When I sat down to use the word processing program Word, I was accosted by my computer which wanted me to use “Copilot.” I don’t need copilot to compose what many humans have, until recently, been capable of creating, a column in the newspaper.

A generosity of spirit lingered in the air Saturday from sunrise to well past sunset.
Someone says something. You disagree. You yell: “You don’t know what you’re talking about!” Now what?
