About a decade ago, I listened to Melvyn Bragg's BBC Radio 4 show, In Our Time, on The Epic of Gilgamesh, about a Sumerian king in Mesopotamia reputed to have lived 5,000 years ago. I was thunderstruck to hear described in the ancient epic that even then, 5,000 years ago, the Sumerians noted...

Yeah, when you press it, it could show you the voltage of your 12V battery! 🤣

Doesn't the physical key inside the FOB unlock the door even if the 12V battery is dead? From there, you can pull the frunk latch and either replace or jump start the 12V battery... Edit_Update: But I agree, a FOB won't do you any good if you've locked it inside your truck, unless you're going...

Mine now renews for 1 year @ $0.00 on 5/6/2028. So, I'll get 3 years beyond what I would have with my subscription acquired by vehicle purchase expiring on 5/5/2026. However, these renewals aren't quite free, are they? Don't you need AT&T cellular service from Ford for BlueCruise to work...

Bed scale: I'd like to use it (even have one), but unfortunately, Ford left it out of the 2023's...

@NeighborGeek, you've got my post 180° reversed, looking at it from the wrong angle. The point is about "slop of the human mind" in comparison to complaints about "AI slop," as if the average human mind were some impeccable pinnacle of achievement (it's not). The point is, forget about AI...

For those down on AI, here's an interesting story: A red pixel in the snow: How AI solved the mystery of a missing mountaineer. Just like humans, AI is not always right, but it can do things that are humanly impossible or impractical.

100% agree. The FDA exists because, in the 19th century, quite a few companies sold doctored, fake food products to maximize their profit. Free enterprise does not guarantee that only good guys survive and rise to the top in any market, or that the products they sell are impeccably safe. Free...

@chl +++ Love your new avatar!

I think in the quoted ChatGPT reply I provided, it's pretty evident that medical AI is a vast encompassing topic that can involve in-depth analysis, or what's radiographic image analysis all about!? I also suffer from atrial fibrillation (a common failing in old age) and have a Kardia Mobile...

The next time you grab something off the Internet, you might want to examine it in more in depth... Full-analysis: https://chatgpt.com/share/696164b3-5234-800a-a513-183946965a53 If anyone just relies on ChatGPT, Google Gemini, MS Copilot, or Anthropic, etc., for medical advice, they're not...

That's trying to move the goal posts... The comparison is in the execution of dispensing, not the planning for it. If you want to do that, who does AI programming??? - human beings - so its shortcomings reflect up-to-now human understanding and design shortcomings. It's only the Model-T days...

Just look at the current human slop in the world. Human error in medicine kills and impairs tens of thousands of people each year in the U.S. alone. Same for drivers on the road. Take this forum as an example of the human mind. 🤣 I read years ago that the VA PHARMACY uses robots to dispense...

Your negative folks on AI need to carry a little card in your wallet that says in the event of an emergency you don’t want to be treated with anything related to AI. Put your money where your mouth is. AI can now interpret radiographs better and more reliably than human radiologists, e.g...

First, give it a chance and try it. If Ford Assistant knows all about FDRS and FORScan and could advise where your truck is on updates, that would be something (I guess, since FORScan is in a gray area, the FORScan bit will never happen). But AI has a breadth and depth most human minds will...
