Halle-Freaking-lujah!! The stove had display problems plus one of the elements went out on it. The fridge is not cooling properly and our garage door closes on the first try and if the buttons isn't held down only if the planets are properly aligned. Told the wife we should replace all the appliances once with something better quality than the box store junk so they might make 5 years without a major failure. As for the garage door, I looked, watched youtube videos, lubed everything, so its time to call in a pro, I'm sick of screwing with it. I just have to keep repeating home ownership is great to myself again, and again, and again, ad nauseum.......

Colleagues and clients at work who use AI to write their emails or challenge your positions. Then, when you pick up the phone to ask them questions about their email, it's clear they have absolutely no idea WTF they are talking about.

I'm seriously worried about what the world will be like in 20 years, when there's an entire generation of people who cannot express themselves at all, think for themselves, and rely on AI for everything.

Well, with my 13 year old daughter being a sample size of 1, my purely scientific consensus is that today's youths are mistrustful of AI, and actually actively try to avoid it.  My daughter is quite fanatical in her disowning of anything AI related, going so far as to berate me for my occasional use of it. 

So, there may be hope for future generations.

Same with my youngest (22), but the other two use it to tweak pictures or plan home staging ideas.
