Happy New Year: AI and New Year’s Cards

Happy New Year.

I stopped sending New Year's cards 20 years ago, but,

This year, I had AI draw it for me.

I also had AI write my New Year's greeting, but,

The phrase "Let's make an effort every day to grow as individuals" keeps popping up over and over again!

No, no—my wish is for AI and robots to do the hard work for me so I can take it easy.

So, the AI-generated greeting is rejected!

Last year was a year in which robots and AI became more integrated into my daily life than ever before, and they helped me out a great deal.

I wonder what 2023 will bring.

May the new year bring you all

I sincerely hope you have a wonderful year.

We look forward to your continued support this year.
