I think the public really needs better education about these things. They're ascribing abilities that they just don't have. Eliza is a bot from the 60s, and the last I knew there was a version from the early 2000s. Responses were

I've run PopOS for over 2 years now, and am happy with it after distro-hopping for years. It runs Steam very well, the interface is great and works well with a hi-res display, and it is very easy to setup custom keyboard shortcuts, whi
