This is the best proof ever that Google AI search is terrible. I kept searching which one is the Spice Girl who pointed. The AI overview said Emma Bunton, then Geri … but not once did it say Posh Spice! You know!? The one who points! 🤣

I really need to have a builder’s tape measure in the study at all times … as a procrastination aid #AcademicLife

All they really need to say to me to sell MS Teams to me over Zoom is that Teams blocks out Howard’s interventions … Zoom does not 🤣 #AcademicsWithDogs #DogsofBlueSky
