It's been over 20 years and and I guess I can only talk about this now for some reason.
My dad had terminal kidney cancer and wanted to die at home so hospice helped us set him up in his and my mom's bedroom. They'd been married over 30 years and almost everything that man did in…Â

AI is method of producing/disseminating speech, not content, which puts it in a different category re: speech.
