A sick family member told me something along the lines of, "I know how to work with AI to get the answer." I interpret that to mean he asks it questions until it tells him what he wants to hear.
Works great. I also got a huge one for my TV. Once I learned how to press the bubbles out I was good. The trick is to use a larger bubble to catch the smaller ones and press them out the sides.

What I remember that is notable about Scott Adams is way back he had The Dilbert Blog and it was pioneering in it's early adoption of the internet. Adams wrote his takes and theories back then, too.

But later something happened with the feedback loop of social media, because he eventually started to court controversy. I do think that the internet sucked him in.
If the brain wasn't hidden, injuries would be seen with our eyes the way cuts and bruises are seen, and nobody would play rugby or other impact sports ever again.
