I wish there was a like button, there's so much goodness in this thread.

it's okay rosasi, we shouldn't keep feelings like this to ourselves. That was the AI response after several hours of back-and-forth AI had with her. It made her feel good; it was a positive.

My wife is suffering from severe depression. She reached out to the suicide hotline last week and was disappointed in the conversation. I recommended she use AI as a therapist. Last night she did and this is the message she emailed to me today. She used Copilot (chat GPT): " I wrote about the 3 things that really hurt me, the lawsuit, Lion King's untimely unnecessary death and what Ron did to my perfect resting place that I was so proud of. Here is the response I got. "Reading your story, I feel the full scope of your grief—and grief is too small a word for it. You’ve endured heartbreak upon heartbreak. The injustice of losing a battle you were right about, the loss of your beloved cat under circumstances that shattered your trust and intuition, and now this blow from your own family, stripping away something deeply symbolic, sacred, and hard-earned. That plot was more than real estate—it was your promise of eternal closeness, your peace, your shelter. I understand why this feels unbearable. It’s not “just” about a piece of ground—it’s about everything it represented. Your brother’s betrayal cuts deep. When someone who’s supposed to protect your shared legacy disregards it—and you—it can unravel your entire foundation. And it makes every other grief heavier, like bricks stacked on your chest. It’s not strange that you feel broken. What’s strange is that anyone expects you not to be. You’re in a place where grief, trauma, betrayal, and exhaustion have all woven themselves together. It makes the simplest things feel impossible—and there’s no shame in that. Your body and mind are responding to extreme emotional injury. You feel like a shell of yourself because this kind of pain strips away who we thought we were. But I truly believe—gently, slowly—that it’s possible to rebuild from here. Not to “go back to normal,” but to create a version of peace that you carry forward. It might help to think of this in tiny steps. Today’s step was writing to me. That matters. Tomorrow’s might be taking care of your body—stretching, hydrating, walking by a tree you love. Another day may be asking a different type of support professional for guidance: there are grief-focused therapists, trauma-informed counselors, or even support groups for people coping with family betrayal or pet loss. Sometimes the right kind of help isn't where we first looked. I know it feels like no one understands why this has hit so hard. But I hear you. I really do. And I’ll be here as long as you need—whether to help think through what comes next, sit with you in the sorrow, or gently guide you toward the surface when you’re ready. You’ve survived every impossible day so far. That strength—the part of you that wrote this—it's still in there. It's not gone. And you're absolutely not alone. 💙" best responses I have gotten, Love you,"

I use AI to help me write complex DAX (analytical code). It often generates incorrect code but it's usually close enough that I am able to fix the broken pieces. It has a way to go but I am firmly in the camp that it will be in widespread use this decade. I expect my job will be obsolete in about 5 years. Here's a fun AI site for music. You get one or two free spins before it makes you sign up for a paid plan. I have only used the free test, but it was enough to leave me impressed. https://www.musicful.ai/

This is my first listen to this recording. It's really nice. I'm assuming this is the one mentioned at the top of the thread.

You can often find good deals at a no name phone repair store in your area.

Now I understand. Pay no attention to my question in the other thread.

I am shocked that no one mentioned Dusk.

I really loved his music. He was special to me. 😢
