It is so definitive, though. I tell it, "Hey bro, that's only 387 words and it needs to be 500." And instead of saying, "Oh, ok, I will attempt it again, I am sorry." It states, with authority, "My apologies, here is a version that is 500 words." And then it is 402.

It is like it can't count. Which is fucking hilarious to me.

I tried to get chatGPT to write me a quick synopsis of a movie that was exactly 500 words long. It couldn't do it. And I would say, hey, that's 384 words and this needs to be 500. Then the bot would apologize and say "Oh okay here is one that's 500 words!" And it would be 470 or something.

No ma'am. I asked my rhetorical question because I was in my twenties in the late 90's and of course it is Imogen Heap. Why would I quote Imogen Heap and then need someone to say "Hey you know you should listen to? Imogen Heap!" It is odd is all.

Edit: (I guess it needs to be said, because I forget that there are children around, anyone reading this who doesn't understand that this track Hide and Seek is Imogen Heap now understands that it is. I guess.)

I'll be buried in the cold cold ground before I read the actual article. That's just who I am. So, since I'm not going to read it I'm just going to extrapolate information based on the title.

He was paralyzed as a kid and everyone thought: "Swimming. That'll be his thing."?

Also he saved just under a thousand people from drowning. 1,000 people. 1,000. I don't know man, he sounds like the kind of guy who is a secret arsonist but gets a job with the fire department.

Seems like if this sort of thing is super important to the US they would just develop a nationwide government utility ISP 1 gig up 1 gig down and offer it at very little charge or free.

Then everyone signs up and ticks little box That states that they are able to spy to their hearts content in regards to the internet traffic.

Can we be honest for a second?

The amount of work is definitely not the same.

Unless this is some sort of wishy washy 'it's all about your attitude' type thing. In which case, yeah, ok, I guess.
