also, if one can't type with more than two fingers, then one shouldn't use a keyboard.

Folks that can't use their hands might benefit from AI through brain wave interpretation... and they might be the one to solve unified field theory - but on no... it's AI

People who can't write music, but have an inspiration in their hearts, should not... wait, what? It's AI

and, if Weird Al (with an L) had access to AI (with an i) at the time in question... imagine the stuff he would have created!

Seriously, people... wake up and realise that we are all just the grit beneath the wheel of the steam roller of history.

AI (with an i) is here to stay. You can't fight it - might as well learn to leverage it.

And BTW... AL (with an L) is also here to stay...

Also... please note that I didn't use any emoji. Why would I use one of those "new fan-dangled things" to transmit a feeling when I can use 10 fingers on a keyboard to write a sentence that tells everyone that what I wrote might be serious or sarcasm?

Stop being so silly. No one suggested that. I love tech that actually helps, and I had an HP laser printer highplainsdem 17 hrs ago #44

One of my concerns... 2naSalit 21 hrs ago #35

You don't want it stealing YOUR stuff, but you're fine with it being trained on all the writing by other people highplainsdem 17 hrs ago #45
