Hi Graham. First your tongue has only 4 different taste buds sweet, sour, salt and bitter, every thing else we taste is with our nose (disgusting as that may sound. That's one of the reasons we lose our appetites when we have a stuffy nose.
Second, I did read the Communist Manifesto in my late teens or early twenties. That's one of the reasons I get so angry with my fellow Americans who shudder in fear of Communism but not of fascist Trump. There is not, and never has been a communist Country on Planet Earth, regardless of what they call themselves. They are authoritarian dictatorships. They do "nationalize" all industry to begin with but soon put the actual running of those businesses and industries into the hands of a few well paying oligarchs (paying the strongman that is.
What a wise person you are, Fay, I never cease to be amazed by the breadth of your acquis. The more we disagree on some things, like God, the more we agree on some things, like just loving one another. Thank you again for your contribution to the subject.
Thank you for those very kind words Graham. And I do so look forward to your posts. I wish we had met in person, I know we would have been fast friends.
AI is proving interesting. I said previously that AI will open up boundless possibilities - for which absolutely no one will be held accountable. Well, that was intended as a reference to the people who operate the AI, but not for those who use its services.
A sexual fantasy website set up an AI bot to chat to its members about what they would love to do in bed. It assured them that everything was private and confidential and away they went with their wild, wicked and highly illegal imaginations. The thing is, there’s nothing illegal with imagination. Isn’t that funny, because what will get you into very hot water with God doesn’t get you into any hot water with Justice. But it can get you a sullied reputation, which only money can redeem.
Well, guess what? The site’s security was like a padlock on Fort Knox, so Russian extortionists cracked the padlock open and will soon be holding everyone to ransom.
AI lets you speak to a robot that is listening very carefully, links everything you say to your IP and email and name and telephone number, and then demands money to keep it all quiet. It is the classic capitalist model, I’m glad to say: money for old rope. And lots of it.
No, I didn’t know you’d attended Sorbonne. You’re right, we have much to talk about. Damn!
I know this is really beside your point, but: if AI cannot write the word ‘peanut’ correctly (and I suppose you gave it the correct spelling as an input for the picture) then what is the hype about AI in the first place?

What an informed response! I love it!

Mio caro Roberto, I think that is EXACTLY the point: AI cannot write the word peanut. Quod erat demonstrandum.
Now go read the damn manifesto.
Great. Then I simply didn’t get something. Wouldn’t be the first time. Can you believe I actually studied the damn manifesto at the Sorbonne?
Sacré bleu!
