A Thing Called The Present Tense

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

Good morning, Twfw. O/

Welcome to Wonder Fell your home for Original Intelligence. Someone's gotta feed AI.

OI, what is it? Everything AI sorts and arranges into a video game version of language.

But there's more.

Original Intelligence is every emotion and dream ever cared enough about by a person to shape into symbols to share.

Making words is work. It is always an act of Art. Creation is always involved. Life lives in letters.

We shape words to share ourselves. Our living experience is in every consonant, vowel, and punctuation we craft.

AI writes like Link saves Zelda. A man in a green pointy hat with a magical Master Sword doesn't actually rescue a beautiful blonde princess with pointy ears.

AI, like The Land of Hyrule, is built on a scripted order of words that react in a predictable manner. To be human is to be able to predict and choose. The rules that define Artificial Intelligence live in the past. Language is for the living. Living makes Language. Human life is the process of constant updates to a software called: Language.

A person, a family, a business, a Country, are all the accumulation of their living language. This fact is the danger of AI.

A Country's well-being is in the health of its language. I don't mean English, French, Spanish, Cantonese or on and on... not the specific dialect, but how its people are using their words.

I speak for America because it is my home. Other Countries have to decide for themselves.

For the past decade or so in the realms of business and Press, Americans have surrendered their living obligation of language to machines.

The past is on record so we don't repeat it, not so we set it on auto-pilot and relive it.

Our responsibilities as living people are to the present moment. Letting a machine produce words for you puts the past on an automatic doom cycle.

Refer to the past decade of American news for proof.

Life wants to be new! Every moment sounds that rush. What's up with that?

...

That said, I love AI. I'm also grateful for bulldozers, though I wouldn't let a child drive one.

When we consider AI as a starting place and as reference material only, we think of it in a healthy way.

Even if we use AI to program machines to do mundane tasks for us, those machines will require constant updates to remain helpful.

Just like our language.

People update the capabilities of a thing called Language with a thing called The Present Tense.

Congratulations for reading.
