I started my philosophy degree over 20 years ago, and returned to finish it last year. I've got just a couple semesters to go. Never, in all that time, has a professor told me that the style I have naturally developed for myself fits in a defined genre of non-fiction that blends memoir, analysis, and critique. You know who did? ChatGPT.

Do you know about the field of AI Ethics? You can enter it via a philosophy background. I'm studying it right now on Coursera. I met someone who works in this field (as a consultant) and she said she loves her job, so I had to explore it.

I'm coming to it from a background in anthropology and work in the rights and permissions field. Chat GPT helped me create a plan to follow to pursue this field and how I can position myself to enter it with my background. It's a great career advisor!

My interest leans more towards consciousness and personhood, and that intersects with my interests in hyperreality and fandom/fictional/new religions. ChatGPT is helping me develop a portfolio strategy of solo research projects towards goals as a consultant and teacher in the AI space!

I'm leaning more into getting an intellectually-stimulating and well-paid job in the very near future (maybe even this year) as I am in danger of being laid off my current job (and I don't like it and it's low-paid AND I feel like I'm wasting my life doing it). But studying consciousness is something I would love - intersecting neurosicence, philosophy and psychology...and tech (AI, etc.). I would be a full-time student if I didn't need to work for money. Education is expensive though. I was lucky when I finished my undergrad in 1996 in SF, that my tuition was literally only $1000 per semester for full-time. If I wanted credit for the specialization I'm doing in Coursera at CU Boulder (it's through them), it would cost me $6K intead of $50/month. So no credit for me.
