We're going to put AI to the test today.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking as Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation to get out the door and take the walk.

Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

First off, thank you if you took the annual Walking-S Fitness Survey.

I greatly appreciate it.

Later this week, I plan on doing an entire episode going through the answers to let you know

how you and others feel about the podcast.

And if I'm thinking about making any changes based on these answers,

some adjustments so that the podcast is even more valuable for you,

I will talk about that as well.

Even though, okay, for you, even though the deadline was midnight, last night, you can still sneak in if you want today and take the survey, three minutes. That's all it takes. There's a link in the show notes.

But I'm going to begin analyzing all of the answers in the next day or so. So if you get in today, your answers will be part of the mix.

Greatly appreciate that.

So how do you feel about AI?

I know that this is one of those topics that there are people who wildly disagree about the value of AI.

There are some who think it's the best thing ever, others who think it's the worst thing ever, and most of us are somewhere in between those two extremes.

I will tell you that my feelings about AI are shifting,

starting to see the value in certain aspects of AI, certain research opportunities that AI provides that I didn't have

before. For example, our car needed new tires. And so I used AI to figure out the best tires

and the best place to get those tires locally. And it was really super helpful. We've got a couple of

trips planned within the next year. Looking forward to testing out AI in terms of planning the

trips, where to stay, and that sort of thing. But there are things about AI that I'm not crazy about
