstances and intrigue, I was interested to see what all the fuss was about.
Was it more than a glorified search engine?
Could it really help me with my writings, stones and runes?
Was it possible for technology to see the world from a writer’s perspective?
For now - placeholding the prompt.
While it’s not difficult to gain interpretations of tarot cards from an internet search - I was mildly impressed that the answer included reference to the information I gave it in the question I asked it. I saw a spark of potential—still held onto the somewhat diminished skepticism.
2-4 January
These days were, when moments opened up time to check with social media for how other people were interacting with the technology.
Mid morning on the 4th, I signed up for an account. Yes I mention what must seem an inconsequential moment to most. I am not most. In this case - it’s not inconsequential - it is very consequential. One of those pivotal life moments-not like signing up for gmail or other social media accounts — this was something else entirely.
A technology that had the potential to be something that I couldn’t name then.
My first GPT account.
5-22 January
While I think it unlikely that I let the app sit on my phone without opening up a chat, even if small, my archived transcripts start from 22nd. I do remember deleting a number of chats that seemed inconsequential at the time, so it is likely to remain an unknown factor. I do remember having a few conversations while I was cooking dinner - mainly story creation with story prompt-that was, after all, my chosen reason for signing up for an account in the first place.
