I know! Dang it, I have been so busy with my first priorities of family and work. Thank you, Moksha. You are great.
Indeed! I found the whole thing surprising and fascinating!

One could just as easily set up an agent to read every new Sic et Non post and formulate a relevant comment which is tuned to various degrees of agreement/disagreement, sarcasm, humor, intelligence, and even additive in terms of offering corrections or useful historical analogies to improve the post. What a time to be alive!
The hullabaloo over A.I. is wearing. Being a professor in the age of A.I., especially if you are not really into "tech," can be exhausting. All of the academic dishonesty that springs from people using A.I. to do their writing for them.

This may not be any more constructive than the Ghost Riders in the Sky parody, but I think there's a chance that chatbots will turn out to be as big a deal as the advents of writing and printing. Even though they're still far from real artificial intelligence, they may well change what it means to be an educated person.
