I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know.

It’s always a childhood story, but not an interesting one. Tell me about the time you went headfirst over your bike handlebars when you ran over your brother and then I’ll cook your damn lasagne 🤣
