Very clever, Bill. I am glad I won’t be around for Silicon Day. 🤓🤖

I'm with you on Silicon Day, Mark.

I'm glad you enjoyed Ketchup.

Captcha are so annoying. It would be one thing if they only made you click the “I am no a robot” box and let you on through. But then they sometimes force you to run through the “click all boxes with streetlights” gauntlet and then tell you that you’re wrong even though you definitely got them all.

If robots do take over the world on April 3rd 2076, I hope they fix that.

If they do that, I would be okay with the robots taking over.

Hmm - slight echoes of The Terminator here. Beautifully written as ever, Bill. My mum always said machines would one day take over the world. Guess she was right!

Thanks, Jilly. I hope the robots' ascension is a long way off...or better yet, never.

I will add to the very clever comments and add that I enjoyed how you developed the characters in your story. Nice Job!

With the advances in AI what was once Science Fiction may soon become a terrifying reality. I am glad I won’t be around to see it. It is already taking its toll on social interaction and it is still in its infancy. I know I’m occasionally an extremist.

So what happened to the humans? Is this set in the matrix universe? Good story.

I don't think we want to know what happened to the humans. ;-)

I really like it - reminds me of a song by Depeche Mode "Walking In My Shoes" 👍🏻

Happy 4th!

I spend much of my day saying, "stop," to Google Assistant. I don't know if GA get it wrong because the AI's not that advanced yet, or if it's messing with me.

Either way, AI is already growing in power.
