I heard that the Neanderthals were equally bummed out when Mousterian toolmaking went out of style, but what are you going to do? Maybe some things are best forgotten. That's what my girlfriend told me when I started using AI to write Neanderthal romance novels.

"What could AI possibly know about Neanderthal dating?" she reminded me.

But then I proved to her that the reason we only have 4% Neanderthal DNA (in ourselves) is because, well, just like AI, the Neanderthals could never even remember the last date anyway.

And that's why AI is just like the Neanderthals.

My next project is running an LLM on a dual floppy Apple 2e. I'll let you know when I get there.
