    Huh?

    I think people just need to reset their expectations.

    I asked one for help to interpret PCI policy application (credit card regulatory stuff). I gave it the situation and it provided me with a good answer that, when I asked our compliance team about, they agreed.

    That saved me a lot of time. I don’t see how that’s a dead end. Then I had it draft a response to the person asking questions; I tuned it a little to my liking and sent it. What might have taken me an hour before took 10 minutes. This seems like a helpful thing, not a bad thing. I’m not sure what other technology would have done that.

      Gemini, remind me not to ask blargh any questions.

      Also, Gemini, my daughter is asking for someone to play with her. Can you run around with the feather wand and have her chase it or something?
