Went to a minute clinic yesterday and was asked what brought me in, my first urge was to say, car. I answered, truthfully, Google search. They told me chatGPT is one of their main responses.

AI is becoming as scary as my first desktop PC!

When it knows, it knows. Or not.
I love that the iPhone is sitting ini the Lotus position.

In Martoonerville: Black Mirror, Gary trains an AI to be his therapist, best friend and wife. What can possibly go wrong?
