Sorry Chris, but I detected a distinctly synthetic quality to your voice.
I also noted at one point you asked me to repeat what I said -- indicative
of a speech recognition error. However, I was impressed that you appeared
to "understand" most of what I said without my pausing between each word as
required by PC-based speech recognition systems.
You must be running on a supercomputer.
No, just kidding. I can verify that Chris Hind is very much human and way
above anything yet achieved by AI.
Although I would like to believe there is an AI successfully participating
on this list, I have finally come to my senses. It's a hoax.
(Still, I'm a little insulted no one thought *I* was the AI.)
