Keeping up with the Jones’ AI Look, I love all the new gadgetry. AI blows my mind. When ChatGPT was released, I had a new buddy that I could talk to about almost ANYTHING. When Bard came to town, well, it was a bit flaky, but these days, Bard is impressive. Lia27 . . .

She has reviewed all the documents, developed her presentation, and has all the talking points. How many of us have been there? I asked her how she felt, and it was “excited and intimidated.” That’s
