I enjoyed the short article on AI, especially the comments at the bottom lol. I'm not the only one who would hate to have an AI assistant nattering in my ear all day long!  It seemed to mostly focus on using the new resources as an organizing tool.  I heard that people are testing AI to interpret an incoming signal and remove all or most of the QRM/QRN...that could be really beneficial.  Interesting times...
