Mr Franklin might not be so happy about ChatGPT when people start using it to write articles for Unherd.
Also I’m not so sure a dull prime minister is such a bad thing. Dull but competent would be ok for me.

Totally agree – a dull year of stable politics would perfectly welcome.

As long as there is at least a vague sense of purpose.

Record high UK taxation including higher business taxes doesn’t sound like competence to me.

If you think we should welcome Robot overlords, try reading Harlan Ellison’s ‘I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream’.

And then there’s Ray Bradbury’s chilling ‘The Pedestrian’.

“…the worst fears of epidemiologists about Omicron were not realised.” Who can forget that these epidemiologists were exactly the people that many of us were not listening to. We were listening to the epidemiologists who were being banned and deplatformed and they are the ones who have been proved correct.
Also, the fact that these epidemiologists decided to ignore the evidence and advice of South Africa – who uncovered Omicron and said it was far less lethal – speaks volumes.
