That writer was totes right about volleyball; it can be a little tricky to play without a volleyball. Same with baseball (unless you are Robin Ventura).

Watching this video is actually a good test. Sometimes Matt Walsh says interesting stuff, sometimes it is ideologically-driven nonsense.

The larger point, though, that AI is lying to us and making us dumber (or at least not challenging us cognitively), is scary.

A little different issue--it talks more about the role of producing art--but it reminds me a little of "Virtuoso," one of the short stories in this book:

There is ai police that monitor what AI is doing. You can get bing chat to give you sexual answers but then it deletes the response a few seconds later and says sorry I can't talk about that.
