Thanks, buddy
The website I’m building looks like ass on mobile phone, so I asked ChatGPT to help me fix it. Several tweaks later, the whole thing looks like ass on desktop.
Yes, that’s right, says ChatGPT, but it works better on phones.
Dear Weasel: Backup before every tweak.
I swear the version of this cartoon I remember in my head, both characters were cartoons, but Leo couldn’t find one. That’s right – I have a whole clique of robot friends.

Hm…I think I may have fixed those stupid security warnings. Callooh! Callay!
ChatGPT reckons it can help me straighten out what ails this blog. It doesn’t sound like the process is going to be fun, though.

Use templates based on Bootstrap framework, it’s designed so it looks good on mobile and desktop.

It seems to work – I don’t get “you’re insecure so you have to write everything out” anymore

Which of these robots can I feed several years worth of photos, with metadata, to get it to spit out a fancy raise-getting slideshow of a project’s progress over time? I have access to fully licensed versions of all the popular AI kids.

Don’t ask me, Grom – ask an AI.

I love questions like:
Can I drink gasoline or can I cut my hand off with a chop saw, can I drive on the wrong side of the highway.
The answer is yes, you CAN do those things, you special person you.
Life has, since we could first ask and answer questions, been filled with things you CAN do.
There’ have always been plenty of situations where you can become a tale of warning for others.

Yeah but trouble is…AI is full of shit, from what I can tell. Oh well, I’ll go talk to robots then.

If you ask it, it will tell you how it works. Claude told me that AI isn’t good researching history when it finds a blank. It will fill it with something plausible. That’s what most hallucination is.
Make it show its sources, then check the sources. Which is fine until the sources are AI, too.
