Thanks, that's very interesting, and a lot more detail than I'd have expected.

Apart from an option on the search engine I normally use, I don't use AI, and wouldn't even know how to start.

If there was an option to use ChatGPT or something similar without signing up to anything, that doesn't require a smartphone and doesn't harvest personal information, then I might be tempted to give it a try for the odd thing like my question here, but I've never really been interested enough to try and find out.
