When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

I voted this morning and was #11.
I'm very happy that there's early and absentee voting, but still love to do it in person.
