“we live in an AI age”

My 1st 40 years on this earth were before the digital age.....and personally speaking, I am unbelievably greatful for that.

A simpler, cleaner and WAY more sane world......for anybody that didn’t experience it, they missed a wonderful time.

Why not? Whoopi has apparently bought into “faulty weight-loss supplements.”

“AI scam using her image”

Is that what made me throw up when I opened it?
