Strange Brew by John Deering for April 01, 2023

. . . and everyone listens to Devo all the time!

The Grammar Police and Robocop have a child.

Miss Grammar has an Avatar, and IS WATCHING.

In the future, guys named Otto are correct!

What is that thing that looks like a flying beehive supposed to be?

2053? There are plenty of self-aware people who will gladly correct you now.

Flow My Tears, the Grammar Policeman Said.

No matter what I type, my iPad types out something different. I have to self-correct..what a PITA!

I’ve recently played with ChatGPT – it’s scary.

I told it, “I am an Excel guru. Give me a 30-seond elevator speech.” It came back with.

“I’m an Excel guru. I specialize in helping businesses and individuals maximize their productivity and efficiency through advanced Excel techniques.

Whether you’re a small business owner or a corporate executive, I can help you unlock the power of Excel to achieve your goals. Let’s connect and explore how I can help you take your Excel skills to the next level.”

The language is a bit stilted and has too many buzz words to suit my tastes, but you have to admit, this is darned good given the little information fed to the bot.

So will it be able to know the difference between ‘were’ and ‘We’re’ by then?

Tech whipped. Whip It Good. Life imitating art.

If you make a typo,You must fix-it. Fix-it good

AI-eee?

If you are using chatGPT, then yes, it has become self aware. BE AFRAID..be VERY afraid!

No! Not Devo! AAArrrggghh!

Thanks John, hysterically funny and a great prognostication…

Autocorrect, is often Autowrong. Even with good ol’ spellcheck, it often makes suggestions for words that aren’t even close to what you typed. then there are the words that aren’t even in spellcheck…

It’s good to have a physical dictionary on hand. ;)

This is a scene from a new sci-fi flick, produced by Aaron Spelling Productions starring Kelsey Grammer.

There is obviously a straight line of evolution from the nun’s rap on the wrist, spellcheck, autocomplete, autocorrect to AI world domination for orthographic tyranny. Obviously. /s

Someone should write a song about these word crimes.
