On the brighter side of life: if you ever find yourself in Zürich (Switzerland) treat yourself to an excellent dinner at the world's oldest vegetarian restaurant Hiltl. (hiltl.ch).
The food, the ambiance and the service are excellent.

Most users of ChatGPT are drooling over what AI has to offer. 
No one actually seems to care that they were going to be f*cked big time one day by the opportunistic AI media.  
 
We seen it happen before - Google, Meta.
I'm getting so tired of the stupidity of it all. Does no one care?
