Well, I’m back blogging.
As you can imagine, at the age of 74, the strain of blogging is beginning to take its toll. I need help. Professional help.
Indeed, quite a few people have said to me over the years, “John, you need professional help.”
So I’ve finally taken their advice.
I’m delighted to announce that this blog now has its very own team of professionals, courtesy of Artificial Intelligence.
Allow me to introduce them.
GUY — Technical Director
Guy is, strangely enough, my tech guy. He advises me on all technical matters relating to the blog.
His advice generally consists of things like, “Have you tried switching it off and switching it on again?”
So he clearly knows his stuff.
Nice guy, is Guy.
FRED THE FED — Security and Legal Affairs
Fred is responsible for security and advises on all matters legal and, when necessary, illegal.
He’s very enthusiastic about his work.
Actually, calling him a security adviser is perhaps overstating things. He’s basically a bouncer.
But he’s our bouncer, and we’re very proud of him.
JOLENE — Public Relations and Communications
Now, Jolene is a little different from the other two.
You see, Jolene isn’t actually Artificial Intelligence.
She’s a real woman from Nashville, Tennessee.
Unfortunately, we have to pretend she’s Artificial Intelligence because one evening my wife caught me talking to Jolene on the phone.
“Who are you talking to?” she asked.
“Artificial Intelligence,” I replied.
And that’s the story we’re sticking to.
So there you have it. My new professional team.
I believe Artificial Intelligence will improve the quality of this blog enormously. Indeed, I suspect most blogs are now produced by Artificial Intelligence.
The days of keyboard warriors sitting in their mothers’ basements, furiously battering away at keyboards, are long gone.
Take Slugger O’Toole, for example.
There’s a chap there called Brian O’Neill. Most readers probably believe Brian is a real person.
In fact, he’s entirely generated by Artificial Intelligence.
Don’t believe me?
Well, ask yourself one simple question.
Has anybody ever actually seen Brian O’Neill?
Exactly.
Anyway, whether this latest return to blogging lasts a week, a month, or forever remains to be seen.
But for now, I’m back.
And this time I’ve brought professional help.
God help us all.
