A-I (Artificial Intelligence)
I was watching Finnerty on NewsMax tonight and he said “A-I is smarter than most Americans” to which I readily agreed. Then I thought “This is not a very high hurdle to leap, because this author is smarter than most Americans, and A-I as well!” Maybe I am A-I!

Duhh!
My “Smarter than A-I” Case!
Whenever I go on a Chatroom, I notice that the “Chat-Person” is most likely A-I which always asks me a few personal questions and then refers me to an “Expert” who will charge me a nominal, but refundable fee for his or her advice. My “Smarter than A-I brain rejects the offer and I close the Chatroom. Case Closed!
PS: Could A-I stand for “Asinine Intellect?”
