    Cathay O Reta: what AI and narcotics have in common

    In this episode, web/blog writer, author and speaker Cathay O. Reta compares AI to “free” samples of a powerful drug that stimulate the pleasure centers of your brain until you’re hooked! Cathay and the host share what they’ve learned about AI and how their opinions have changed since the inception of the podcast. Cathay Reta is on a mission to help people live their passion, know their purpose and to live fully. It’s something she knows about because traveling alone, at the age of 64 after her husband’s death left her widowed, she got to know herself again when she walked the Camino de Santiago, a 483-mile pilgrimage trail in Spain. There she found the courage to pursue her dream of being an author and speaker. She has self-published three books, including Keep Walking, Your Heart Will Catch Up – a memoir of her hike on the Camino. Cathay has diverse background with a B.A. degree in music and a 40-year career managing volunteers and designing and delivering training for adult literacy programs on local, state, and national levels. She has published articles in American Libraries, Public Library Quarterly, and Community Investments, and has written numerous instructional guides and materials. Her greatest strength is highlighting life’s experiences and observations and turning them into relatable lessons for others, and helping others to do the same. When not pouring her heart out at the computer, Cathay enjoys time outdoors in the Pacific Northwest where she’s a newlywed with her husband Ray, a hot rod enthusiast and auto body and paint man. He’s teaching her a lot — like to not tell a guy his car is cute; the proper term is badass. Whether speaking or writing, or daydreaming or learning new skills, Cathay’s message is YOU can do anything. YOU are unstoppable. YOU are amazing! Now learn to live it!#authorinterview #Chatgpt #writingwithai #authorsontheair
