Yes, and this all apart from the big questions of WHAT IS TRUTH? WHAT IS TRUE?

I use AIs as software coding partner. I am constantly astonished at how good it understands my questions, even without my expressing them particularly thoroughly or accurately. Also astonished by the quality of its answers, even on obscure topics. Did it digest all technical manuals in existence? It seems like it sometimes. At the same time, it does not astonish me at all when it gets something wrong. I check its work by reviewing and testing the code fragments it gives me. When it doesn't solve the problem, we debug it together. Just like working with a human partner. It is a very smart, very knowledgeable (and incredibly patient and polite) programing partner, but it is not perfect. As with humans, perfection is the goal, but we approach it asymptotically, never actually achieving it.

Nice to have a place where my writing can be ignored by millions
