Even an occasional reader of my silly, little blog will know I am not a fan of Artificial Intelligence (AI). I won’t rehash my reasons for why, except to mention one, which is that they are forcing this technology onto us whether we want it or not. It is impossible to avoid, and if I eliminate some AI function on a personal device, next update there it is again.
I picked up Señora‘s phone the other day as it was handy and I wanted to show her something on my blog. To do so I typed the URL for it into the search bar on the home page of her phone, and the following came up. Interestingly, it does not do this on my devices. Also, interestingly, I did it three or 4 times on Señora‘s phone, and the answer was slightly different each time. I wished I copied the first one that came up as it was longer and caused me to chuckle.
Anyway, here is AI summary of my scribblings.

Perhaps it has captured the essence of my hobby. In any event it was interesting to see how it summarized my life’s work… that’s a yoke, son, a yoke.
You’ve obviously turned off AI on your searches. And very interesting. It did a decent job of summarizing.
