Look.

If you’ve been following my series of posts on AI and machine learning, you’ll recall I’ve referenced Adam Conover and his vitriol against AI before.

I missed the chance to post about this at the beginning of summer grilling season, so I’m coming in under the wire.. and folks are still going to fit in a bit more grilling, right?
