A new season of ducklings. Fare well little duckies (I'm always very sad when I see the number decline as they get lost, picked off by predators, or otherwise don't get to adulthood)

The people who *make this tech* can't get it to work in a simple demo, and their magical thinking about it has convinced them that they didn't need to do the most basic level of preparation for their demonstration. So it is, in fact, an excellent demonstration of what genAI will do for society.
