 We're in the "wild frontier" portion of AI. Try it out with
 everything, see where it sticks. AI alarm clocks. AI web search. AI
 assistants for Excel and Word.

 Back in the 50s, the fully electric kitchen was a thing. Manufacturers
 electrified everything, because they could, and because it was part of
 The Future.

 When's the last time you saw an electric can opener? They didn't stick,
 and kitchen appliances are appropriately electric.

I think part of that is an economy that values quantity over quality of
posts. I see that all the time with people who post boilerplate answers
in support forums, I'm sure it counts to their total web post count, but
helps the support issue little.

Yes, I've got a minor problem with Windows. No, I haven't created a new
profile or reinstalled Windows.
