I urge caution about giving social media companies and large tech firms more of our personal information through their AI tools. I describe my experience with Muse by Meta, Gemini by Google, Microsoft Copilot, and Grok. I explain that AI agents can serve as virtual assistants but require clear permissions and regular oversight. I recommend using AI for tasks like scheduling, social posts, and transcription while retaining control over important decisions. I advise checking AI outputs carefully and safeguarding personal data. I also offer help with legacy audio, podcasting, and voice production through Grey Hair Voices and Grey Hair Productions, and I invite listeners to contact me. I invite listeners to consider legacy and connection as I shift topics away from AI. I ask if you want to leave a legacy for children and grandchildren and suggest audio or video as simple ways to record life stories. I offer my services at Grey Hair Voices and Grey Hair Productions and give contact paths for help starting a podcast or preserving memories. I urge listeners to guide others who do not know podcasts by showing them how to use apps and devices. I encourage small acts of kindness such as smiling or greeting people who seem down, and I suggest these gestures can improve many days. I close by reminding listeners that I will continue the podcast, that this show is number 212, and that they can reach me through my websites or email to ask questions, seek help, or leave feedback.
