Non-generative, low level 'AI' has its uses (like, autocorrect level). bu AI in general can do one.

I think advertisers know we don't like it, because every ad I block on YouTube is *not* labeled AI (blocked), but something else to get round it. e.g, this AI ad about 'writing the perfect email'.

Doing Taxes isn't the most fun, though it's fine. What is an issue is when you have to use a third party system that's non governmental, which you have to pay for, the en pay tax. And their system is slow.

It's almost like capitalism has some issues (of which is the most minor. Still though...)

Rob was a truely nice guy, always inquisitive and insightful. He was a joy to work with and made the writing fun more than anything. A deep loss to all who knew him. Please give if you can.
For anyone who can, a GoFundMe has been set up to help Rob's wife and their young daughter. Sending tons and tons of love and deepest condolences to Rob's family and friends.
