AI conversational bots
Has anyone checked out any of the Chat AIs like Chat GPT? They seem pretty interesting. It's amazing what computers can do!

Will MacBook Air M2 16/512 be back in stock at GA-Marietta?
So the MBA M2 16/512 still shows up on the GA-Duluth store site, but not on the GA-Marietta store site.
