A Query & A Quest

I woke up this morning to the glorious reality of a two hour weather delay. I stood for a bit in my kitchen, cupping a hot cup of coffee, and contemplated: what would I do with these two precious, unexpected hours? Well, I must have stood there a bit too long because the promised hours clearly didn’t have all sixty minutes in them. Before I knew it, the hourglass’s sand had almost drained and I was back on my regularly scheduled scramble to get to school with enough time for coffee and classroom prep.

But it all got me to thinking….what could one do in two hours time? So I asked the internet and the AI generators:

From DeepAI:

In two hours, you can accomplish a variety of tasks such as exercising, cooking a meal, reading a book, cleaning a room, watching a movie, taking a nap, working on a personal project, or even learning a new skill online. It’s a good amount of time to engage in productive activities and relax as well.

In two hours, I can respond to multiple questions, provide detailed information on a specific topic, have a conversation, offer guidance or assistance, or engage in various interactions to help users with their queries or tasks. My main goal is to be as helpful and informative as possible within the given timeframe.

Well, I don’t know about these Artificial Intelligent beings, but I, for one, was able to get in ten extra minutes on the treadmill, another cup of coffee and enough time to change my chosen outfit…twice. Maybe next time I’ll pull this up and be a little more ambitious.
