WHEN AI ISN'T I

With all of the hype about AI (Artificial Intelligence) taking over our lives and ruining them, is this a realistic threat or just hyperbole? As you have seen on my home page my hotmail got blocked due to someone trying to access it. Fine, I love security. But, I have been trying for 4 days to get back in and verify that it is really my email account. When I tried to "contact" someone at Microsoft it says to login. I can't log in. When I try to use a chat room it says to sign in. I can't sign in. I finally got into the chatroom using my wife's log in. The chat is all AI driven, no human interaction. There is no phone number to call support for help either. Just endless chains or strings of robot Q&A. Would I ever buy another piece of Microsoft software? HELL NO!

I have all of the emails from those of you who want to buy my next books stored in that account and now I cannot access them. BIG PROBLEM. So when is AI not intelligent? I hope that Bill Gates rots in some sort of cyber hell with his billions of dollars for making his creation so incommunicado. I have opened a gmail account for those of you who want to contact me. That new address is: [email protected]

Thank you for being patient with me as I work through this cock-up and try to get back to some normalcy. I also see this morning that someone has hacked 2.9 billion pieces of data from Social Security accounts. Think of the irony, "Social Security." This can't end well.
