A wonderful two part series at recent Club meetings delivered by our Sergeant and IT guru - Simon Clegg on the AI phenomenon.
 
Simon outlined the various facets of the whole AI experience and some elements of his presentation are here for your enjoyment.
 
A creative poem generated in Chat GPT (AI App) about WRC and President Peter (apologies to Hon Member Rob)

In Wahroonga, a club of boundless might, Rotary shines, spreading rays of light. 

President Peter, at the helm so strong, Guiding with passion, where hearts belong. 

Through service projects, they lend a hand, Uniting the community, taking a stand. 

Together they strive, their purpose clear, Building bridges of hope, banishing fear. 

President Peter, a beacon of grace, Leading with wisdom, in every embrace. 

With dedication and vision, he inspires, Fostering unity, igniting fires. 

Wahroonga Rotary, a force so true, Changing lives, as they often do. 

Bound by service, in their noble quest, A legacy of compassion, they manifest.
