Thanks for a good laugh! Going forward, I'm actually thinking of using more of AI's help to translate my late grandpa's book of poetry from Chinese to English, in addition to manually doing it. Two Substack writers helped me with the translation here, and I was tempted to add AI's translation but didn't get to do it in the end (https://peckgee.substack.com/p/after-the-sunlit-rain).

Recently, I just had a conversation with an AI researcher on how AI has been misunderstood. Hoping to release the post soon, if only I don't get distracted!

Oh, thank you for sharing that lovely post. It was a joy to read.

Personally, I think AI might do an interesting job with your grandfather’s poems. (If Punchy disagrees with me, that’s his problem.)

I spent many years lolling with manatees while visiting friends off the coast of Georgia. They have many marvelous qualities, but turning my stilted prose into something that gracefully makes sense is not one of them. ChatGPT rules! Sorry Punchy.

Punchy will be just fine. He’s currently sulking after seeing that I used him for clickbait in this post’s headline.
