A bad time.
Four frames of a comic in a cartoonish style about a woman trying to cope with a bad time. First frame: the woman is in bed, staring at nothing. She's surrounded by darkness and a white spiral. Frame two: the woman is walking with an empty expression in the street. Frame three: she enters a grocery store by slamming the door. Frame four: a close up of her face as she loudly asks for cheese.

The craziest thing I have to deal with now re: AI is what I call App Men. Every now and then, someone will come to the library and tell me they want to make an app "with AI", like "I want to make an app to identify plants, with AI". And every time, they don't know anything about plants or AI.
