We live in exciting times. The future is truly upon us. There is much to process and almost too many new discoveries and various technologies to keep track of. I, myself, just recently became aware of the ability for AI to create images based on just a few simple descriptive words. Pretty amazing.

And, if this is the first time you have seen the term ChatGPT, you either live in a cave or recently awoke from a coma. Just in case you fit into one of those categories this is language generating Artificial Intelligence that can respond to any written prompt with a cogent and complete discourse that almost sounds like a human wrote it; if humans used perfect grammar and spelling and could instantly draw from a database of about a Gazillion different written resources.

These and other AI tools could hold unlimited potential for creation (or just as possibly be a source of annoyance akin to robo-dialers and targeted advertising). Either way, we human/mortals will need a way to concisely define the source of information, and what is more concise than a pronoun?

So, without further ado I give you the word, “Someboty”. Yep, someboty. (Set up your phone and computer’s auto-correct feature now and get ahead of the curve).
