I'm not sure why. Age? Tiredness? A shift in priorities? World weariness? Hubris?

I don't do that anymore. Someone asks me a question & I just answer it as honestly as I can. It's not as if I deliberately disregard the expectations or the context - I'm not rebelling or anything - it's just that it genuinely doesn't occur to me to think about them anymore.

Over the years I must have done hundreds of these icebreaker things & there used to be a time where I would find an appropriate balance between what I actually wanted to say & what they were expecting me to say.

After I shared my list, it was pointed out to me that - at a work training day - none of my items involved doing work, being at work or interacting with anyone at work. This is a fair point.

I hope the theory is correct as it means that AI is still a long way off 'creating' anything halfway decent.

It adds up. The wildly inconsistent characterisation. The central premise that makes absolutely no sense. The random plot points that don't come from the story. The shoehorning of popular movie/TV tropes that are way off tone.

These are all the kinds of mistakes that AI would make.
