Oh, I get it! Let me clarify my comment - not grabbed my attention as in possible acquisition, but grabbed my attention as in “isn’t that fun & novel.”

If only it was a one-off :thumbdown: Why can't the younger generation use spell-checkers when creating text? Presumably AI wouldn't make such a silly error.

^^^ The problem, sadly, is that the verb “to google” is replacing the verb “to learn” (or even “to research”) in our fine institutions.

Artificial Intelligence is a poor substitute for the real thing; it has no capacity for teaching young people to acquire investigative skillsets, or develop intellectual curiosity and discrimination.

Rant over.

@jkbarnes I’ll PM rather than discussing it here, as it has nothing to do with the new launch.
