...or is it. You Pick, You Choose.

Raising two girls, especially in the early years, often brought unexpected challenges that highlighted the importance of fairness. Finances were tight, and many things, including treats, had to be shared. A single candy bar, for example, often turned into a battleground of who got the bigger piece. To avoid endless arguments, we implemented a simple yet effective system: one child would cut the candy bar in half, while the other would get the first pick. This "you cut, you pick" method ensured that the cutter had every incentive to be as fair as possible, knowing they would not get to choose their piece.

As time went on and our finances improved, we thought we had found a solution to end the candy bar squabbles once and for all. Instead of splitting a single bar, we decided to let each girl pick their own, thinking it would give them the freedom to enjoy their own treat without comparisons. But soon, cries of "hers is better," "hers is bigger," and "I want some of hers!" filled the house, bringing us right back to square one.

In the end, we found ourselves returning to the same old strategy—two candy bars, and still the rule: one cuts, the other picks. It turned out, fairness wasn't about having more; it was about finding a balance and learning to share, a lesson that seemed to stick even as they grew older.

Ther story above is true. And it is about my girls. But it was written 100% by ChatGPT.

Effective use of AI tools is not about rocket science level prompt engineering as many AI gurus would have you believe. It is about Unleashing the Power of ChatGPT ...the real power.

You pick!
