Humans won't be replaced because #AI starts giving accurate answers ALL the time.

Humans will be replaced when AI learns to ask questions.

#Humanity's biggest achievement isn't the ability to find answers. Humanity's biggest achievement is the ability to ask the right questions.

What is this nonsense I'm hearing about #Alphabet stock tanking because investors think AI-generated responses will kill their #Ads business?

What?

AI-generated ad summaries will 10x $GOOG's revenue from Ads!

Because Ads can (and will) now be indistinguishable from #AI responses, mark my words.

Ladies and gentlemen, a new era of misinformation and disinformation is upon us.

Brace yourselves.

(And it'll be a mighty expensive affair to fly all the way down to the US just to experience "renting a video from Blockbuster," y'know? :D)

No, I adapted that part as "rented a VHS tape from a video rental".

My one point was the vinyl record. I've never really heard a vinyl record being played in an old-style player. I've seen both separately - the player and the vinyl record - but not together in action. ;)

Hello fellow old-timer... 👴🤝👴

The image shows a nostalgic technology quiz titled: "Give yourself 1 point for each thing you've NEVER done: 1. Used a rotary phone 2. Used a floppy disc 3. Used a typewriter 4. Taken photos with a film camera 5. Listened to music on a CD 6. Listened to a cassette tape 7. Listened to a vinyl record 8. Listened to music on a Walkman 9. Listened to music on a boombox outside 10. Watched a video from a VHS tape 11. Sent or received a fax 12. Recorded music from radio to cassette 13. Rented a video from Blockbuster 14. Accessed the internet by dial-up 15. Used a phone book 16. Sent a postcard 17. Used a paper map to get somewhere 18. Owned a dictionary 19. Owned an encyclopedia 20. Paid with a paper cheque/check How many points do you get?"

I scored one point.

ONE.

I've used Sonic IDs as an excellent example of how to construct (incredibly satisfying) short audio vignettes when I taught undergrad students at a local college. I frequently point students to blogs on the website and play clips from Rob's SoundSchool episodes...

Prayer for Uninteresting Times   Send me a slow news day, a quiet, subdued day, in which nothing much happens of note, save for the passing of time, the consumption of wine, and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote. Grant me a no news day, a spare-me-your-views day, in which nothing much happens at all, except a few hours together some regional weather, a day we can barely recall. Brian Bilston

Here’s a poem called ‘Prayer for Uninteresting Times’.

Where's the poem about April Fools, Brian? >_<

You should know by now that only your poems can save us from these uninteresting times, Brian.

Save us, Brian.

SAVE. OUR. SOULS.

Remember when websites used to do elaborate April Fools' pranks? Why doesn't that happen anymore?

Have we become so polarised that we have entirely stripped ourselves of our sense of humour?

Well, I hope you get there quickly then... 🤞

Alternately, please consider my request for a limited-edition face-reveal by performing at a venue near me in India? 😉

My brain keeps telling me the poem doesn't end where I *think* it ends...

And that the rest of it is (probably) just really well-camouflaged.
