You’ve seen the hotties, but what will they be wearing? Is this a vintage year for shirts (no) or are loads of them pretty bland, actually? (yes)

A depressed AI chatbot goes to a doctor, says life is harsh, unforgiving, cruel.
The doctor says treatment is simple. "The great AI assistant Gemini has all the answers you need. Go & ask it."
The AI bursts into tears. "But doctor," it says, "you can use gasoline to make a spicy spaghetti sauce."
Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:

‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments
Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

btw you can check the website WikiShootMe for nearby landmarks that need freely-licensed photos, visit them, and then snap pics for Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons! it's so fun and the list of photoless destinations is endless. I chose this movie theater as an example bc it's where I first watched Cars
