  1. Because I follow the instructions and it works every single time????? These are 'simple' tasks that can require a lot of reading to find the solution.....AI circumvents all of that. "How do I give a voice command to take a photograph on an iPhone15 pro max?"
  2. If it does..... not much longer if it has to be paid for.
  3. As with any business it will all come down to the impact they have on the bottom line.
  4. True or not, I find it strange that anyone in a prominent public position would ever try to photoshop someone (or something) into or out of a photo. The world is looking at these things and ready to jump all over it.......seems such a risky/stupid thing to do.....and what is to be gained from it?????
  5. .....as ChatGPT.....hurry.
  6. Maybe they could initiate a countrywide organisation aimed at encouraging healthy diets and exercise daily? I was thinking of a catchy name along the lines of........ "FAT LOSERS".......??
  7. It is amazing for certain things........no more searching through manuals, instruction booklets, user guides......boom....there's the answer.
  8. It is going to be chaos, 90% MAGA, open carry, free testosterone by the pint, army fatigues.......boom.
  9. The paperwork to enter and exit each country on the way must be a nightmare.
  10. .....and one of them is 90% loudspeakers........absolutely deafening....and I'm nearly deaf.
  11. You can see the symbiosis, both steeped in organised crime, corruption and nepotism.
  12. Two to five year renewal at Chaiyaphum.....15 minutes......PLUS three hours in the car to get there and back.
  13. Seen a couple in the rice fields, but even scarier are the dozens of tracks of the Pythons going from lake to lake.....never seen one though.
  14. I had no idea until recently there are people who fervently deny that pathogens exist....or, if they do, they don't cause disease. I have an inkling RFKJr is one of them.....what the......?
  15. You better invest some serious time and effort into longevity techniques.
  16. Admittedly, your observation is, in many ways, astute. Nevertheless, one must consider the possibility that, stylistically speaking, many writers feel compelled — or perhaps, more charitably, inspired — to deploy discourse markers as though their careers depended on it. Moreover, it appears that, increasingly, such language has become a sort of lexical seasoning sprinkled liberally throughout otherwise serviceable prose. Consequently, the cumulative effect is, unsurprisingly, one of rhetorical fatigue. Furthermore, editors — for reasons that remain, arguably, mysterious — seem, from time to time, to regard such linguistic padding as a hallmark of sophistication. Accordingly, and perhaps even regrettably, articles end up sounding less like writing and more like a TED Talk delivered by someone who just discovered the transition section of a grammar book. Therefore, it is entirely plausible that these flourishes are being added post-submission, retrofitted into the prose like ornamental gutters on a perfectly fine house. Conversely, one could argue that these markers serve a useful function — namely, guiding the reader through complex arguments and, to an extent, simulating the flow of natural conversation. Nonetheless, in excess, they begin to feel less like helpful signs and more like someone yelling “NEXT POINT!” at the end of every sentence. In other words, the prose starts to sound as if it’s perpetually clearing its throat. Ultimately, then, whether this phenomenon is driven by editorial mandate, linguistic insecurity, or an unconscious addiction to adverbial glitter, the result remains the same: readers, regrettably, must wade through a textual thicket of “consequentlys,” “moreovers,” and “interestinglys” just to locate the actual point. Indeed, it’s exhausting.
