Ai, Ai...

AI = Artificial Intelligence.

But it could just as easily mean Always Interfering, Answer Indicator, or even Alien Invasion. (Feel free to add your own — the sillier the better.)

I do use AI from time to time: grammar, punctuation etc, but— mostly for spell cheque, naturally…

Apparently, some comedians are using it too, though with mixed success. I ask it things occasionally, but it’s not really my style. It loves an emoji punchline — as if to say, “This is where you laugh. 👉😄”What do you use it for?

Some people even use it for romantic flirtation. A cure for loneliness, perhaps?I once experimented by asking Siri to say something nice to me. It’s response: “You’re just like an underground citrus. Sublime.” Not bad — like a Christmas cracker joke written by a fruit farmer.

Speaking of seasonal nonsense…

"Do it! Do it! Do it! I thought it would take me out of my comfort zone, but it’s taken me more into my comfort zone that I have ever been! Thank you!"

It’s a release!"

It’s a brilliant opportunity to laugh & bring some silly into your life, with a sense of freedom & safety to explore other perspectives."
