Here’s my $10 worth since 2¢ wasn’t enough.

AI This, AI That: An Incomplete, Inexhaustible List of Things We Still Can’t Do, Despite Living in a Supposed Technological Utopia

  1. We have wifi in planes, but tanning beds still give you cancer—no one, in all their infinite technological genius, has figured out how to simulate a little winter sun without also simulating death.

  2. Speaking of Airplane Wi-Fi, it barely works and costs at least five dollars a flight.

  3. The fact that whenever I fly, I always end up behind someone that’s NEVER flown before in the TSA line.

  4. Every computer update still takes an hour, crashes halfway through, and leaves me wondering if I’ll ever see my files again. Meanwhile, I keep clicking “Update Later” until it finally updates in the middle of a meeting.

  5. Fitted sheets.

  6. My voice assistant still can’t understand me unless I say it in the same robotic monotone as a GPS reciting directions in a hostage situation.

  7. New York still doesn’t have proper trash cans, and people just leave bags of trash on the sidewalk for trash day.

  8. If anyone is worried about AI, just go to the DMV.
