When I have to take weeks out of my life to train that super smart AI that I really meant to type "their", instead of "there" or "they're" well then it's not so "intelligent", now is it? 😁

I picture "autocorrupt" as an obnoxious "Karen," with the linguistic skills of a barely competent sixth grader, whipping out her red pen to mark your text.

"Karen, I meant to type "serjeant." 🤦‍♂️

"serjeant" a new if somewhat obscure word for my vocabulary, thank you.

I turn 60 this year, and tech has been a huge part of my life, usually requiring me to repair or maintain it.

When I taught elementary school, those poor kids were even more immersed and reliant on it than I am. So much so that I would make them practice looking things up in books. Just in case.

"But the computer is over there."

"It's broken. They break so easily. Let me tell you about the time I had to fix a computer over the phone."

Use them but have an analog back up was my motto. 👍

That doesn't require electricity to operate.... (AC or DC)

Sure we do! Just not with all the electronics "for my convenience".

This was funny. Especially the part about the hearing aid. Also I noticed when I type something in Google its choices when I'm halfway are bizarre. I know I've never asked about any of these things. This was very funny. I have said this before. It's nice to read on Mon. morning.
