Seriously. That would have the total opposite effect on me as I would just want to get all the 'embarrassing' bags in the series.

I had never before considered the use of machine learning / AI to supplement writing in this way. As I’m here trying to dive right in to write technical documentation in a wholly new industry (and a company who does things A Very Particular Way), the idea of a tool that could provide common tidbits for me (‘oh what was that business rule we defined.....’) with simple prompting is an excellent idea.
I really hope to see ML get to this point. I imagine it’d be handy for developers as well (‘oh right, that’s the calculation I defined earlier!’).
I guess it’s sort of ‘the Clippy we always wanted but never actually got.’

I kind of want to buy a bunch of Harlequin novels cheap, now, and rewrite the smut to be family friendly.
