Is there a way to know if an article, such as this one, was written by you or AI?

Artificial Intelligence is an oxymoron.

Chat GPT has its own style, and it's a yawn. Bret has his own style, and it's the prose equivalent of all our favorite cats! AI can't duplicate that because it reduces its expression to the lowest common denominator. It actually removes the uniqueness that makes things fun to read. And I agree, it's an oxymoron 😉

Thanx for the explanation. I have no experience, that I'm aware of, with Chat GPT. Analogists are out of the loop. Or should that be loup? Woof, woof.

Occaisionally DuckDuckGo and rarely Google. I'm a very basic computer user. I mostly read books.

We've come a long way since the 70s when we used to play Trane LPs on 45 and dig his sound on alto....

In '65 in West Hartford, our local pizza joint, Dino's, had some Coltrane on the jukebox, two sides of a 45, Ascension. Every time we went there we played it, repeatedly. The owner would unplug the jukebox.

Did you ever play Trane 33 rpm’s on 45? It’s wild!

Sort of avant garde Alvin and the Chipmunks?
