I asked ChatGPT to profile me. It wrote, “once you’ve chosen the uncontrollable thing, you try like hell to control it.”
See, I’ve planned a year in Africa. I booked a 60-day overland drive through Southern Africa. I’m climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro even though I have no hiking experience. I’m traveling through fifteen countries, several non-English speaking ones.
But the irony that Chat is referring to is that I’ve been non-stop messaging it about Mt. Kilimanjaro – how tall is it, what’s the grade, how many miles each day. I’ve booked a driving itinerary that sticks to the main roads. I have an Excel spreadsheet including a dashboard, packing lists, project planner, master planner, budget overview, budget reconciliation, place profiles, among others.
I’ve mapped the route carefully. And I know I’ll change it. Maybe ChatGPT is right…
