Over the past two years, I have written more than 100 articles focused on senior citizens—their lives, experiences, and possibilities. The Never Say Retired mission is dedicated to empowering seniors to remain active, engaged, and valuable contributors to society.

Three years ago, on 30 November 2022, a new name—ChatGPT—surprised me as much as it did the world.
