Artificial intelligence is here, like it or not.  You may think that we won't be affected in our field, but we most definitely will!  While it may take a little attitude adjustment, AI will help us be more productive and efficient.  Come on, join the conversation!

5, 38 - Jerky Bits! - Kevin is STILL on a trip! 15.06.2023
