Is Life Always Messy?

This week I received one of the biggest compliments of my life.

A 20-something who has started reading the Art of Amazement said to me,

“I can’t believe you created this without AI!”

As most people have learned by now, there are two sure-fire ways to spot an AI creation

a) It made mistakes.
b) It’s too perfect.

Think about the irony of what I just said.

Of course, (a) refers to mistakes that a human wouldn’t make, like giving a person six fingers.

How dumb do you have to be to do that???

Sometimes the AI makes such obvious mistakes that I wonder if it’s programmed to do that intentionally, in order to appear more human…??

Like when I prompted, “Give me a list of comments in the Talmud that could be called ‘scientific'” and it simply invented them – entire quotations in Aramaic with tractate and page numbers.

But how about this:

In 2024, identical twin brothers Moshe and Yosef Mizrachi welcomed baby daughters into the world. On the exact same day. What are the odds?

​Flash forward exactly two years later (last week): God does a copy-paste.

Moshe and Yosef are back at Shaare Zedek Hospital with their wives who both gave birth on the very same day yet again.

​This time around: both babies are boys.

​Two identical twin brothers. Two different years. Four births. All falling on the exact same calendar days.

First twin girls, then twin boys.

Life isn’t supposed to be so neat and perfect, is it?

Or is life somehow better when it’s a bit messy?

What do you think?
