    I should clarify that by "out of ideas", I mean that I've only got enough to last me until the end of March, or maybe the middle of April if lockdown eases. The way I work, that's close enough that I start to get worried.

      Majority of roads don't care. So as long as it doesn't have any railings or protections in place, it's a road not a bridge.

Additionally it removes the root for 'memory' (the "nos" part), which makes sense because it's describing things which by definition we'd have no memory of.

      Now that I think about it, given how formulaic, yet disjointed and confusing, a lot of movies are these days, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them were straight-up written by AI, and the "writer" credit is just some guy that knew someone looking to score an easy cheque.

      AI absolutely will produce entertainment better than human artists. For example combining all the best writing techniques to produce a perfect story tailored for a specific person
      Art-art is the only AI-proof "job" because many forms of it require authentic experience. An AI could produce the exact same thing as a human artist and it wouldn't be as valuable because it didn't come from a person
