Leaving the post office last night, I didn't get a good pic.

Possibly a 67 Pontiac Lemans(?) as I don't spot a GTO badge. 

Regardless, extra credit since it isn't the car show night in Westmont.

Here's a bonus. While I waited to pull into my plaza with heavy oncoming traffic,

this guy missed the driveway by a ton even though he had plenty of time to back up and try again. 

With having to make a tight turn into the right lane on busy Ogden Ave., his hopping over the curb 

was even worse than it appeared it would be from the pic.

His right tire went over the curb 6-8 ft. in from the end.

Please don't waste energy and water performing needless tasks such as this.

 

And besides, AI doesn't recognize a Pontiac convertible AND a Ford pickup, not mention the mangling of the license plate on the Pontiac. Intelligence my butt.


 It's weird being the same age as Old People.

Not to make this an AI discussion but once everyone understands that AI is nothing more than a super powered SQL, with maybe the exception of the graphics/video production, then the "magic" will rub off. The whole hubbub is nothing but finding the fastest and most efficient way to retrieve, assemble and output the requested data. The whole AI thing will flop (remember the dot-com bubble?) and then the real value of it will be discovered. Right now it's musical chairs with *Trillion Dollar* wagers.
