Time for a story.
It was a few years ago, before the 354 railway line was renovated on the #Poznań — #Piła section (or maybe during the renovation?). The time needed for a train to pass that distance was long enough that — given a good change — you could instead take a train to Krzyż, and change to Poznań there (using lines 203 351), and I've loved using that option when it meant I ended up being home at roughly the same time.
That day I was going to Poznań from someplace behind Piła, using Kołobrzeg — Poznań train. I didn't change to Krzyż, because it would mean being late for my change in Poznań, and getting home a bit later. Just a few minutes after leaving Piła, the train conductor came and announced that a "rail cracked" in Budzyń, and we will have to change into buses. I answered in a disheartened voice: "Why didn't you tell us before Piła? I would have changed into the Krzyż-bound train!"
So we've reached Budzyń, and we waited… because, as it turned out, the bus had to arrive from Piła. I think it took us to Rogoźno, where the next train was waiting for us. Overall, I think we've lost around 2 hours on that, or perhaps more.
If I took the Krzyż-bound train, I would have lost maybe half an hour… But these were the old days. Today, the trains from Piła reach Poznań much faster, and Krzyż rarely offers good changes.

Modern #AI text generators create randomized output with no prior planning. They resist to be quality-checked by tools and processes established in the software industry.
Given this, the results are amazing. However, companies are selling the idea that these assistants will do quality checking themselves soon™.
This is mass delusion. But hey, the perks for managers/investors are worthwhi…
