I honestly don't know much about AI except for the robot movies we all love to watch. Never have I attempted to use one to clean my floor or to write my books. I do find the reels where AI bots attend football games and concerts a bit disturbing. In fact, they totally creep me out. It's been debated whether or not someone is just wearing a costume and pretending to be an actual robot or if it really is the rise of the machines. I'd like to slap them just to see what happens. No, just me? Anyway, moving right along.
I do have a beef with an automated floor cleaning bot at Sam's Club. That thing terrifies me, and at the same time, annoys me. On two different visits, the floor-cleaning-bot with no one at the helm picks me out of a crowd and follows me around. I parked my cart last time and decided to stand my ground. I had some choice words to say to the stupid floor cleaner who kept bumping into my cart. This time the driver's seat wasn't empty. A pumpkin head on top of a skeleton sat steering the huge machine right at me.
Yeah, I'm not real big on this whole AI thing. But I do love October! It's my favorite time of the year. Happy writing, happy hunting, and happy fending off the bots.
