She Likes Vehicles

My spouse: “Hey sweetie, you get to dress up as your favorite Christmas character for school tomorrow. What do you want to go as?”

My 8yo (confused): “Christmas character?”

Me: “Yeah, like Santa or the Grinch.”

Spouse: “Or you could dress like one of the characters from The Polar Express.”

8yo (thinking): “…I want to be the train.”

Riddle Me This, Too

Am I being paranoid, or has AI actually made autocorrect worse?

If we’re going to start stuffing LLMs into every crack and crevice of our lives like cream into cheap profiteroles, could we at least include a way to give it feedback? Because I would dearly like to have some way of explaining to my phone that no, I did not and will never wish to discuss “the copy of her hair,” and starting a sentence with “I’m fact, …” makes me both look and feel like a maniac.

It’s the same handwriting! Who is this maniac??
