That one I can't blame the AI for, it was my mistake. When I get my next free daily credits tomorrow, I will set that right :-) Of course I could also use an image editor to move the decimal point, but what do we have AI for...

In the meantime, let me entertain you with a matching song:
Memories In Numbers

For me, 2024 is the year when (publicly available) AI software really took off. I loosely followed the progress over the years after first having come in contact with neural networks around 1990. Computers were far too slow then and apart from some lab demonstrations (we used it to try and classify types of crop in satellite radar images) this seemed to be a thing of a distant future. 35 years later might seem a distant future, but now it starts to be really powerful and useful.

I must say that I have recently, say during the last half year, found my old fascination for calculators again by trying out, playing with and using AI tools. This really keeps me awake at night, just like working my way through a calculator manual 45 years ago.
