I just finished reading Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson and warmly recommend it for its thoughtful take on contemporary life. Winterson is both insightful and downright funny about AI, transpeople, Mary Shelley, sexbots, and so much more and, in the process, manages to “update” Shelley’s immortal tale most impressively. And speaking of AI there was an interesting article in the Guardian today by a fellow who teaches people how to use it. He even offers an online course of instruction for those of you who must use it.

As for me I think I’ll stick to my own human intelligence and keep laughing at the lies as long as I can.
