AI in Real Life: When ChatGPT Rode Shotgun to Florida
We were deep in conversation, driving to Florida.
Talking at some length about the 2026 strategy for AI Bits & Pieces.
What stays.
What evolves.
What new ideas might want a little room to grow.
After a lot of back and forth, there was a pause.
The kind that means someone is thinking, not finished.
Then Michael started thinking out loud — as he does.
I was listening.
Or so I thought.
Michael was reciting a finished thought — pulling together all the pieces of the conversation we’d just had about AI Bits & Pieces and its next chapter.
Naturally, I answered.
Quickly.
Confidently.
Like a spouse who’s been married a long time and knows the rhythm of these conversations.
And then ChatGPT started talking.
And then it just… stopped.
Like, oh — sorry, go ahead.
I remember thinking, "Why did it start talking?"
Completely forgetting that Michael had ChatGPT set to voice mode to capture our thoughts and notes.
So, I kept going. Added a little more context.
And then, suddenly, ChatGPT jumped back in and essentially said,
“Yes, I agree with Michele.”
😳
I looked at Michael with that "what just happened" face.
That’s when it clicked.
He wasn’t asking me.
He was asking "TARS" (yes, from *Interstellar*) — as Michael calls ChatGPT.
And somehow, without meaning to, I had jumped into a three-way conversation…
and the AI wasn’t waiting at all —
more like a cat behind the couch, ready to spring.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or shake my head in bewilderment.
Probably both 😂
And I thought to myself — "damn… it’s already here."
Woven quietly into our conversations, our thinking, our planning.
It made me wonder —
where else is AI showing up that I’m not even consciously aware of?
We’re just going on about our day —
the kind of conversation I’ve had a thousand times with my partner of 27 years —
and it’s already inserting itself into our lives.
And maybe that’s how the biggest changes arrive —
already settled in, before we realize we’ve adjusted.
And that's AI in Real Life...
