Seeing the orderly and sensible state of the US business climate, I'm sure we're having to beat foreign investors off with sticks. Who wouldn't want to build a factory in such a place?

I encountered these wackadoos with surprising frequency when I was a pipe organ builder. They would frequently make extravagant claims about the supposed purposes/powers of pre-'flood' instruments not realizing organs were still in production, sometimes in the same buildings from the same patterns.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
