Tea Time

Fun Fact: A teetotaler has nothing to do with drinking tea.

Yet I am one now.

I never thought I would be a tea drinker. Growing up nobody I knew drank tea. My parents and everyone else in our world were big time coffee drinkers. The only tea we saw was when we went to Chinese restaurant, and nobody drank it.

Earlier this year when I was trying bridge the gap between morning coffee and afternoon snack I started drinking Twinings oolong tea. We had that in the house because Barb’s mom drank it. I put a little zero sugar coconut creamer in it and fell in love.

Started to try other types of tea. English Breakfast, Earl.Grey Chai. All good. I wanted to try something a step above the Bigelow or Twinings level.

Hello Whole Foods. Whole Foods is walking distance from the house so we shop there a lot. When you look at the WF tea section it puts Publix to shame. So much to choose from! On that day the brand Rishi was on sale so I bought a 4 pack of English breakfast, earl grey, ruby oolong and masala chai. And never looked.back.

Rishi brought the tea drinking experience to a whole new level for this tea novice.

Fun Fact: All those teas and even green tea come from the camillia sinensis (tea) plant.

AI is Dumb

EXAMPLE #1

I do a 30 minute ride on my Echelon bike. I take a photo of the Echelon screen at the end of my ride. Then I upload the pic to Google AI and ask it “Rate and review my ride on Echelon 5es”

First thing Google says is that the screen is a Pelaton screen then goes on to review the ride. So I inform Google that it is in fact an Echelon. It comes back and says “Oh, sorry your right.” You’d think reading and comprehension would be the first thing an AI would learn.

EXAMPLE #2

We ordered a new dresser on Amazon. It arrived today. On the outside of the box it said “Box 2 of 2 – another box may arrive separately” That wasn’t what we expected so I took a pic of the product description label and uploaded to AI. AI described the dresser but didn’t say anything about 2 boxes. I asked where the other box is and AI told me it’s only in one box. So I told it about the whole box 2 of 2 yada yada yada. And AI comes back and said “My mistake, after re reading the label you should be expecting another box”

WTF AI?!
