Awfully reminiscent of prompting an LLM

A screenshot of Wayne Brady holding up three fingers with the text "Girl Scout Selling Cookies Who's Possessed by the Devil"

A screenshot of Colin Mochrie making a face with the text "Heroic Frog Leading 'The Great Escape' of All the Frogs from a French Restaurant"

A screenshot of Ryan Stiles with the text "Gradually Turning into a Parrot"

A screenshot of Greg Proops frowning with glasses halfway down his nose with the text "Judge Judy"

All of them, that's why it's Hell

I'm on 1Password these days after getting off LastPass a couple years ago. Having some issues the last two weeks with the autofill on Android Chrome, but desktop works great. Family share with my wife is good too.
