I'm a fan of actual, practical uses of #AI, and here is one:
In #Google Forms, you can ask #Gemini to generate a form for you based on a sentence or two. It'll show you a preview (which you can accept or re-generate), and then it automatically creates the questions to give you a starting point. 👍

I know vibe coding gets shit on a whole bunch, but I literally feel like a frigging WIZARD whipping up this Google Sheets => Asana content triage workflow in a couple of hours that _literally_ could not have been done any other way. (Not for lack of skill, but for lack time. 😭)

Heads up: I'm gonna do some armchair #Canada political analysis, instead of your regularly scheduled program of "nerding out about gaming" or "dorking around with tech." 🤣
