I like them all, too, but some more than others. Speed skating is probably my favorite.

Glad you saw them. I like ice dancing much more than figure skating. So much more artistic creativity and precision synchronized dance moves.

Oh, no! ๐ค โท๏ธ But please, no spoilers! I'm not watching the events live because of the time difference. Meanwhile, you should watch yesterday's ice-dancing couples, specifically the awesome & beautiful performance by the American couple Madison Chock & Evan Bates. Stunning!

I'm impressed by the accuracy and realistic rendering AI is capable of, but as a boomer, I find it a bit scary that I can't distinguish between an actual photo and an artificially rendered one. How can we be confident that we'll be able to tell what's true and what's false?
