2. Strike 1. It's AI. Strike 2. It's Google

Strike 3. That is a bonkers screwup.

I posted it basically as ricidule/satire, and Google is best at ridiculing itself.

I see posts on Hacker News of people losing their accounts, and years of writing, for no reason at all, and no humans at all. Zero, Zilch, Nada, Niente to respond. One CEO of a startup had all his gmail accounts vanish.

I'll bet that the program cheats by recognizing people and just reading a dictionary when it can.

But the point is that people use this awful stuff.

Next time you get an ad for a dirigible repair tool .... it's AI no doubt.
