During a moment of deep personal reflection I decided to-ask an artificial intelligence bot a question. If if color were a mood and mood were a person, what color would I be?
I landed on ChatGPT as the AI prototype I would enlist as my partner in crime.
ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by OpenAI designed to process and generate human-like text based on the input it receives. ChatGPT is a form of generative AI that lets users enter prompts to receive humanlike images, text or videos that are created by artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science focused on building computers and machines that are able to reason, learn, and act in such a way that would normally require human intelligence and that involves data whose scale exceeds what humans can reasonably analyze.
Creepy, I know.
After I typed in the question into ChatGPT’s message box, I received this response to my personal reflection question:
If color represents mood and mood were a person, you would likely embody deep indigo with hints of golden amber.
- Indigo reflects your introspective, intuitive, and spiritual nature, capturing both the depth of your creativity and the wisdom you’ve gathered through life’s transitions.
- The golden amber signifies warmth, passion, and your desire to inspire growth in others, symbolizing the light you bring to difficult spaces, whether through your art, ministry, or advocacy.
This combination reflects your duality: a thoughtful, reflective soul who also radiates a steady, hopeful energy.
Admittedly, I was WOWED by the answer and it left me wondering more about myself and who I was. I felt wonderfully, beautifully understood.
I decided a little further research was warranted.
Indigo is a color in the blue family, but it has a unique identity. It sits between blue and violet on the color spectrum, often described as a deep, rich blue with a hint of purple. In nature, indigo is the color of the dye derived from the indigo plant, and it’s also one of the traditional colors of the rainbow as identified by Isaac Newton. Its mix of cool and warm undertones gives it a versatile and mysterious quality.
Golden amber belongs to the yellow-orange color family. It’s a warm, rich hue that combines the vibrancy of yellow with the earthy depth of orange. The golden aspect adds a metallic or luminous quality, evoking a sense of warmth, energy, and sophistication. Amber, in its natural state as fossilized tree resin, has variations in shade, but golden amber specifically leans toward a glowing, honey-like tone.
I wondered “How legit is this personal reflection?”
The Bible emphasizes the importance of personal reflection and examining one’s heart and actions. Personal reflection is a way to align our lives with God’s wisdom and purpose.
Personal reflection, when approached in the light of God’s truth, can lead to deeper spiritual understanding and a more faithful life. Personal reflection offers us the opportunity to seek God’s guidance and correction, leading us closer to Him.
Am I a thoughtful, reflective soul who also radiates a steady, hopeful energy?
Until my next post…
