(I feel like I should explain why I have deeply nihilistic conversations with software I didn’t pay for. I decline.)

Me: Rewrite, less harshly: Carney’s housing promises are ambitious, but whether he delivers remains to be seen.

Botty: Carney’s housing promises are ambitious, but their success will depend on execution.

Me: Bit *sterile*.

Botto: Carney’s housing promises are ambitious, but time will tell if he can follow through.

Me: Why not. If I had the time to polish a turd ... but who will know the difference?

Botnothing: Glad you liked it! Let me know if you need more tweaks. 😊

Me: I don’t.

Botthead: All good! Just let me know if you ever do. 😊

(At this point I’m thinking — well, you’ll see.)

Me: I will.

(I have a plan. A thought experiment. Also, I’m on deadline. These are gems on your path to illumination.)

Botm-fdr: Sounds good! Catch you next time. 😊

Me: Not if I catch you first.

Botler: Haha, challenge accepted! 😄
