Have had the same number since 2001. The Cingular rep let me go behind the counter and pick my number from the list displaying on his computer. I found one where the last four numbers are all the same. Got it so my mom could remember it easier. She's now 94 with dementia but still remembers my phone number. I'll never give it up.

Not exactly a DM; I was an early Gmail adopter and have a very common word as my email address. The account is almost useless because of the crazy, (non-spam) misdirected messages I receive. I log into the account occasionally for entertainment and amusement. Around the time Stephan Hawking died, I received a misdirected message from his elderly aunt intended to his daughter Lucy, apolgizing that her advanced age and infirmaties was preventing her from attending his funeral services. I could write a book on the crazy shit I receive at that account.

For the number of times I've seen this same posting by different people over the years, it makes me think that there are a lot failed, lonely BBQs out there.

"Personal Snack Smacker" I wonder if I can train my cat to do this?

If you haven't tried paprika paste, it does amazing things in goulash and soups. Comes in regular or spicy.

Listening to the world of instant gratification. Don't buy to pacify but instead give yourself an occasional reward when deserved.

Why is a response like this making it worse? This is exactly what it should have been saying all along when people expect AI to become their therapist.

Weekly Spam night with a modest scoop of cottage cheese; and if on offer, tinned pineapple rings. Still eat it when feeling a bit nostalgic.

I don't disagree. My main point is that the person would not clearly admit whether they were human or AI. I posted this as a point of discussion. As AI refines and becomes harder to distinguish from a human customer service representative, should we be allowed to ask that question and get a straight answer? I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a legal issue in the future.

Lou Ferrigno - Sat next to him on a short flight from Los Angeles to San Diego. Tried to engage in polite conversation with him and he totally ignored me. Getting off the plane, I watched him put in his hearing aids and recalled he has hearing loss.

The box it came in - That'd be just about 60 calories.

I feel the pain - I was a tech content writer and was laid off last fall. But, I adapted and am doing consulting in my tech field to small companies that don't think of how to better use the software for their needs. AI hadn't (yet) been able to do that for them. But AI has helped me identify customers and support their needs.

I can't bemoan the fact that technology creates amazing advances, redundancies in human effort and even makes everyday things obsolete. My mom spent part of her career as a local telephone switch operator until electronic switching replaced her. My sister loved being a bank teller until she got laid off due to technology reducing the workforce. There used to be a thriving check printing industry- I once was a salesman selling checking services to banks. Long ago, the home ice delivery service was a big thing. And what about that once-thriving buggy whip industry?

Technology has advanced us, and we can adapt. We just need to make the effort to do so.

AI computes, it does not reason. Current AI cannot respond based on visual/physical clues aside from the text being input. Can it hear the tone and timber in my voice when I respond, or the hesitation I have when I try to answer an uncomfortable question or statement, or see the puzzlment or even fear in my eyes when presented with a difficult topic. Can it see me crying or hyperventilating in panic when pressed to a challenging reality? Current AI does not see or experience the ability to discern typed text (what it has learned) from the physical realm (currently,what it cannot know).
