It's getting pretty hard to tell these days.
Is this AI or the real thing?

Definitely AI. Look how janky the spreaders are. Also the lightning bolt seems to originate at the masthead.

I looked at how one guy went to the mast after the strike and paid no attention the the guy blown overboard.

AI, the spreaders and the guy being blown overboard.

The fire on deck after the strike looks pretty hinky.

I'm wonder, besides how blasé they seem to take the strike, why they were out on the foredeck, in that weather, with no sail out. Where is the main? That didn't look like in-mast or in-boom roller furling.

You mean you’ve never seen a fire spontaneously appear and then evaporate from a fiberglass surface, leaving no trace at all?

Go to any thread, copy the question into ChapGPT and see that the output quoting comments in the thread. With no fact checking.

This fake AI stuff that’s popping up everywhere is really pissing me off! What really amazes me is that these people have nothing better to do with their lives.

It's not people. They DON'T have anything better to do -- it is what they do.

AI introduction reminds me of the beginnings of the home computer age. Everyone is playing with it. It is providing some good and a lot of bad.
The use of it in business:

• Hey! We just got the AI voice answering system up and running.
• Oh wow! How’s is it going?
• Great. Our call service is reporting a real downturn in calls that have to be answered by a live person.
• Nice. That sounds like we can reduce our human team by 60%.
• No maybe 80%
