@MikeElgan Subject matter specific Bots using chatGPT are going to become commonplace. Here is one Australian based service offering a chat bot subscription for school subjects. Students can engage an AI tutor trained to be a topic expert. https://www.atarbot.com/

@MikeElgan Few know that the show is adapted from a Japanese manga series of the same name. I found it was available to download on Kindle for no extra charges if you have the prime subscription.

@MikeElgan You forgot to add. Why, Japan? Why?

@MikeElgan It's a minor cultural infraction when compared with China who went ahead and built an entire replica of Paris. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianducheng

@MikeElgan This needs a local franchise of "The Office"

@MikeElgan One episode in and getting Queens Gambit meets Lara Croft vibes. I'm hooked though so thanks for the recommendation.
