Not absent - still here!

‘Believe nothing of what you hear,

And only half of what you see’

Should be an adage now all hold dear –

Truth which allows us to foresee........

    We get told and see so many untruths in this world Dave that we must always be aware.

    Always Andy, and always have the critical thinking weapon on the ready.

    Agreed! In context of AI and a whole history full of deep faking.

    • Doggerel Dave

      Yes - always been true, AI is just a deeper level of sophistication, but not as deep as some would give it credit for.

        A rhyme, a rhyme - a valued endorsement there, Neville.

        It's gotten to the point that I don't believe even half of what I see and what's worse I don't even believe what I believe. Good write Dave

            Definitely received wisdom, Thad. Advice from a time when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Makes me almost believe there are universal truths.....
