    What did we do for amusement before many devices and sites have
    institute AI in their system.

    The other day I used it to create a bio, It was pure fiction but amusing fiction.

    Today my wife was texting my daughters that she had some cloths to
    donate. As she typed text the predictive text complete the sentence
    with "Blue birds". Now we are going to have to go out and find some
    Blue birds to donate to Good Well.

    I remember writing about a process in Windows called "LoadPowerProfile".
    The spelling checker changed it to "laryngectomize".

    That's quite the "free range chicken" algorithm they've got running there :-) The two words have the letter "L" in common, so "pretty close".

    If Keith needs modern amusement, it's cats riding around the house on the Roomba.
