Programmed by an English major. What could possibly go wrong?

The 2001 is going to get some exercise tomorrow night. I usually take the Flamingo for this band's show. Time to switch it up. New singer, different bass.

I have to speed switch between the Thunderbird and doghouse on occasion because of the way the setlist is set up. It's all about getting the singer properly warmed up and then preserving her voice for three hours. She's never done a show longer than a half hour before. She has a fantastic voice, though, and she's got a great stage presence. She just hasn't been stretched out yet. It will be fun.

They sound like a whole lot of fun. That would be a great show. It's kind of a tough commute, so I'll have to see about being on the east coast next time.

Yeah. Once my eyes are fixed (second of four contemplated procedures set for next Friday), I’ll start using my status as the parent of an airline employee and be able to fly to those gigs at little cost. I really need to see Ken in New York and Roger in Providence. And our buddy Brian in Philly. And hopefully @bobyoung53 when I’m in Boston (unless he’s back in Peru).

Funny you say that, when at GE we did a case study highlighting Predix, a predictive s/w platform using AI developed by GE Digital (8 years ago) and the success story was actually about how Predix identified 2% fuel savings for Australian carried Quantas if they turned off one the motors on their big twin engine wide bodies when taxiing back to the terminal after landing.......EUREKA!... not....:rollno:

Clearly the savings is to alternate each engine off/on while in flight.

To use much ai you almost need to know something of the correct answer first given some of the things they posit. I had one score a church assessment I did for a group and it didn't do the simple math correctly. I looked at it and thought that can't be right. Asked again, same answer. Finally told it that it was wrong, it was still sure it was. I pointed out how and where and it agreed. Obviously by then I could have done it myself.... How does a super computer not know how to do simple math? If I can do it, a computer surly can.

It's humorous at times. Might ask about Roto 66s and come back with a tonal profile that they are scooped, of some other clearly false statement.

AI is notorious for not knowing basic math.
