That was embarrassing! A 'newspaper' using AI... when reporters are losing jobs...

I recently finished "A Serial Killer's Daughter" by the daughter of the BTK killer. No gore, but a look inside how monsters hide in plain sight all around us.

I seriously do not understand the infatuation with AI, when I keep hearing stories like this. What is the value of something that spits out nonsense?

An excellent nonfiction book I read recently was Failure to Appear, by Emily L Quint Freeman. The true story of an antiwar activist who becomes a fugitive and lives under assumed identities for a couple of decades.

Jenn, it makes no sense to me either, but more and more there are so many things that I find baffling. Failure to Appear sounds like a good one. I think I'll have to add that to my to-read list.
