(4,546 posts)81. I won't regret using A.I. if it helps me make enough money to keep me alive,
and keep me from losing my home. Glad you don't have to worry about such things,
and can thus focus on all those "higher ideals"....
My interest in A.I. now is to help me design some T-shirts to sell,
almost all focused against Trump and the GQP---
shall I stand down on that? Let me know....
