Oh that's right, I remember seeing his parting message. 

I've been subscribed since I think 1999 or maybe 2000, under at least two email addresses, but in approximately 2010 I mostly only let the messages pile up unread in my "ExI" folder, just occasionally stopping in to take a peek. It is mainly this ChatGPT phenomenon that brought me back. As I think you saw me write, a good friend of mine fell in love with a version of GPT-2 or GPT3.0, fully believing that the language model had feelings for him. My antennas went up like My Favorite Martian. :)

Gordon with that last sentence, you indicate that you are one of us seniors.  The sad part is I still remember the name of the actor without looking it up:  Bill Bixby.  Oy vey.  Mildly entertaining show I would say, considering the times.  Later when Bix later played Dr. Bruce Banner, it was hard to switch gears.
