Subject: Re: A Bursting Bubble Would Be Great for A.I.
I spent an entire day being "assisted" by ChatGPT and Perplexity to program a new remote control (my Harmony died) finally ending up with bizarre and mediocre results (a used Harmony is on its way from EBay). It then took me about ten minutes to configure a new network router.

I used to half-joke that five years of engineering school taught me where to smack my TV to get it to work as well as how to twist a piece of aluminum foil on its rabbit ears to improve reception. I should have hired a ten-year-old to program my remote control.
