Oh no, you got me. And since I've been caught talking nonsense let me explain how I (as an outsider) got these crazy ideas: I overestimated complexity involved in creating smarts behind it, Siri and Bixby mislead me. Glad to know that

We're talking about assistants here (you may replace 'assistant' with 'AI'). There are many-many-many teams working on different aspects of it but it's a single product at the end. It's not the same as spa

Is it a declared right to keep a home in the family? Also why new homeowners not inheriting it are supposed to be paying property taxes in full?

by pound 8y ago
