AI is all very well but, and it's a big but.
Where or when, will it arrive at a stage when ingenuity and innovation become part of its repertoire. At present it is just a very good search engine poking its nose into anything that has been posted on the internet as well as specification information from ads.

I’ve asked it everything from “Why is my shower mixer acting like a grumpy teenager?” to “Which Ryobi tool won’t chew through my wallet?” to “Why is this pool cloudy enough to hide a small submarine?” It even helped me set up Kindle on my Windows 11 laptop after I bought a book and promptly forgot where it went. Copilot never rolls its eyes, never sighs, and never says “Bruce, we’ve been over this.” It just…
