Ok everyone check this out,
I've been playing with "Google Bard" and find it way better than ChatGPT. Specifically because it free (for now), works with Google Docs and Google Search. It is amazingly easy to use if you have a Gmail account.
Anyway, fooling around I asked Bard to write a pro Bitcoin speech, showing from a permaculture perspective. It wrote it in about 5 seconds. After I read it I noticed it did not mention Chapter 14 in the Permaculture Designers manual which I felt was relevant.
Five seconds latter it wrote a second speech showing the relationship between chapter 14. Then I asked it to combine the speeches into one speech.
Here Is the unedited result:
Introduction
Good evening, everyone. I'm here today to talk to you about Bitcoin and permaculture. These two seemingly disparate things have a lot more in common than you might think.
Permaculture is a design philosophy that seeks to create sustainable human habitats. It's based on the principles of ecology, working with nature rather than against it. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a peer-to-peer digital currency that is designed to be secure, decentralized, and scarce.
At first glance, these two things might seem to have nothing in common. But if you look more closely, you'll see that they share some important underlying principles.
Shared Principles
Resilience: Both permaculture and Bitcoin are designed to be resilient. Permaculture systems are designed to withstand shocks and stresses, such as droughts, floods, and pests. Bitcoin is designed to be resistant to attack, both from hackers and from governments.
Efficiency: Permaculture systems are designed to use resources effectively, such as water, energy, and land. Bitcoin is designed to be a very efficient way to store and transfer value.
Openness and accessibility: Permaculture principles are freely available to anyone who wants to use them. Bitcoin is an open-source project, and anyone can participate in its development.
How Bitcoin and Permaculture Can Work Together
These shared principles suggest that Bitcoin and permaculture could work together to create a more sustainable future. Permaculture can help us to create resilient and efficient communities, while Bitcoin can help us to create a more secure and accessible financial system.
For example, Bitcoin could be used to support sustainable businesses and projects. It could also be used to fund organizations that are working to solve social or environmental problems.
In addition, Bitcoin could be used to create a more just and equitable financial system. It could help to reduce the power of central banks and financial institutions. It could also help to make it easier for people in developing countries to access financial services.
Conclusion
I believe that Bitcoin and permaculture have the potential to work together to create a world that is more just, equitable, and sustainable. I hope that you will join me in exploring this potential.
Note: those are not my words, but they are in alignment with them.
This thing is amazing, the hard thing to realize is it is WAAAAYYY simpler to use than you think it should be.
Of course I would need to check spelling, grammar, and add footnotes. All of which Google Bard can assist with. Who knows I may even be able to surpass Plant in posts per day.
Thoughts???
PEACE
