I recorded a quick video today because something happened that was both ridiculous and strangely educational.
Like many of you, I’ve been experimenting with AI tools like ChatGPT. And to be clear — I actually find them useful. They can help organize thoughts, connect ideas, and speed up certain types of work.
But sometimes… they also do things that are completely absurd.
And what happened today was a perfect example.
When AI Goes Completely Off the Rails
I was working on something simple: an infographic based on what I call the Five Conditions for Healing:
Safety – Does the body feel safe enough to heal?
Structure – Is the physical body free of restriction?
Flow – Are circulation and movement happening?
Regulation – Emotional and nervous system balance
Purpose – Spiritual direction and meaning
Pretty straightforward.
I asked ChatGPT to generate an infographic. The first one it made actually looked pretty good. All I wanted was one small change: it had duplicated one line of text, so I simply asked it to remove the duplicate.
That’s it.
One small correction.
Instead, it gave me something completely unrelated titled:
“Social Work Assessment Questions.”
Not even close.
So I corrected it again.
Then it gave me something about:
“What Kids and Animals Have in Common.”
At this point I started laughing. Because this is what people are afraid is going to replace humanity?
Eventually — after some very direct feedback (let’s just say I wasn’t using PG language) — it finally produced something usable again.
Which got me thinking.
Maybe AI Isn’t the Problem
Maybe the real issue isn’t AI.
Maybe the real issue is how easily humans forget something simple:
Tools still require intelligence from the user.
AI doesn’t replace discernment.
It doesn’t replace experience.
It doesn’t replace wisdom.
It just amplifies what you already bring to it.
If you don’t know what you’re looking for, it won’t magically know either.
The Real Lesson: Settle Down
Interestingly, this connects directly to something I’ve been working on personally — and something I’m writing about in a book I’m calling:
Settle Down
Because honestly?
This is advice I need just as much as anyone else.
What I see constantly in health consultations is people who have been searching for so long they don’t know how to stop searching — even after they start getting answers.
They go from:
Protocol → supplement → therapy → detox → expert → new theory → new fear
At some point we have to ask:
What are we actually searching for?
Because once you have direction, the next step usually isn’t more searching.
It’s implementation.
It’s patience.
It’s consistency.
It’s settling down enough to let the body reorganize.
The Circle of Concern vs Circle of Influence
This also reminded me of an exercise from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
It describes two circles:
Circle of Concern
Everything you worry about.
Circle of Influence
What you can actually do something about.
Most people spend enormous energy worrying about things outside their influence:
AI taking over
Chemtrails
Global systems
Other people’s beliefs
Meanwhile, the real leverage is always inside the second circle:
Your structure
Your emotional regulation
Your daily habits
Your relationships
Your purpose
You can’t fix everything.
But you can always work on your terrain.
The Same Healing Order Still Applies
At the end of the day, the same progression I was trying to illustrate in that infographic still holds true:
First:
Align structure
Remove physical restrictions and pressure patterns.
Then:
Restore flow
Circulation, respiration, elimination.
Then:
Allow regulation
Emotional and nervous system balance becomes possible.
Then:
Reconnect to purpose
Because lack of direction is one of the most overlooked stressors I see in people’s health.
Many people don’t just have physical problems.
They have direction problems.
Walk Your Path (Not Everyone Else’s)
Another realization I’ve had recently:
I’m not here to convince everyone.
I’m not here to fix the world.
I’m here to walk my path and share with those who are genuinely interested.
Some people want help.
Some people don’t.
Some friends you talk terrain with.
Some friends you just talk about the weather with.
And that’s okay.
Trying to force information on people who aren’t asking for it creates more stress than healing.
So Is AI Taking Over?
After today?
I’d say we’re safe for a while.
If anything, today reminded me that intelligence still matters more than artificial intelligence.
And maybe the bigger lesson is this:
Don’t panic about the future.
Don’t chase every new fear.
Don’t overcomplicate healing.
Sometimes the most advanced strategy is still:
Settle down.
Focus on what you can influence.
Walk your path.
Everything else tends to organize from there.
If this resonates with you, feel free to share it.
And if you’re working on your own healing journey, maybe the question isn’t:
“What else should I try?”
Maybe the question is:
“Where do I need to settle down and trust the process?”
