   AI? Really?

      Not really related to VMS but considering all the rage over AI I   
   thought people here might get a chuckle out of this.   
      
      I am sure  most people here know me and my long standing interest   
   in the Software Tools Virtual Operating System which was, basically,   
   POSIX before anyone even thought of the concept.   
      
   Among my other "legacy" systems I also have and still fool around   
   with a bunch of TRS-80's.  Believe it or  not, the Z80 based TRS-80's   
   were among the systems for which a version of STVOS was available.   
   Thought I would look to see if any of it was still floating around.   
      
   Asked Google   
      
   "TRS-80  Software Tools Virtual Operating System"   
      
   Got this result at the top of my response generated by whatever AI   
   engine they use.   
      
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------   
   A "TRS-80 Software Tools Virtual Operating System" refers to a software   
   program that allows a modern computer to emulate a vintage TRS-80   
   computer, essentially creating a virtual environment where you can run   
   old TRS-80 software, including operating systems like TRSDOS, by   
   simulating the hardware and functionality of the original machine,   
   letting you access and use programs designed for the TRS-80 on your   
   current computer.   
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------   
      
   That is the biggest pile of steaming poo I have ever seen come out of   
   any of the various AI engines I have run into.  Not one piece of it is   
   accurate other than the mention of TRSDOS.   
      
   I also have a bunch of iRobot Roombas in my house.  Based on my   
   experience with AI and robots I think there is no chance we will   
   have to worry about any Terminators in the future.
