Does your lovely man have some pet frets? Mine does, bless him.
I have pet peeves, he has pet frets.
Top of mind, for him is AI.
Of all things.
Darling, he advised me, everything I read stresses that we need to be AI ready.
Are you AI ready he enquires of me.
I am not, I admit.
What is AI, he asks, I don’t feel I am in the least competent in it.
This is probably true as he refers to it, for starters, as A1.
You are retired, I reminded him, you don’t need to be AI competent, stop worrying about it.
Perhaps we should buy this book, he continued, or enroll on this six month course for a mere USD 2,000. It sounds critical.
That’s a hard no from me.
So, finally, I have come up with a cunning plan.
When you are competent with the TV remote, I tell him, I’ll teach you AI.
Every time he brings it up, we are going to have a TV Remote test. And then I’ll ask him to Google something.
Churchill boys were taught the art of acting dumb in order to get sympathy and or assistance… so its not A1 then??..
So that’s it then!
